The significant findings in this study were (i) the lower frequency of ICDs (7%); (ii) the common occurrence of compulsive shopping, punding/hobbyism, and compulsive eating; and (iii) the development of ICDs under relatively lower doses of pramipexole. We suggest that ICDs in Parkinson's disease should be associated with a personal trait with dopamine agonists, and potential electrophysiological or genetic markers of this trait warrant further analysis to avoid treatment in these patients.
