Results: A total of 50 IPD patients were analyzed. Analysis by NMS part of MDS-UPDRS (Part I) showed that NMS was present in 99.7% of patients. NMS part score was positively correlated with H&Y stages and total motor scores of MDS-UPDRS (part II-III). The most common symptoms were pain (84%), daytime sleepiness (78%), and urinary problems (76%). Significantly, there was an association between motor impairment, H&Y, and the following NMS items; hallucinations/psychosis, depressed mood, daytime sleepiness, urinary problems, constipation, light-headedness on standing, and fatigue (p
