The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has yielded containment measures with detrimental effects on the physical and mental health of the general population. The impacts of lockdown on clinical features in Parkinson's disease are not well known. We aimed to compare the physical activity, anxiety-depression levels between Parkinson's disease patients and controls during lockdown. Forty-five Parkinson's disease patients and 43 controls were evaluated with the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) via telephone interview. The patients' disease-related symptoms were worsened during lockdown though regular Parkinson's disease medication use. The PASE scores were low in both groups. The HADS scores of groups were below the cutoff point of anxiety-depression presence. Pandemic restrictions could lead to worsening of the motor and nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson's disease.
新型冠状病毒 2019 疫情采取的遏制措施对一般人群的身心健康产生了不利影响。封锁对帕金森病临床特征的影响尚不清楚。我们旨在比较封锁期间帕金森病患者和对照组之间的身体活动和焦虑抑郁水平。通过电话访谈,对 45 名帕金森病患者和 43 名对照组进行了身体活动量表(PASE)和医院焦虑抑郁量表(HADS)评估。尽管患者定期使用帕金森病药物,但在封锁期间,他们的疾病相关症状恶化。两组的 PASE 评分均较低。两组的 HADS 评分均低于焦虑抑郁存在的临界值。大流行限制可能导致帕金森病的运动和非运动症状恶化。
