Abstract

Background: Parkinson's disease is known for its group of motor symptoms and non- motor symptoms that cause disability and negatively affect the patient's quality of life. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment to minimize the negative effects of the disease and drug side effects on the patient. Objective: To describe the clinical symptoms and evaluation of the results of levodopa combined with pramipexole in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Material and method: 61 individuals with Parkinson’s disease admitted to Can Tho Central General Hospital from March 2021 to May 2022 investigate motor symptoms, non-motor symptoms, UPDRS scores, and PDQ-39 scores at untreated and after levodopa combined pramipexole therapy. Results: The mean age of disease was 65±5.15. Common motor symptoms were dyskinesia (96.72%), muscle stiffness, cogwheel (96.72%), and tremor (95.08%). Common non-motor symptoms were pain, sensory disturbance (93.44%), and autonomic dysfunction (93.44%). Combination therapy of levodopa and pramipexole resulted in statistically significant improvements in the UPDRS part I, II, and III scores and PDQ-39 scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Treatment with levodopa combined with pramipexole improves clinical symptoms and quality of life in Parkinson's patients, through an improvement in the UPDRS score and PDQ-39 score.
