Brief summary
End-of-dose fluctuations e. g. wearing-off are defined as a recurrence of motor and non-motor Parkinson's Disease (PD) symptoms that precedes a scheduled dose and improves with the next dose of anti-parkinsonian medication. Azilect® is approved and recommended for therapy of wearing-off-/End-of-dose fluctuations and improves motor fluctuations significantly in combination therapy with L-dopa and other parkinsonian medication.
Detailed description
The aim of the non-interventional study is to document efficacy and tolerability of rasagiline as a combination therapy in patients with wearing-off-/End-of-dose fluctuations and the effect of rasagiline on individual wearing-off symptoms, recognized by wearing-off questionnaire 32 (WOQ-32).
