Key Points

  • The aim is to compare the severity and treatment outcomes of constipation in Parkinson's disease (PD) versus non-PD patients.
  • Evaluated constipation severity using a scoring system
  • Compared laxative use patterns in PD and non-PD patients
  • Conducted a prospective analysis of treatment outcomes
  • Constipation severity and treatment outcomes were similar in both groups
  • PD patients had longer-lasting symptoms
  • Distinct patterns of laxative use were observed in PD patients

Abstract

Although constipation severity and treatment outcomes were comparable between PD and non-PD patients, PD patients more often experienced long-standing symptoms and demonstrated distinct patterns of laxative use. Prospective studies are warranted to evaluate standardized treatment protocols to better clarify treatment outcomes and inform clinical practice.
