Abstract
The Distress Thermometer (DT) has been validated across various medical conditions, but no studies have investigated its performance in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, the authors aimed to determine if the DT is valid and reliable in a sample of participants with PD recruited from a movement disorder clinic. Use of a tool such as the DT allows staff to identify and address the most distressing symptoms and refer patients on for specialist input when needed.
