Parkinson's disease (PD) has been associated with peripheral neuropathy (PN). PN has been demonstrated in some rare genetic forms of PD (e.g. PARK2 mutations) but has also been linked to levodopa exposure. ⋯ Large-scale prospective studies with long-term follow-up with detailed baseline assessments are needed in order to understand the natural history of PN in PD, both on clinical and neurophysiological parameters.
