Abstract
Purpose of Review
Non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are better predictors of quality of life changes, caregiver burden, and mortality than motor symptoms. Levodopa has limited, and sometimes detrimental, effects on these symptoms. In this review, we discuss recent evidence on pharmacological treatments for non-motor symptoms.
Recent Findings
Breakthroughs have been made in the treatment of psychosis and sleep dysfunction. Pimavanserin has become the first FDA approved drug for PD psychosis. There is also new research supporting cholinesterase inhibitors for sleep disorders in PD. Other studies, including several novel treatments, have shown mixed results for apathy, depression, and fatigue.
Summary
Further research is needed to develop treatments for non-motor symptoms in PD. Preclinical and postmortem studies indicate that non-motor symptoms in PD may arise from pathology in non-dopamine systems. Although sometimes used off-label, therapies that target such systems have been underutilized in treating non-motor symptoms and warrant further clinical investigation.

Introduction
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent progressive neurodegenerative disease in the USA, behind only Alzheimer’s [1]. Gold standard therapeutics in PD management are aimed at treating motor symptoms and primarily target canonical dopamine (DA) pathways that deteriorate. However, studies consistently find that the vast majority of PD patients, including those on DA replacement, present with at least one non-motor symptom [2•, 3]. PD patients report an average of four to eight non-motor symptoms, in which these can include sleep disturbances, psychosis, fatigue, depression, memory impairment, urinary problems, sexual dysfunction, and more [2•, 3, 4]. The prevalence of these symptoms in PD remains relatively stable across disease progression and treatment [3], indicating that non-motor symptoms in PD are persistent and poorly addressed by current therapeutic strategies.
Non-motor symptoms, especially mild to moderate symptoms, can be underdiagnosed. Neurologist accuracy ranges from 35 to 60 % for depression, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbances [5]. Even when diagnosed, conventional DA replacement therapies, such as levodopa, have little effect on the burden of the symptoms and in some cases may exacerbate them [2•]. Non-motor symptoms are stronger predictors of poor quality of life and mortality than motor symptoms [4, 6•, 7]. Screening for and appropriately treating non-motor symptoms in PD have the potential to change quality of life and disease burden, for both PD patients and caregivers. With awareness of the impact of non-motor symptoms in PD increasing, questions arise as to the most appropriate treatment strategies for these symptoms. In this article, we briefly review recent advances and empirical evidence for the pharmacological management of some of the most prevalent non-motor symptoms in PD.
Sleep
One of the most commonly reported non-motor symptoms in PD are sleep disturbances [5, 8, 9]. Sleep disturbances produce some of the largest reductions in quality of life [4, 7]. Although often seen as a precursor to PD diagnosis, REM behavior disorder (RBD) co-morbidity remains high in PD patients. Additional sleep disturbances can manifest as restless leg syndrome, nocturia, arm and leg pain, nocturnal motor symptoms, and abnormal sleep architecture [10, 11•, 12–15]. PD patients who self-identify as poor sleepers are also significantly more likely to present additional non-motor symptoms [16, 17]. Neikrug et al. [17] found that PD patients with RBD reported being more depressed and fatigued with additional sensory changes in taste, smell, and unexplained weight change. Higher non-motor symptom loads in addition to RBD may not only underlie poorer quality of life scores but may also indicate a common etiology. Alleviating RBD has potential to improve quality of life scores and may provide benefits to non-motor symptoms across multiple domains for PD patients.
Benzodiazepines such as clonazepam are the standard treatment for primary RBD. Side effects such as falls and drowsiness [18], in addition to warnings for patients with a gait disorder or dementia [19], mean that alternative therapeutic strategies are needed for RBD in PD patients.
DA Agonists
Given its primary approval for PD motor symptoms, rotigotine, more than many treatments, has been tested for treating PD related sleep abnormalities. Rotigotine has shown improvements in sleep efficacy, sleep onset latency, and wakefulness after sleep onset along with reductions in episodes and severity of restless leg syndrome, nocturia, nocturnal motor symptoms, limb pain, and RBD [13–15]. Vallderiola et al. [14] also showed that rotigotine is beneficial for those with more severe sleep disturbances, as patients with higher baseline scores saw larger improvements on multiple sleep scales.
