Brief summary

The present study compare personality of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with chronic, PD patients without pain and non-parkinsonian patients with other chronic pain condition.

Detailed description

The present study would like to compare personality dimensions from the Temperament and character inventory (TCI) in four groups of patients: PD patients with chronic pain related to PD, PD patients without pain and non-PD patients with chronic pain such as fibromyalgia or chronic headache. Our aim is to evaluate if PD patients with chronic pain related to PD have a different personality than PD patients without pain and to see if this personality is specific to PD.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
TCI personality dimensions between the two groups of patients24 monthscompare scores of the seven TCI personality dimensions between the two groups of parkinsonian patients with or without chronic pain related to PD. This will allow to determinate if PD patients with chronic pain related to PD have a different personality than PD patients without pain

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
personality dimensions of the TCI and two-by-two analyses24 monthscompare personality dimensions of the TCI through two-by-two analyses between PD patients with chronic pain related to PD and patients presenting another chronic pain etiology: 1\) patients with fibromyalgia, 2) patients with chronic headache. This will allow to determinate if PD patients with chronic pain have a personality specific to their PD
association between personality the seven TCI and scores24 monthsdeterminate if there are some associations between the seven TCI personality dimensions of PD patients with chronic pain related to PD and different pain parameters: * the pain intensity evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) * the functional discomfort evaluated with the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) * the acceptation of pain evaluated with the Chronic Pain Acceptance questionnaire-8 (CPAQ-8) * the discriminative and affective components of pain evaluated with the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) * the level of catastrophism evaluated with the Pain Catastrophism Scale (PCS).
association between personality the seven TCI personality dimensions and different pain24 monthsdeterminate if there are some associations between the seven TCI personality dimensions of PD patients with chronic pain related to PD and different pain parameters: * the pain intensity evaluated with the VAS (Visual Analog Scale) * the functional discomfort evaluated with the BPI (Brief Pain Inventory) * the acceptation of pain evaluated with the CPAQ-8 (Chronic Pain Acceptance questionnaire-8) * the discriminative and affective components of pain evaluated with the SF-MPQ (short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire) * the level of catastrophism evaluated with the PCS (Pain Catastrophism Scale)
association of personality dimensions of the TCI and in other patients with chronic pain etiology24 monthsdeterminate if there are some associations between TCI personality dimensions and these same previous parameters (VAS, BPI, CPAQ-8, SF-MPQ, PCS and ORT) in other patients with chronic pain etiology: 1) first, in patients with fibromyalgia, 2) then, in patients with chronic headache
exploratory objective24 monthsdeterminate if there are some associations between TCI personality dimensions in PD patients with chronic pain related to PD and PD-specific pain evaluated by the King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale (KPPS)
