Due to illness itself and to therapy secondary effects, there is a high risk for these patients to develop impulse control disorders like ICDs: compulsive shopping, pathological gambling binge eating disorder, and hypersexuality. There is high interest in therapy so as to diminish, as much as possible, the associated ICD symptoms. This article presents a study on pharmacological treatment of impulse control disorders in Parkinson disease carried on a sample of patients in hospitals where the authors have their clinical work. This study was carried on for a period of 6 years and is focused on research of different treatment plans. The patients were evaluated by the Hamilton Rating Scale. Statistical analysis of the obtained data (given by the HAM-A scores) is used for data processing. All patients showed a reduction in their impulse behavior. The directions of further research development are mentioned.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13226708","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,8]],"date-time":"2024-11-08T04:02:54Z","timestamp":1731038574000},"page":"6708","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Study on Pharmacological Treatment of Impulse Control Disorders in Parkinson\u2019s Disease"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Emilia","family":"Furdu-Lungu\u021b","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cTitu Maiorescu\u201d University, 031593 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Neurology, CF2 Clinical Hospital, 011464 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Antal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2gether NHS Foundation Trust for Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire GL3 4AW, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0208-4052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suzana","family":"Turcu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cFrancisc I.