Long-term follow up studies revealed high efficacy and good tolerability in large cohorts of patients [20, 21]. Adverse events to rotigotine were predominantly mild and declined over treatment duration. This contributed to low withdrawal rates over the 6-year study period, demonstrating that rotigotine is a viable long-term strategy to treat sleep disruptions in PD.
Part of the efficacy of rotigotine may be its non-selectivity for DA receptor subtypes or possibly its affinities at other monoaminergic sites implicated in PD. In addition to DA signaling, rotigotine shows function as a serotonin (5-HT) partial agonist and antagonist on ɑ2B-adrenergic receptors [23]. ɑ2B-Adrenergic receptors are highly localized in locus coeruleus [24] which has reduced signal intensities in PD patients with RBD [25].
Concerns and need for alternatives arise for those who are resistant to rotigotine or those that develop side effects such as impulse control disorders. As with all DA replacements, there is potential risk of impulse control issues, although rotigotine has reduced risk compared to other DA agonists [22]. There are, however, varieties of alternative treatments for refractory sleep symptoms that highlight the multifactorial nature of this non-motor symptoms in PD.
Other Monoaminergic Targets—Tricyclic Antidepressants and Melatonin
The prevalence and persistence of sleep disturbances in PD patients, including those with good management of motor symptoms, highlight involvement of non-DA systems in PD. Other monoamines, particularly 5-HT and norepinephrine (NE), are critical regulators of arousal, and PD patients show disruptions in circadian function from early in disease progression [16]. Tricyclic antidepressants prevent reuptake of monoamines, with particular affinity for 5-HT and NE transporters. A small cohort of PD patients treated with the tricyclic doxepin showed improvements on multiple sleep scales including the Insomnia Severity Index, SCOPA-night score, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-sleep disturbance subscale over 6 weeks [26]. In addition, doxepin shows potent antihistamine activity which may contribute to its effective treatment of sleep disturbances [27].
Melatonin is another circadian monoamine that is reduced in PD patients, particularly those that exhibit excessive daytime sleepiness [28]. In 2011, evidence for treatment of insomnia in PD with melatonin was deemed to be insufficient by the Movement Disorders Society Task Force [29]. More recently, a small study of 35 PD patients showed that ramelteon, a selective melatonin agonist, generated improvements in multiple aspects of sleep such as sleep latency, quality, use of sleep medication, and overall PD sleep scale version 2 score [18]. Ramelteon did not show any detrimental effects to activities of daily living or cognitive function. In light of this and other recent studies on melatonin disruption in PD, melatonin supplementation and/or melatonin agonists may warrant additional investigation for treating PD related sleep disorders.
REM Sleep and Acetylcholine
RBD is the most common type of sleep disruption in PD, and REM sleep is strongly linked to cholinergic function. Brainstem cholinergic pathways degenerate in PD [30], and a breakdown in cholinergic signaling has been associated with RBD in PD patients [31]. In preclinical studies, stimulation of brainstem cholinergic populations known to be impaired in PD drives immediate transitions to REM sleep and also reduces dyskinesia in parkinsonian models [32, 33]. Currently available cholinesterase inhibitors such as rivastigmine seem to be useful for treating refractory RBD in PD patients. In a double blind crossover trial, rivastigmine alleviated RBD in PD patients who were resistant to both melatonin and clonazepam [11•]. It should be noted that while evidence is promising for the use of rivastigmine, its use may be limited to cases of RBD rather than other sleep disturbances.
Alternative Pharmacotherapies—Xyrem
Sodium oxybate (Xyrem) improves sleep consolidation in narcolepsy [34]. In PD patients, off-label studies of Xyrem have shown increases in slow wave sleep with decreases in nighttime and daytime sleep problems as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [35]. Furthermore, more recent reports on individual patients show that Xyrem is also efficacious in the treatment of refractory RBD in patients with PD [36, 37].
The mechanism by which Xyrem exerts beneficial effects on sleep disturbances in PD is unknown, and further trials are needed to confirm previous findings. Previous studies in patients with narcolepsy and/or cataplexy suggests that it has the ability to modify sleep architecture [38]. Despite the absence of a specific molecular target, Xyrem is FDA approved to treat narcolepsy and excessive daytime sleepiness.
