Parkinson's Impulse‐Control Scale for the Severity Rating of Impulse‐Control Behaviors in Parkinson's Disease: A Semistructured Clinical Assessment Tool

Abstract

The PICS appears to be a reliable measure of the full range of PD ICBs with good levels of interrater reliability. It may provide a useful measure to assess the severity of ICBs and monitor change in clinical and research settings; although, given the specialized centers used for recruitment of this sample, further psychometric evaluation is required.
