Effects of dopamine agonists on neuropsychiatric symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
The efficacy of dopamine (DA) agonists in the treatment of motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) has been clearly demonstrated. It has also been documented that DA agonists may have both a positive and a negative impact on neuropsychiatric symptoms in PD patients. This paper will focus on the effects of DA agonists on depressive and cognitive symptoms of PD.
