MY PD-CARE

A Simple Way to Track Your Symptoms

Developed by AbbVie, Inc. in collaboration with key stakeholders—including advocacy organizations and an international group of movement disorder specialists—MY PD-CARE is designed to help you track changes in your Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms. By making it easier to communicate these changes with your healthcare provider, MY PD-CARE supports more informed discussions and empowers you to seek optimal care for your symptoms. It is also available in Spanish to better serve patients and care partners who prefer to communicate in their native language.

How it Works

  • Complete the questionnaire, which takes about 5 minutes.
  • Fill it out before your visit or while waiting in the doctor’s office.
  • After completion, you’ll receive a summary to guide discussions with your Parkinson’s specialist.
  • Your provider also has access to MANAGE-PD, a related clinical tool for further symptom assessment.

What to Expect

  • Example questions include:
    • How many times a day do you take oral levodopa pills?
    • Do you experience random fluctuations in motor symptoms with your current oral treatment?
  • To make it easier, the questionnaire includes definitions and explanations of common Parkinson’s terms used by healthcare providers.