Psychosis
Psychosis is one of the most debilitating non-motor symptoms of PD. Psychosis can not only occur as part of PD with dementia but can also be triggered by medications used to treat motor symptoms [39]. Not surprisingly, studies show significant variability in the prevalence of hallucinations and delusions as well as other psychotic symptoms in PD ranging from <15 to over 70 % [9, 40–42]. Psychotic symptoms, particularly hallucinations and delusions, often co-occur with increased depressive symptoms and are associated with worse quality of life [40]. The presence of ongoing psychosis in PD is a strong negative predictor of survival and an indicator for increased medical costs and long term care needs [6•, 43]. Much of the burdens that are due to a paucity of options for treating psychosis in PD given traditional antipsychotics are contraindicated. Atypical antipsychotics show some benefits but can worsen motor symptoms. The mainstream approach to treating psychosis in PD has been to reduce DA replacement or anticholinergic therapies which, in some cases, leads to reemergence of motor impairments [39, 44]. However, a novel atypical antipsychotic compound, pimavanserin, recently passed expedited approval by the FDA in 2016 and is showing particular promise.
Selective 5-HT2A Inverse Agonist—Pimavanserin
Pimavanserin is a selective 5-HT2A inverse agonist which became the first FDA approved drug for the treatment of psychosis in PD following a promising phase III trial of 185 patients that strengthened previous findings [45•]. Over a 6-week period, pimavanserin showed significant improvements on several Parkinson’s disease-adapted scales for positive symptoms of psychosis. Caregivers reported a reduced burden, while patients reported additional improvements in sleep and daytime wakefulness [45•, 46]. Improvements were dramatic, with the number of patients showing more than 20 % reduction in psychosis scores with no change in motor symptom severity. Treatment was effective regardless of age, sex, and mini-mental state exam scores.
Unfortunately, many positive symptoms scales are not sensitive to the minor psychotic symptoms evident in PD psychosis [47] that affects up to 72 % of patients [42]. Another concern for pimavanserin trials are the relatively short follow up times. In a study by Mack et al. [40], the duration of minor psychotic symptoms in PD patients was 85.2 ± 71.4 weeks, and the duration of hallucinations and delusions was 173.8 ± 152.7 weeks. Both the phase II and III trials used follow-up times of less than 10 weeks [45•, 46]. The beneficial effects of pimavanserin in PD patients with psychosis of a longer duration have yet to be determined.
Pimavanserin demonstrates a high specificity toward 5-HT2A receptors and lower affinity for other monoaminergic receptors [48]. Clozapine, a 5-HT2A antagonist with limited D2 binding and extrapyramidal side effects [49], was rated as efficacious for the treatment of PD psychosis by the Movement Disorders Society Task Force [29] based on older studies. Prior success with clozapine and new evidence from pimavanserin identifies 5-HT2A function as a specific target for further pharmaceutical development in PD psychosis. Additional support comes from PET studies in which PD patients with visual hallucinations show increased 5-HT2A receptor binding in visual pathways [50].
Further insight into future treatments for PD psychosis may come from treatments for PD related sleep dysfunction such as RBD. PD patients who present with RBD or probable RBD are at an increased risk for developing PD psychosis [41, 42]. The common factor linking PD psychosis and sleep disturbances has yet to be determined, although degeneration of brainstem cholinergic populations (pedunculopontine and laterodorsal tegmental nuclei) that receive strong 5-HT innervation are a prime candidate. Cholinesterase inhibitors including rivastigmine are effective at alleviating RBD and may have added benefits in treating PD psychosis, as do reductions of anticholinergic treatment [11•, 44]. Targeting co-morbid RBD may benefit patients with PD psychosis, including minor psychotic presentations. Future research should focus on additional treatments for common minor psychotic presentations and performing long-term follow-ups on pimavanserin and other 5-HT2A-directed treatments.
