Abstract

Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are a well-known adverse effect of dopamine agonists (DAAs). This critical review aims to summarize data on the prevalence and factors associated with the development of an ICD simultaneous to DAA use. A search of two electronic databases was completed from inception to July 2017. The search terms were medical subject headings (MeSH) terms including “dopamine agonists” AND “disruptive disorders”, “impulse control disorders”, or “conduct disorders”. Articles had to fulfill the following criteria to be included: (i) the target problem was an ICD; (ii) the medication was a dopaminergic drug; and (iii) the article was an original article. Of the potential 584 articles, 90 met the criteria for inclusion. DAAs were used in Parkinson’s disease (PD), restless legs syndrome (RLS) or prolactinoma. The prevalence of ICDs ranged from 2.6 to 34.8% in PD patients, reaching higher rates in specific PD populations; a lower prevalence was found in RLS patients. We found only two studies about prolactinoma. The most robust findings relative to the factors associated with the development of an ICD included the type of DAA, the dosage, male gender, a younger age, a history of psychiatric symptoms, an earlier onset of disease, a longer disease duration, and motor complications in PD. This review suggests that DAA use is associated with an increased risk in the occurrence of an ICD, under the combined influence of various factors. Guidelines to help prevent and to treat ICDs when required do exist, although further studies are required to better identify patients with a predisposition.

Key Points

The use of dopamine agonists could contribute to the development of impulse control disorders (ICDs).
We need to consider ICDs as multifactorial disorders, involving drug-, patient-, and disease-related factors.

Introduction

Dopamine and Dopaminergic Pathways in the Central Nervous System

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is particularly important as it is involved in both everyday brain functioning (such as the control of motor function, motivation, and reinforcement learning) and in several common disorders of brain functioning, notably Parkinson’s disease (PD), drug dependence, and certain endocrine disorders [1]. Three main dopaminergic pathways are described in the central nervous system (CNS): (i) the nigrostriatal pathway consisting of cell bodies in the substantia nigra whose axons terminate in the corpus striatum; (ii) the mesocorticolimbic pathway (also known as the reward system), whose cell bodies are situated in the ventral tegmental area and whose axons project to parts of the limbic system, in particular the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and the amygdaloid nucleus, and to the frontal cortex; and (iii) the tuberoinfundibular pathway, whose cell bodies are found in the ventral hypothalamus and project to the median eminence and pituitary gland [1]. The first pathway is particularly involved in motor function, while the second pathway is especially implicated in reward- and aversion-related cognition as well as executive functions. The third pathway influences the secretion of certain hormones, including prolactin. The impairment of these different pathways leads to a variety of disorders, ranging from important motor deficits (as is the case in PD) to the compulsive repetition of rewarding behavior (as is the case in addictive disorders and ICDs).

Dopamine Agonists

Dopamine agonists (DAAs) represent a pharmacological class of drugs that act on the nervous system. The following molecules are all DAAs: bromocriptine, pergolide, piribedil, lisuride, cabergoline, pramipexole, ropinirole, rotigotine, and apomorphine. The main indication of this class of drug is PD. Bromocriptine, pergolide, piribedil, and cabergoline exhibit a slight selectivity for dopamine D2/3 over D1 receptors. Lisuride acts specifically on D2 receptors. The use of bromocriptine, pergolide, lisuride, and cabergoline, which are all ergot derivatives, is currently limited mainly due to their adverse effects. The aforementioned drugs have in fact been supplanted by pramipexole and ropinirole, which are D2/3 selective and thus better tolerated [1]. These two drugs have a highly specific affinity to cerebral D3 receptors, which are known to be localized to the mesolimbic system [2]. Rotigotine is a newer DAA, delivered via transdermal patch, which is highly selective to D3 receptors as compared to D2 receptors. Apomorphine, which has approximately equal affinities for D2 and D3 [3], is only active when administered via injection and has a short onset time and duration.

Parkinson’s Disease, But Also Restless Legs Syndrome and Prolactinoma…

DAAs are mainly indicated to treat PD, although they are also used to relieve symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and prolactinoma or lactation inhibition. Others diseases may be anecdotally targeted by the prescription of DAAs, including fibromyalgia [4] and tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency [5], but use for these diseases falls outside of the approved recommendations.

