Abstract

Objective: To analyze the impact of pain on the quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods: 200 patients with primary Parkinson's disease admitted in the Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from August 2019 to November 2020 were selected for the experiment, and these patients were divided into pain group and non-pain group in turn. Among them, there were 98 patients in the pain group and 102 patients in the non-pain group. King's Parkinson's disease pain scale was used to evaluate the severity and type of pain, and then ess and HAMD-17 were used to evaluate patients' depression and daytime sleepiness. Results: the incidence of pain in patients with Parkinson's disease was about 49%, including 38% of wave related pain and 74% of musculoskeletal pain. The score of quality-of-life Scale-39 in the pain group was higher than that in the non-pain group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). Conclusion: musculoskeletal pain is a common type of pain in patients with Parkinson's disease, followed by nocturnal pain and fluctuation related pain. Its pain will have a direct impact on the quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease.