Fatigue
Fatigue was voted as the symptom most in need of further research by patients attending the 2013 World Parkinson’s Congress [51], and despite efforts to uncover a specific pathology, fatigue is not fully understood and there are few effective treatment options. Most studies find that fatigue affects 40 % or more of PD patients and is one of the most underdiagnosed non-motor symptoms in PD [5, 52, 53]. PD patients report higher overall fatigue and increased symptoms on various subscales such as general fatigue, physical fatigue, and mental fatigue compared to age-matched peers [54]. Fatigue is associated with a higher burden of non-motor symptoms and worse health-related quality of life [2•, 52]. Some risk factors for fatigue include depression, higher levodopa dose, and advanced disease stage and duration [52, 53]. Despite evidence that mental and physical fatigue manifest separately in PD [54], there are few studies that have attempted to define or treat the two independently.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
Rasagiline is an irreversible monoamine oxidase B inhibitor that is often used in PD patients alone or as an adjunct. Recent studies assessing the effect of rasagiline on fatigue in PD have been mixed. One study found that co-treatment with rasagiline and antidepressants resulted in significantly less progression of fatigue compared to placebo and noted no evidence for serotonin syndrome [55]. Specific antidepressants paired with rasagiline included selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), amitriptyline, and trazodone hydrochloride. Another study found a similar result with rasagiline monotherapy, where fatigue symptoms stabilized but did not improve, suggesting that beneficial effects of rasagiline are independent of antidepressant use [56]. Compared to rasagiline, the placebo group saw significant worsening of 15 out of 16 items of the Parkinson’s Disease Fatigue Scale. A third study found that 12 weeks of rasagiline treatment improved multiple fatigue scales including the Fatigue Severity Scale, Modified Fatigue Impact Scale, and Objective Physical and Mental Fatigue Testing. Although a number of studies have investigated rasagiline to treat fatigue in PD, most evidence implies that rasagiline does not improve fatigue symptoms but maintains them, suggesting the need for alternative treatments.
Deficiencies in 5-HT availability in the basal ganglia and limbic areas of the brain may play a role in PD fatigue [57]. Serotonergic neurons of the dorsal raphe that express monoamine oxidase A and B mRNA send projections to the basal ganglia [58]. This warrants additional research into monoamine oxidase A inhibitors or SSRIs for the treatment of PD fatigue. Serotonergic targeting strategies may provide relief for depression and anxiety [59], in addition to fatigue, although care should be taken in patients at risk for psychosis.
Adenosine Antagonists
A recent small study tested the adenosine antagonist istradefylline in 40 patients with moderate to severe PD for 8 weeks. There was a significant improvement on the Fatigue Severity Scale in addition to a significant improvement to patient and caregiver quality of life [60]. Istradefylline was previously denied FDA approval as an adjunctive PD treatment, although it is approved in some countries for this purpose [61]. Istradefylline represents a novel target in the treatment of PD fatigue. Istradefylline is a competitive antagonist that selectively binds adenosine A2A receptors more favorably than other adenosine receptors [62]. Caffeine, another adenosine antagonist, is thought to promote wakefulness by affecting A2A receptors specifically in the nucleus accumbens shell but not the core [63]. Despite primary DA innervation from the relatively spared ventral tegmental area neurons, the accumbens shows reduced DA levels in PD patients [64]. Adenosine blockades caused by caffeine increase DA release, which may reduce fatigue and have added benefits in PD, such as reductions in dyskinesia [65]. A newer adenosine antagonist, JNJ-40255293, shows similar binding occupancy to istradefylline at adenosine A2 receptors in rodent models while also showing lower relative affinity for adenosine A1 receptors [66]. Based on its binding profile and clinical effects of other adenosine antagonists, JNJ-40255293 may help alleviate fatigue in PD patients in a similar manner to istradefylline and caffeine. Whether selective adenosine antagonists potentially share the disease modifying or neuroprotective benefits in PD that have been attributed to caffeine is yet to be determined [67].
