There are several scales out there for rating dyskinesias. Will inclusion criteria require that the scales have been field tested (Piloted)?
Another question: almost every patient diary or anecdotal noteso that Ive seen in clinical trial study rates dyskinnesia presence.
for example, many patient diaries are stated like this:
ON/with dyskinesia
ON/without dyskinesia
OFF/with dyskinesia
OFF/without dyskinesia
I suppose this has been included to sort of report whether not new treatments show side effects of dyskinesias.
Final question: Patient diaries are usually completed by (surprise!) patients. Wouldn't there be a lot of subjective data if what the doctor sees as dyskinesia, the patient does not?
