概要 | Objective: An 87-year-old female diagnosed with Parkinson's disease consulted our clinic presenting with gait disturbance and lumbago.
Design: A clinical study. Materials and methods: The patient had hypokinesia, a stooped posture and walking with short steps. And in the "off" peri- ods, slow movement, gait disturbance and lumbago became worse. She was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at modified Hoehn & Yahr (HY) stage 4. The total unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) and revised version of Hasegawa's dementia scale (HDS-R) became 71 and 25 respectively. Results: Her visual analogue scale (VAS) score for lumbago was 52 mm on a 0-100 mm scale. We started the treatment with 624 mg/day of Neurotropin tablets. After treatment with Neurotropin, her lumbago dramatically improved. Conclusions: Neurotropin may be useful for the clinical management of lumbago of Parkinson's disease. |
