But facial emotion recognition disorder, one of non-motor symptoms of the disease, reduces quality of life significantly by disrupting social interaction. Facial emotion recognition and discrimination ability is an important part of social interaction. Neuroimaging studies highlight amigdala as the locus of facial emotion recognition disorder in IPD. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between clinical features and impairments in facial emotion recognition and discrimination ability. METHODS: This study involves 41 patients followed with IPD in neurology outpatient clinic and 38 healthy controls. Facial Emotion Identification Test (FEIT) and Facial Emotion Discrimination Test (FEDT) were carried out for both groups. Clinical and demographic features of patient and control groups were recorded. Hoehn-Yahr (H and Y) scale was used for staging of disease and Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) was used for assessment of clinical severity. The results of both groups were compared with Kruskal Wallis and Pearson’s Chi Square tests. RESULTS: Average of FEIT and FEDT in patients with IPD are 12.64±5.55 and 17.84±4.94, respectively. When these values were compared with control group, they were worse than control group (p |
