Introduction[edit | edit source]
Drooling in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an many times disregarded however it is an important non-motor symptom that impacts the patient's quality of life, [1] having negative physical and psychosocial consequences for patients.[2] In relatively advanced patients with PD, drooling occurs in over 30% of patients, with dysphagia occurring with greater frequency in these patients[1]. The precise pathophysiological mechanism of drooling in PD is not clear, however excessive drooling is shown to be associated with higher burdens of non-motor symptoms and greater motor fluctuations of motor symptoms and bradykinesia[3].
