Dyskinesia and OFF Episodes
Getting the conversation going about motor complications
Managing dyskinesia and off time begins with a discussion among you, your patient, and their care partner.
Your patients may be more comfortable talking about OFF time than dyskinesia. However, both dyskinesia and OFF time continue to impact their daily lives and they may be making a trade off for one vs the other. Keep in mind that your patients may:
- Downplay their dyskinesia to avoid OFF time
- Not realize the impact of their dyskinesia or OFF time
- Believe dyskinesia is just a sign of disease progression
- Assume there are no dyskinesia treatment options
- Not understand the effects of their OFF episodes
Your patients may not always be forthcoming about the difficulties they face with dyskinesia and OFF time. There are many reasons for this behavior.
The following may indicate that your patients struggle with dyskinesia and OFF time:
- They make comments that imply compromise or settling
- Describing unpredictable episodes of dyskinesia, ON, and OFF time
- Referring to ON time negatively
- An increase in "accident prone" behaviors
- Difficulties with activities or hobbies
- Feeling embarrassed in social situations
- Care partner makes comments about movement control
- Difficulties at work
