多巴胺受体激动剂治疗可以识别过度赌博，但其患病率尚不清楚。我们评估了过度赌博的患病率，具体的前瞻性调查帕金森病患者参加西苏格兰运动障碍诊所。在388名服用抗帕金森药物的患者中，17名（4.4%）出现病理性赌博，所有这些患者都服用了多巴胺受体激动剂。因此，服用多巴胺受体激动剂的患者中有8%患有病态赌博。病理性赌博并不罕见，患者应了解这种潜在的不良影响。(C)2006年，《社会运动》创刊。
Excessive gambling is recognized with dopamine agonist therapy, but the prevalence is unknown. We assessed the prevalence of excess gambling by specific prospective enquiry in Parkinson's disease patients attending six West Scotland movement disorder clinics. Of 388 patients taking anti-Parkinson medication, 17 (4.4%) developed pathological gambling, all of whom were prescribed dopamine agonists. Thus, 8% of patients taking dopamine agonists had pathological gambling. Pathological gambling is not uncommon, and patients should be made aware of this potential adverse effect.
