Non-motor symptoms scale

The Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) is a tool used by healthcare professionals to assess various non-motor symptoms in conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Non-motor symptoms include issues such as sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety, fatigue, pain, and cognitive changes. The scale helps quantify the severity and frequency of these symptoms across different domains, providing a comprehensive picture of a patient’s total symptom burden. This information assists in tailoring treatment plans and monitoring disease progression, improving overall quality of life for individuals affected by neurodegenerative disorders.
