Clinical Characteristics of Parkinson's Disease Associated with Dental Treatment Pain

Etenildo Dantas Cabral authored a study investigating the association between Parkinson's disease clinical characteristics and dental treatment pain intensity. The research involved a consecutive sample of 70 patients with Parkinson's disease, in which 217 invasive dental procedures were performed. Clinical data includes PD duration, stage, cognitive deficit, depression, motor impairment, and sensory symptoms, with pain measured on a Numerical Pain Scale.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between cognitive impairment and dental treatment pain based on the Mini Mental State Examination scores mentioned in the description
• Investigating the association between sensory symptoms like numbness and burning and reported pain levels based on patient questionnaires
• Modeling pain intensity during dental procedures based on non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease as described in the study

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a sample of 70 patients with Parkinson's disease
• Study collected data from 217 invasive dental procedures
• Pain was measured using a standardized Numerical Pain Scale ranging from 0 to 10

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
