About PDNMG

Parkinson's disease non motor symptoms (NMS) are not well recognised in clinical practice. Part of the reason for this is the lack of any instrument that aims to assess the complex range of NMS of PD in an unified and integrated manner.

The international Parkinson’s Disease Non Motor group (PDNMG) was set up by K Ray Chaudhuri, P Martinez-Martin, AHV Schapira and a group of dedicated neuroscientists who met and felt that the NMS of PD need recognition, awareness and tools for assessment.

The unique feature of this group is its multidisciplinary origin bringing together neurologists, geriatricians, psychologists, sleep experts, nurse specialists, cognitive experts and last but not least, patient group representatives.

Whilst the PDNMG is a separate independent body and not listed as a charity, it does operate with the support of the Parkinson's Disease Society UK (PDS), a registered charity, which provides assistance and guidance to the group from time to time.

PDNMG is supported by educational grants from several pharmaceutical companies which have made some of the pivotal works from the group possible.
