Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Clinical and electrophysiological detection of the presence of PNP in accordance with the criteria of the American Academy of Neurology for the definition of distal symmetrical polyneuropathy in clinical studies (England JD, Gronseth GS et al. 2005) and at least two of the following symptoms: (a) neuropathic symptoms, (b) decreased ankle reflexes, (c) decreased distal sensitivity and (d) distal muscle weakness or atrophy in patients with Parkinson's disease at baseline and follow-up after 1, 2, and 3 years.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
