Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study was to describe neurologists' population of patients treated with pramipexole and suffering from Parkinson's disease (so called 'primary care' population).
The secondary objectives were:
-
Evaluate the mean dose of pramipexole prescribed under actual conditions of use depending on the severity of the disease.
-
Evaluate the reasons for choosing pramipexole as treatment.
-
Identify the patient profiles determining the choice of dose of pramipexole prescribed

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of Patient's demographic characteristics [9 months]
- Assessment of Parkinson's disease characteristics [9 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of Severity of the Parkinson Disease (PD) [9 months]
(levels of severity of the disease were defined with the scientific committee in 5 stages: treatment initiation phase, honeymoon phase, therapeutic insufficiency phase, start of motor complications phase and advanced motor complications phase)
- Assessment of Disease Stage Stage according to Hoehn and Yahr and Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale III (UPDRS III) scores [9 months]
- Description of the actual treatments of PD [9 months]
- Evaluation for reasons for choosing pramipexole as treatment [9 months]
- Assessment of Treatment history [9 months]
3 subgroups: Initiation: no antiparkinson treatment before the implementation of pramipexole Switch: at least one dopamine agonist replaced by pramipexole Add on: pramipexole is implemented in addition to the previous treatment
- Evaluation of the state of health perceived by the patient using the questionnaire EQ-5D [9 months]
- Number of patients with adverse events [9 months]
