Parkinson's disease is a complex neurodegenerative disorder with various motor and non-motor manifestations. Over the past decade, treatment has increasingly focused on non-motor symptoms although they cannot always be distinguished from adverse events of dopaminergic drugs and normal ageing, particularly in elderly patients. Among non-motor symptoms, pain has long been associated with reappearance of motor symptoms when the effect of levodopa wears off, and as such has received little attention.
