Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The aim of the study is to develop and validate a new, multidimensional screening instrument (Picture-based Neuropsychiatric Syndromes Questionnaire; Pic-NPS) for the mainly speech-free recording of depression, anxiety, apathy, fatigue, mania, impulse control disorders and psychosis in neurological and psychiatric patients (including healthy controls). The current version of the screening instrument comprises 31 items (6 items for depression, 5 items for mania, 5 items for impulse control disorders, 4 items for anxiety, 3 items for fatigue, 3 items for apathy, 5 items for psychosis). The assessment time is approximately 10 minutes. Another aim is the validation of a newly developed language-based screening questionnaire (Neuropsychiatric Syndromes Questionnaire; NPSQ) for the assessment of neuropsychiatric syndromes in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
