Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) negatively affects patients' Quality of Life (QoL) which depends on both objective criteria such as physical health and subjective ones such as worries and norms according to personal believes. Therefore, QoL could be also associated to personality dimensions in chronic neurological diseases such as PD. Objective: Our objective was thus to study the potential association between personality dimensions and QoL in PD patients with motor fluctuations before Deep Brain Stimulation of the Sub-Thalamic Nucleus (DBS-STN). Methods: Data were obtained from the French multicentric cohort study Predi-Stim. All PD patients awaiting DBS-STN and responding to the inclusion criteria at the time of the study were included. All participants answered the "Temperament and Character Inventory" (TCI) and the PDQ-39 before surgery. Analyses were made using adjusted univariate generalized linear regression models to evaluate a potential association between TCI dimensions and PDQ-39 scores. Results: Three hundred thirty-three consecutive patients were included. The temperament Harm Avoidance was negatively associated with QoL (p = 1e-4, R2= 0.33), whereas the character Self-Directedness was positively associated with mental component of QoL (p = 2e-4, R2= 0.33) in PD patients with motor fluctuations awaiting DBS-STN. Conclusions: PD patients with motor fluctuations, with lower Harm Avoidance and higher Self-Directedness scores have the best QoL mainly at an emotional and social level. Therapeutic education of these PD patients focusing on their personal resources may thus be important to improve their well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
