Evaluate the impact of dyskinesia and OFF time on everyday life for persons with Parkinson’s disease (PWPs) and their family members/care partners (CPs).
Levodopa is a gold-standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease, but dyskinesia is a common complication of its use, with estimates of up to 90% of PWPs having dyskinesia within 9-15 years of initiating treatment. Many studies evaluating dyskinesia burden are confined to specific clinic populations. The Parkinson and Movement Disorder (PMD) Alliance is a national advocacy organization uniquely positioned to reach across diverse communities of PWPs and CPs to assess impact of dyskinesia and OFF.
PMD Alliance online questionnaire evaluating the presence and impact of dyskinesia and OFF. Questions included basic demographic and disease state information, presence and frequency of dyskinesia or OFF and their impact on social interactions and activities. CPs answered questions relative to their own experiences and those of the PWP.

Preliminary analyses. Of a total 892 surveys, 775 surveys were valid for analysis and came from 527 PWPs (68%) and 248 CPs (32%). Seventy-eight percent (n=604) expressed no or only moderate understanding of dyskinesia and OFF. Fifty-one percent (n=398) reported experiencing dyskinesia and 76% (n=591) reported experiencing OFF at least occasionally, with 48% (n=368) reporting both dyskinesia and OFF. For respondents acknowledging dyskinesia and respondents acknowledging OFF, 86% and 90% reported presence of these problems daily and 61% and 60%, respectively, changed plans and activities to accommodate these.

Of PWPs/CPs reporting dyskinesia and/or OFF (n=621), 32% feel that these motor fluctuations make social interactions difficult, and 27% say that dyskinesia and OFF can be isolating and lead to feelings of loneliness.

Based on PWP and CP surveys, dyskinesia and OFF are common, interrupt daily routine, and are often isolating and impact social interactions.
