Abstract
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive and disabling movement disorder. Patients with Parkinson’s Disease present with a multitude of chronic pain syndromes including back pain that is difficult to manage. Postural abnormalities and increased muscle tone common in Parkinson's disease may be one cause of back pain. Non-radicular back pain can be a major factor in disability among patients in this group. The disease itself can lead to stiffness in muscles supporting the back and trunk and this disorder can also cause dystonia. Both rigidity and dystonia can be hard to manage while patients are taking medications to treat their Parkinson’s disease, and pain management in these patients can be complex and challenging.
