Description
Alex Mondomobe and colleagues assessed non-motor symptoms in 2026 among Parkinson patients in Senegal and their toll on daily life. Tremor and stiffness define diagnosis, yet sleep trouble, constipation, pain, and mood shifts often hurt quality of life more. Fifty-two patients at Pikine National Hospital were scored for non-motor burden and life quality from January to August 2024.
Sleep disturbance struck 98%, constipation and pain 84.6% each, and mobility plus daily activities suffered most. Non-motor scores tracked life-quality scores closely, and depression plus thinking problems predicted the worst quality of life. The findings argue for routine non-motor screening in African Parkinson clinics, where motor care alone misses the heaviest burdens.
