Comment on The association between pain and impulse control behaviours in Parkinson's disease

The recent paper by Kobylecki et al. explored the association between impulse control behaviours and pain in Parkinson's disease, under the hypothesis of shared mesolimbic dysfunction. We discuss cognitive and motivational disturbances as potential covariates and suggest the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as a therapeutic target for this pain-predominant symptom subtype.
