Abstract

Introduction: Parkinson's disease is one of the most frequent neurodegenerative diseases of the motor system that affects the quality of life of the patient.

Methods: A descriptive study was carried out, which included patients with diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, treated in the Movement Disorders Clinic of the International Center for Neurological Restoration (CIREN) from October 2018 to October 2019, sample consisted of 100 patients with Parkinson's disease.

Results: The average age was 60.21% years; the most affected group was that of 60 to 69 years old, the predominant sex was male; 38% were university students; 50% were in stage II of the Hoehn and Yarh scale; 44% were in the group of 1 to 5 years of evolution of the disease, the first symptom that appeared in the disease was tremor in 56%; 58% had sleep disorders and 51% depression; the most percent of the patients had medical treatment levodopa / carbidopa; 55% had a history of previous falls.

Conclusions: Knowing the clinical-epidemiological characteristics and the repercussion that this disease represents for the patient from the psychic, physical and social point of view will make easier its diagnosis and medical treatment.
