Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to produce and validate an Italian version of the GIDS-PD scale so clinicians and researchers have a reliable tool to measure Parkinson's symptom severity and how those symptoms affect daily life in Italian-speaking patients. The team will translate the questionnaire and then test it in about 190 people, checking that the questions are clear, consistent, and accurately reflect patients' symptoms and function; no drug or device is given because it is an observational validation. Adults 18 and older with Parkinson's diagnosed by the MDS criteria who understand Italian and can give consent are eligible, while people in the terminal phase, with significant cognitive impairment, or with non-PD parkinsonism are excluded.
