Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar el perfil de síntomas no motores en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson. Métodos: Estudio observacional cuantitativo transversal con 53 pacientes de ambos sexos y edades entre 43 y 85 años, evaluados mediante un cuestionario sobre síntomas no motores de la enfermedad de Parkinson, incluyendo disfagia, disfonía, disosmia, disacusia, desequilibrio, alteraciones del habla y del lenguaje, trastornos del sueño y déficit cognitivo, y mediante escalas estandarizadas (Escala de Hoehn y Yahr y Escala de Somnolencia de Epworth). Resultados: Hubo predominio del sexo femenino (64,2%), con 67,9% de los pacientes con edad ≥60 años y 94,3% alfabetizados. La duración media de los síntomas fue de 5,5 años, con prevalencia de trastornos del sueño (86,8%), disfagia (75,5%), trastornos del habla (66%), alteraciones del lenguaje (41%), disacusia (34%) y alteraciones del equilibrio (36,5%), así como complicaciones nutricionales y cognitivas. El análisis estadístico indicó distribución no normal de las puntuaciones de somnolencia y progresión de la enfermedad, sin correlación significativa entre la gravedad motora y la somnolencia diurna. Conclusión: Los síntomas no motores de la enfermedad de Parkinson son prevalentes, aumentando morbilidad de la enfermedad y reduciendo calidad de vida. Este conocimiento es importante para manejo individualizado y rehabilitación de esta población.
