Impulse control disorders and related behaviours (ICD-RBs) in Parkinson′s disease patients: Assessment using "Questionnaire for impulsive-compulsive disorders in Parkinson′s disease" (QUIP)

Abstract

Our study revealed a relatively higher frequency of ICD-RBs, probably because of the use of screening instrument and because we combined both ICDs and ICRBs. Also high proportion of DA use (81.6%) among our patients might be responsible. The role of genetic factors that might increase the risk of developing ICD-RBs in this population needs further exploration.
