Zusammenfassung

Das idiopathische Parkinson-Syndrom ist eine Multisystemdegeneration, bei der neben den motorischen Symptomen Akinese, Rigor und Tremor auch eine Vielzahl nichtmotorischer Störungen auftreten, die bisher diagnostisch unzureichend erfasst und in den gängigen Skalen und Scores nicht abgebildet werden. In der internationalen Literatur haben sich das Non-motor Symptoms Questionnaire (NMSQuest) als Patientenfragebogen mit 30 qualitativen Fragen zu den wichtigsten nichtmotorischen Störungen und die Non-motor Symptoms Scale (NMSScale) als graduierte Beurteilungsskala zur Frequenz und Schwere nichtmotorischer Symptome etabliert. Da bisher nur die Originalfassungen in englischer Sprache vorlagen, wurden im deutschsprachigen Raum individuell übersetzte Versionen oder die Erhebungsbögen überhaupt nicht eingesetzt. Wir legen hiermit nach internationalen Standards erstellte interkulturell adaptierte Versionen beider Erhebungsbögen in deutscher Sprache vor.

Summary

Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a multisytem degenerative disorder. In addition to motor symptoms such as akinesia, rigidity and tremor, various non-motor symptoms occur, which are still insufficiently diagnosed. Moreover, the frequently used scales and scores do not adequately detect these non-motor symptoms. The Non-motor Symptoms Questionnaire (NMSQuest) is an established self-completed patient questionnaire with 30 qualitative questions covering all important non-motor symptoms of PD. The Non-motor Symptoms Scale (NMSScale) is a grade rating scale for estimating the frequency and severity of non-motor symptoms in PD. Since there are only original English versions of both questionnaires available, self-translated versions were frequently used or the questionnaires were not used at all in native German patients. We used international guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of questionnaires to provide standard versions of both non-motor symptoms questionnaires in the German language.
