Summary
The PD Questionnaire (PDQ) is a self-administered and standardized questionnaire with 15-items created for the intralesional collagenase trials (IMPRESS I and II). It has proven to be highly responsive to symptom changes in men with PD, making it a valuable and effective tool for clinical practice and research. PDQ evaluates symptoms and psychological effects in patients with PD who have had vaginal intercourse within the last 3 months, considering the most recent sexual experience when completing the questionnaire.
