This Parkinson’s pain study is investigating:
- the characteristics of pain symptoms in people with Parkinson’s; and
- the practices of people with Parkinson’s in the management of pain.
It is expected that this research project will result in:
- a comprehensive profile of pain experienced by people with Parkinson’s;
- a deeper understanding of the needs of people with Parkinson’s in the management of pain symptoms; and
- a set of patient centred recommendations that advances the provision of pain care services in Australia.
Who can participate?
Persons that:
- have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s;
- have experienced pain symptoms in the past month;
- are an Australian citizen or permanent resident currently living in Australia; and
- are aged 18 years or older.
What does participation involve?
