Wearable technology devices will replace clinical PD motor assessments.

Capsule: The current standard of PD management relies on patient histories and neurological examinations. However the infrequent nature of medical visits limits the ability to optimize care.  With wearable technologies, neurologists can now collect longer durations of patient information and utilize these continuous objective measures to tailor management and do so with greater precision.

SESSION 23 | PD: PSYCHOSIS AND MOTOR FLUCTUATIONS

Chairpersons:

10:45-11:35

Treating PD psychosis early improves long-term outcomes.

Capsule: Psychosis is commonly observed as a consequence of PD therapy. However the type of perceptual disturbance or thought content varies. The co-occurrence of depression, psychosis and dementia in patients with PD may indicate a more widespread pathological process affecting many neurotransmitter systems. Would early treatment of psychosis improve long-term outcomes?

Gastrointestinal dysmotility is the major cause of motor fluctuations in PD.

Capsule: Erratic gastric emptying is certainly one cause for fluctuations in advanced disease. However, dopaminergic neurons depletion and limited levodopa storage are the classical causes of fluctuations. Then should we treat brain or should we treat stomach and gut in PD?

SESSION 24 | DYSKINESIAS

Chairpersons:

Pablo Mir Rivera, Spain & Angela Deutschlaender, USA

13:25-14:15

Medical treatment of dyskinesia is as effective as deep brain stimulation (DBS).

Capsule: Dyskinesias affect a significant proportion of patients with PD, and is mostly observed after disease durations of several years. The presence of severe motor fluctuations and dyskinesias is one of the most important reasons for clinicians to recommend DBS. Can medical treatment achieve a reduction of dyskinesias which is comparable to DBS?

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) remains a common consequence of conventional antipsychotics.

Capsule: TD represents involuntary movements affecting face, trunk or extremities, usually occurring after treatment with antipsychotics. The prevalence of TD in patients treated with conventional antipsychotic drugs ranges between 20-50%, and atypical antipsychotic drugs are thought to carry a lower risk of TD. These involuntary movements, may disappear after discontinuation of the incriminated drug. How do we do the long-term management of the psychiatric patient that developed TD?

Off time will disappear with longer acting levodopa (LD) formulations.

Capsule: The so called "honeymoon" period of good response to LD in PD lasts after 5-7 years. The mechanisms responsible for the loss of smooth response are complex and include gastric emptying as well as pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors. Could a better LD formulation solve the problem?

Subcutaneous apomorphine infusion should be used before other advanced therapies.

Capsule: Subcutaneous apomorphine infusion and advanced therapies of motor symptoms of PD intrajejunal levodopa infusions and DBS, each with distinct side effects. The individual PD symptoms profile should be assessed in order to choose an optimal treatment option. Should we use apomorphine infusions prior to recommending DBS surgery or intrajejunal levodopa infusions?

Development of non-dopaminergic therapies is a greater unmet need than dopaminergic treatments.

Capsule: PD patients suffer motor and non-motor symptoms. Most motor symptoms are dopamine-responsive. But some motor symptoms, such as tremor, as well as non-motor symptoms, may not respond and even worsen with dopaminergic medication. The question therefore arises whether development of non-dopaminergic therapies is a greater unmet need than dopaminergic treatments.

SESSION 40 | PARKINSONS DISEASE (PD): COPPADIS MEETING

Chairpersons:

Juan Carlos Martínez Castrillo, Spain & Jaime Kulisevsky, Spain

Capsule: Well-designed, prospective studies for identifying PD progression biomarkers are necessary. COPPADIS-2015 (Cohort of Patient´s with Parkinson's Disease in Spain, 2015) is an observational, descriptive, 5-year follow-up, nationwide study with more than 1,000 subjects participating that try to provide important knowledge about PD progression. Here, we show some interesting data about this ongoing project.

SESSION 41 | PARKINSON'S DISEASE

Chairpersons:

10:15-11:05

Is vascular parkinsonism (VaP) is a useful clinical entity?

Capusle: The diagnosis of VaP is based on convergence of clinical parkinsonism with variable pyramidal and ataxic motor and non-motor signs, such as cognitive changes or bladder incontinence, that are corroborated by anatomic or imaging findings of cerebrovascular disease. Some experts disagree.