Impulse Control Disorders (ICDs) Associated with Dopamine Agonists

When treating CNS disorders, it is often a desire to target a certain type of receptor; activating or inhibiting it in only a specific neuronal pathway. However, drug action is rarely limited to one region of the brain and a drug tends to impact a given receptor type throughout the brain [1]. The first cases of iatrogenic impulsive behaviors were reported in the early 2000s after DAAs received marketing authorization and began to be widely prescribed for PD [6, 7]. These first cases were considered to be iatrogenic based on chronological and pharmacological arguments: (i) they appeared after the onset of PD and dopamine replacement therapy (DRT) initiation and disappeared after discontinuing DRT; and (ii) DRT acted on dopamine receptors in both the nigrostriatal pathway and the reward pathway, which plays a role in addictive behavior. Several reviews have compiled published case reports or case series [8, 9] on this topic. Reported impulsive behaviors were pathological gambling, hypersexuality, compulsive shopping, binge eating, obsessive hobbying, punding, and compulsive medication use. The authors have rigorously examined the link between DRT and iatrogenic impulsive behaviors while considering a large range of disorders under a single umbrella term: impulse control disorders (ICDs) [10, 11]. ICDs are a heterogeneous group of diseases that are now included in the extended “Disruptive, Impulse Control, and Conduct Disorders” chapter in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) [12]. ICDs involve dysfunctions in both emotional and behavioral regulation. A shared key symptom of all ICDs is the failure to resist an impulse or temptation to perform an act that is harmful to a person or to others [13]. Individuals experience an increased sense of tension prior to an act and pleasure, gratification, or the release of tension at the time of committing the act. Some disorders that are classified in other nosographic categories (binge eating disorder in “Feeding and Eating Disorders” or gambling disorder in “Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders”) are considered in the literature in this field as ICDs due to their clinical proximity or evolutions in classifications. Similar adverse drug reactions have also been reported in RLS [1423] and prolactinoma patients [24, 25], thus implying that nigrostriatal denervation is not a prerequisite for the development of ICD. However, only a minority of individuals with from PD, RLS, or prolactinoma develop ICDs. This is in contrast to the high frequency of the other adverse effects (i.e., nausea, low blood pressure, or nightmares), which are directly linked to the central or peripheral action of DAAs. Concluding that medication is the only factor involved in the onset of ICDs would be simplistic and dangerous. Many other potential risk factors should be considered, including individual predisposition and/or disease-related factors.

Lack of Evidence

A substantial amount of literature is consecrated to the examination of the links between the use of DAAs in PD and the development of ICDs [2, 11, 13, 2663], and this topic continues to be a very active field of research. In most cases, emphasis is placed on iatrogenic factors. Furthermore, the same association in RLS or prolactinoma is rarely addressed, and, to the best of our knowledge, there is no review available that takes into account the three diseases for which DAAs are prescribed. To fill this void, we undertook a comprehensive review of ICDs simultaneous to DAA use, integrating iatrogenic factors, predisposing factors, and disease-related factors. We decided to focus only on original articles based on a control study design. Finally, recommendations to manage ICDs are briefly provided.

Materials and Methods

A systematic review of available literature was conducted to identify all relevant publications pertaining to the links between the use of DAAs and ICDs. For this review, we complied with the Preferred Reporting Items for systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) [64].

Search Resources

A search of two electronic databases was completed from inception to July 2017: PubMed and ScienceDirect. The search terms were medical subject headings (MeSH) terms including “Dopamine Agonists” AND “Disruptive, Impulse Control, and Conduct Disorders” found in the title, abstract, or keywords. Duplicates were eliminated. Additional records were included after manual search. The search strategy is summarized in Fig. 1.

Eligibility Criteria

Articles had to fulfill the following criteria to be included:

  • The target problem was an impulse control disorder;

  • The medication was a dopaminergic drug; and

  • The article was an original article.

Article Selection

Firstly, articles were selected based on their titles and abstracts. Secondly, the full text of all of the included articles was read. Two of the authors (MGB and GCB) performed this work independently using the same bibliographic search. In the event of disagreement, the relevant articles were discussed.

