Official study title

Picture-based Neuropsychiatric Syndromes Questionnaire (Pic-NPS): Development and Validation of a non-verbal screening tool to detect neuropsychiatric syndromes in neurological and psychiatric disorders - Pic-NPS

Short title used by the registry

Original description

Intervention: Group 1: The screening instrument ist aimed at neurological and psychiatric patients. Since neuropsychiatric syndromes are particularly common in patients with Parkinson's disease we aim to validate the questionnaires also specifically in patients with Parkinson's disease (as part of a subgroup of the neurological cohort). Primary outcome: The aim of the study is to develop and validate a new, multidimensional screening instrument (Picture-based Neuropsychiatric Syndromes Questionnaire; Pic-NPS) for the mainly speech-free recording of depression, anxiety, apathy, fatigue, mania, impulse control disorders and psychosis in neurological and psychiatric patients (including healthy controls). The current version of the screening instrument comprises 31 items (6 items for depression, 5 items for mania, 5 items for impulse control disorders, 4 items for anxiety, 3 items for fatigue, 3 items for apathy, 5 items for psychosis). The assessment time is approximately 10 minutes. Another aim is the validation of a newly developed language-based screening questionnaire (Neuropsychiatric Syndromes Questionnaire; NPSQ) for the assessment of neuropsychiatric syndromes in patients with Parkinson's disease. Secondary outcome: Correlations of the new screening tool with established questionnaires Determination of cut-off values for the Pic-NPS und NPSQ subscales through assessment of neuropsychiatric syndromes via interview

Conditions reported: G20;Parkinson disease
