Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this PMS study is the evaluation of depressive symptoms measured with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part I (mentation, behavior and mood) and with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Depression Subscore (HADS-D) under pramipexole treatment in early and advanced PD patients. In addition it will be investigated whether improvement of depressive symptoms is linked to improvement in motor function (UPDRS Part III). 250 patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) will be investigated by 80 specialists (neurologists or neurologists/psychiatrists) across Austria. Pramipexole will be taken orally at an initial dosage of 0.375 mg/day (using a three times daily schedule independently of food intake) and can be titrated upwards, as required, at weekly intervals to a maximum total daily dose of 4,5 mg (TID) as per Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC).
