Sensory symptoms in Parkinson's disease

William C. Koller, MD, PhD

From the Department of Neurology, Loyola University, Stritch School of Medicine, Hines VA Hospital, Chicago, IL.

Nineteen of 50 Parkinson patients had sensory complaints of numbness, coldness, burning, or pain. There was no objective sensory loss, and sensory symptoms did not correlate with specific motor or autonomic signs. Symptoms were frequently restricted to the hemiparkinson side and sometimes preceded motor symptoms. Nerve conduction and somatosensory evoked potential studies were normal.

This research was supported by the Veterans Administration.

Accepted for publication November 10, 1983.