Data Extraction

Clinical and pharmacological data were extracted from the articles (by MGB, YD, JL, MR, ET, NZ, and GCB). Factors taken into account included the sample size of the studies, the type of participants, the characteristics of the disease, the characteristics of the drug, the study design, and the objectives. The main results are presented in tables that summarize the prevalence data, the iatrogenic factors, the patient-related factors and the disease-related factors (Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 in Appendix).

fMRI coupled with a gamble risk-taking task
To investigate the underlying neurobiology PD + ICD made more risky choices at lower ‘gamble risk’ than PD
DAAs in PD + ICS enhanced sensitivity to gamble risk with the opposite effect in PD. PD + ICS have an increased risk-taking bias compared to PD when there is only the prospect of gain, but not where there are both prospects of gain and loss
DAAs may enhance an unconscious bias towards risk in susceptible individuals, underpinned by decreased coupling of neural evaluation and risk in the ventral striatum, orbitofrontal cortex and anterior cingulate

Results

Ninety articles met the criteria for inclusion. DAAs were used in PD, RLS, or prolactinoma.

Prevalence

The results of the prevalence survey are presented in Table 1 in Appendix.

In PD patients, the prevalence of ICDs in general ranged from 2.6% [65] to 34.8% [66], reaching higher rates in specific populations: 39.1% in patients only treated using DAAs with a predefined minimum exposure to DAAs after study enrollment of at least 50 levodopa (l-dopa) equivalent daily dose (DAA-LEDD, calculated using the standard conversion factors described by Tomlinson and colleagues [67]) of DAA for at least 3 consecutive months [68] or 58.3% in early-onset PD (EOPD) patients [69]. No ICD stood out more than another, and authors reported discordant results concerning the frequency of each ICD.

In RLS patients, reported prevalences were lower, between 7.1% [70] and 11.4% [71]. Surprisingly, Bayard et al. [72] reported rates that were even lower for patients taking DAAs (2%) than for drug-free patients (2.5%), although DAA doses were three to five times lower in that study’s RLS population than in other RLS populations.

We found only two studies about prolactinoma. ICDs were observed in two patients out of 20 in one study [73], and concerned a quarter of the sample in another [74].

Drug-Related Factors

The results regarding drug-related factors are presented in Table 2 in Appendix.

Exposure to DRT was found to be a risk factor in the emergence of an adverse drug event such as ICD, and patients with ICDs were shown to take a significantly higher LEDD [7583]. A study assessing PD patients treated with low dosages of DRT did not find any significant association between drug-related factors and ICDs after multivariate analysis [86].

Type of Dopamine Agonist (DAA)

Both DAA and l-dopa use was implicated in the development of ICDs in PD patients, although the odds ratio (OR) was nearly twice as high for DAAs [84]. According to numerous studies, DAA use is an independent predictor for developing an ICD in PD patients [75, 78, 8396]. The six US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved DAAs (pramipexole, ropinirole, cabergoline, bromocriptine, rotigotine, and apomorphine) had a strong signal, the strongest being pramipexole and ropinirole, which both have a preferential affinity for D3 receptors [91]. Several studies highlighted a potentially causal role of pramipexole [85, 90]. However, other studies did not conclude that there were any significant associations with respect to a specific DAA [68, 86, 97].

Dose of DAA

For many authors, exposure to a higher daily dose of DAA [70, 77, 81, 86, 90, 93, 98, 99] and a higher peak DAA dose [68] were significantly associated with the development of ICDs. Only a few studies did not find any association with dosage [80, 100, 101]. Two studies assessed the dose–response relationship. Lee et al. [102] reported a DAA dose–response relationship with compulsive shopping, gambling, and hypersexuality, and Perez-Lloret et al. [103] noted a non-linear dose–response relationship between DAAs and the frequency of ICD symptoms. Finally, a longitudinal study showed a recovery from compulsive behaviors after reducing the dosage of DAAs in 16 patients out of 22 [104].

