Vagus nerve cross-sectional area in patients with Parkinson’s Disease – an ultrasound case-control study

2021-02-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Vagal parasympathetic neurons are prone to degeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD). High-resolution ultrasound can precisely estimate the cross-sectional area (CSA) of peripheral nerves. Here, we tested the hypothesis that vagus CSA is reduced in PD. <h4>Methods</h4> We included 56 healthy controls (HCs) and 63 patients with PD. Using a high-end ultrasound system equipped with a high-frequency...