Apathy
Apathy is present in 18 to 54 % of PD patients, and multiple studies find that apathy is commonly concomitant with depression, with published rates between 28 and 43 % [68–70]. Despite overlapping symptoms between apathy and depression, they are clinically and pathologically distinct constructs. Apathy is associated with higher levodopa dosage at earlier Hoehn and Yahr stages [69]. Although apathy has limited impact on quality of life, it remains an important non-motor symptom because apathetic PD patients have increased motor and cognitive impairments [68, 70]. Apathy has also been linked with other non-motor symptoms such as fatigue and hallucinations [70]. In animal models, apathy and anhedonia can be generated by selective lesions of substantia nigra pars compacta [71], indicating that apathy is a core DA based symptom of PD unlike most other non-motor symptoms. Furthermore, non-pharmacological PD treatments such as deep brain stimulation that allows reductions of DA replacement can precipitate apathy [72].
DA Agonists
As apathy can result from insufficient DA replacement therapy, DA agonists are a first-line therapy for the treatment of apathy in PD. Although there are no FDA approved treatment specifically for apathy in PD, DA agonists have long shown safety and efficacy in treating PD motor symptoms. In a post hoc analysis of the RECOVER study, patients treated with rotigotine showed significant improvement in the mood/apathy domain of the non-motor symptom scale [73]. Apathy-related items including “lost interest in surroundings” and “lost interest in doing things” showed the greatest effect sizes. A more recent investigation of rotigotine showed no effect on apathy as rated by patients or caregivers, despite some improvements in clinical apathy scores [74]. This may signal difficulties in patients’ ability to accurately qualify their apathetic status and subsequent changes.
In preclinical animal models, pramipexole reversed motivational deficits, which returned upon cessation [75]. A large study of non-demented PD patients tested pramipexole as a mono or adjunctive therapy and saw an improvement in apathy on the Neuropsychiatric Inventory [76].
One of the most effective DA agonist treatments, piribedil, was utilized in a 12-week study of apathy after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation [72]. Piribedil reduced apathy scores by 34.6 % compared to a 3.2 % reduction in the placebo group. Apathy was deemed to have disappeared in 47.4 % of patients on piribedil compared to 16.7 % of patients in the placebo group with results typically occurring within the first 6 weeks of treatment. Piribedil can also improve cognition in older individuals [77], potentially leading to additional benefits when used for the treatment of apathy in PD.
Piribedil shows ɑ2 antagonist activity in addition to functioning as a partial agonist at D2 and D3 receptors [78]. Apathy scores are inversely correlated to the binding potential of DA and NE in the ventral striatum [79]. Other DA agonists that have less selective binding profiles or do not target both catecholamine systems appear to be less effective in treating apathy in PD.
Cholinesterase Inhibitors
Apathetic patients without depression have an increased risk of cognitive decline and development of dementia [80]. Cognitive decline has been linked with forebrain cholinergic loss and decreased cortical choline acetyltransferase [81]. Therefore, apathy may be an early sign of cholinergic pathway breakdown and signal the onset of cognitive decline in PD patients. In preclinical studies, cholinergic interneurons in the striatum have been shown to regulate DA signaling and motivation [82]. A cholinesterase inhibitor such as rivastigmine could be a novel strategy in the treatment of apathy and may help offset these cholinergic deficits.
In a 6-month trial on dementia and depression-free, apathetic PD patients, rivastigmine decreased apathy scores [83], specifically in the domains of intellectual curiosity and action initiation. By the end of the trial, only 37 % of patients treated with rivastigmine were categorized as apathetic compared to 83 % of placebo patients. An extension of this study showed significant improvements in apathy after the original placebo group initiated rivastigmine treatment. However, benefits were not maintained over a 12-month continuation period in the original treatment group, demonstrating transient benefits.
Depression
Depression is a problematic and underdiagnosed non-motor symptom in PD, significantly impacting patient health related quality of life and symptom burden [2•, 3, 4]. Around half of all PD patients report depressive symptoms; rates of major depressive disorder in PD are around 17 %, while minor depression is around 22 % and dysthymia 13 % [84]. Even after initial treatment, as many as 47 % of PD patients will still meet the criteria for depression [85]. Despite a medical need, few patients are prescribed the highest recommended doses of antidepressants and as few as one third will try more than one antidepressant [85]. Therapeutic approaches to alleviate the burden of depression are essential, as depression is the best predictor of poor compliance in PD patients [86]. Compliance in PD is startling, with one fifth of patients showing less than 80 % compliance. Additionally, as low as 3 % of patients show compliance for drugs prescribed twice or more per day [87]. Dopamine-based treatments such as pergolide [88] and rasagiline monotherapies [89] have been ineffective in treating PD depression, indicating the involvement of non-DA systems in the pathophysiology of PD depression. Effectively treating depression in PD may enhance patient compliance for other medications, in turn facilitating better overall treatment and reduced symptom burdens.
