A Model of Hospital-Territory Management Coordinated by a Case Manager to Improve the Care of Patients With Parkinsonism.
Sponsor: Fondazione I.R.C.C.S. Istituto Neurologico Carlo Besta
Summary
The present multicenter randomized study investigates whether the management of patients with parkinsonism by a nurse specialist (case-manager) can significantly improve patients' quality of life over 12 months, compared to control patients managed with the standard-of-care process. Participants will be evaluated with clinical scales testing quality of life, motor and non-motor symptoms, and the number of unscheduled hospital access throughout the course of the study.
