The Parkinson’s disease (PD)-specific Parkinson Anxiety Scale (PAS) is an anxiety rating scale that has been validated in cross-sectional studies. In a study of buspirone for anxiety in PD, it appears that the PAS may be sensitive to change in anxiety demonstrating moderate-to-high correlation with participant-reported and clinician-administered scales.