Canonical Antidepressants
Recently, there have been mixed reviews of antidepressants to treat depression in PD. SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants are used as a first line therapy for PD depression [90]. Several large-scale meta-analyses have shown that tricyclic antidepressants are significantly more effective at treating co-morbid PD depression than SSRIs or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) [91, 92]. This may be due to additional benefits of tricyclics on other non-motor symptoms like sleep disturbances, discussed above. However, a number of new studies provide increasing evidence for effective treatment with SSRIs or SNRIs [93].
Recent studies of paroxetine (SSRI) and venlafaxine (SNRI) treatment led to significant improvements on several rating scales [94]. More patients in the treatment groups met the criteria for responsiveness to treatment and remission compared to the placebo; additionally, no worsening of PD motor symptoms were found. A secondary regression revealed that higher baseline Hamilton depression scores, lower anxiety scores, and lower Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale section III scores were significant predictors of improved Hamilton scores by the end of the study [95]. This may indicate that patients with mood dominant early PD are particularly responsive to targeted therapies. Another study specifically investigated three domains of depression, namely affective, somatic, and cognitive, alongside their timetable for improvement while on paroxetine or venlafaxine [96]. Improvements were seen in all three domains, with the affective domain showing the earliest treatment-by-time interaction after week 4. The somatic domain showed after week 6 and the cognitive domain after week 8.
NE function is also linked to depression, and depressed PD patients have decreased noradrenergic innervation of limbic regions [79]. However, studies with selective NE reuptake inhibitors such as reboxetine and atomoxetine did not show clear benefits [97, 98]. Recent successes with mixed serotonin and noradrenergic reuptake inhibitors indicate that further exploration of noradrenergic involvement in PD depression may be warranted.
Conclusion
We have covered new evidence for pharmacological treatments of some of the most common non-motor symptoms that occur in PD. Recent advances have been made in the treatment of sleep disturbances and psychosis. Still, other symptoms such as depression and fatigue have few new treatment options. Many non-motor symptoms not covered here including executive dysfunction, memory, pain, hyposmia, and gastrointestinal dysfunction are problematic and also have limited therapeutic options.
The development of pharmaceutical approaches for non-motor symptoms in PD has been influenced by the precedent of PD as a dopaminergic motor disease. Some common non-motor symptoms like psychosis can be consequences of DA replacement, although most are not. Most non-motor symptoms are present when patients are receiving ongoing DA therapy. Additional DA-based treatments have been tested for a large number of non-motor symptoms, with unsurprisingly limited success. Preclinical and neuropathological evidence has made clear that non-DA systems are significantly affected. Yet clinical assessment of non-DA-targeted therapeutics for non-motor symptoms is underinvestigated. Recent successes of cholinergic and serotonergic-based treatments have led to new therapies for sleep disruption and psychosis in PD. Further investigation of pharmaceuticals that target modulatory disruptions to adrenergic, serotonergic, and cholinergic nuclei in PD may be particularly important for non-motor symptoms.
Because of the breadth of non-motor symptoms in PD, therapeutic developments may be expedited by grouping non-motor presentations into PD subtypes. Sauerbier et al. [99] argue that non-motor subtyping would enhance patient recruitment, clinical design, and treatment of PD despite some overlap between non-motor subtypes. Subtype specific treatments may identify related non-motor symptoms and effective new treatments across multiple domains. Streamlining treatments could result in the need for fewer drugs to manage PD symptoms which would have positive impacts on medication adherence [87] and economic burden [100].
Non-motor symptoms remain problematic in PD and have profound impacts on survival rates, economic burden, and quality of life for patients and caregivers. Given the growing public health burden of age related diseases like PD, future research should prioritize the development of therapeutics for untreated non-motor symptoms using neuropathological and preclinical evidence to expand the range of pharmaceutical targets.