Duration of DAA Treatment

It is difficult to draw conclusions on the link between DAA treatment duration and ICDs. For some authors, DAA treatment duration seemed to have an influence, with a longer duration being associated with the development of ICDs [105, 106], while for other authors DAA treatment duration was non-significant [68]. In long-term studies of rotigotine transdermal patches, the incidence of ICDs was relatively low during the first 30 months of exposure and higher over the next 30 months [107].

DAA Formulation

Most studies did not indicate the drug formulations employed. Yet, some recent publications have discussed the relevance of extended formulations. Todorova et al. [108] thus demonstrated that infusion therapies (apomorphine infusion and intrajejunal l-dopa infusion) were associated with the resolution or attenuation of pre-existing ICDs. ICDs could, however, develop after apomorphine infusion initiation, but the rate remained lower than that reported for oral short-acting DAAs [108]. Transdermal patches of rotigotine provide continuous drug delivery with a stable plasma concentration over 24 h. It is suggested that extended formulations limit ICD development compared with immediate-release (IR) formulations. Nevertheless, ICDs were reported as an adverse drug reaction in rotigotine long-term treatment [107].

Biological Aspects

From a neurobiological point of view, DAA use implies a modification of the neuronal signaling of reward expectation (mesolimbic dopaminergic hyperactivation), resulting in a sensitization towards ICDs [109]. DAAs may abate negative reinforcement in feedback-based learning [110]. A case-control study showed a significant DAA-induced reduction of neuronal activity in brain areas that are implicated in impulse control and response inhibition (lateral orbitofrontal cortex, rostral cingulated zone, amygdala, and external pallidum) in PD patients with DAA-induced pathological gambling compared with that of PD controls [111]. Furthermore, when using different forms of decision-making tasks, including delay-discounting tasks, DAA use was associated with greater choice impulsivity [79, 112], shorter reaction time [112, 113], and increased risk-taking [114, 115] in PD patients with ICDs compared with PD controls. Exogenous dopamine influences impulsive decision-making, which may precipitate the development of ICDs [79]. In PD patients with hypersexuality, DAA use results in an increased sexual desire after exposure to sexual content compared with non-medicated PD patients [89].

In RLS patients, the underlying neurobiology remains less clear. Bayard et al. [72] observed reduced decision-making capacity where outcome probabilities were unknown, although no difference was observed between drug-free and DAA-treated patients [72]. It is important to note that DAA doses were three to five times lower in this study population than in other RLS populations.

Patient-Related Factors

The results relating to patient-related factors are presented in Table 3 in Appendix.

Sociodemographic Characteristics

Gender

Male gender was commonly found as an independent predictor for developing ICDs [66, 77, 78, 97, 105, 116, 117] as well as for pathological gambling or hypersexuality [102] in PD patients and in prolactinoma patients [74]. In contrast, female gender was associated with the resolution of ICDs in PD patients during follow-up [100]. Female gender was found to be more frequent in RLS patients with ICDs [70].

Age

A younger age [77, 80, 82, 84, 87, 92, 96, 97, 117119] and an age under 65 years [66] or 68 years [103] were also commonly found to be independent predictors for developing an ICD. PD patients with pathological gambling were distinguished from PD with ICDs not otherwise specified and from PD controls of a younger age [82].

Other Sociodemographic Characteristics

According to Weintraub et al. [84], PD patients with ICDs were most likely unmarried and living in the USA.

Co-Morbidities

Psychiatric Symptoms

Mental illness was found to be significantly correlated to the presence of an ICD [120], except in one study [87]. Depression and anxiety were the highest-ranking correlates. A history of depression [99], symptoms of depression [85, 121], and a higher score of depression [66, 80, 82, 95, 122] were found to be predictors of the development of an ICD in patients with PD or RLS [123]. In a longitudinal study, Joutsa et al. [100] showed that the development of a novel ICD was associated with the concurrent increase in depression score. Conversely, one study reported only discrete symptoms of disinhibition [85]. A history of anxiety [99], trait anxiety [94], symptoms of anxiety or stress [123], and a higher anxiety score [76, 81, 82, 122] were also found to be predictors of the development of an ICD. Interestingly, a higher obsessive–compulsive score was reported in only one study [122]. PD patients with pathological gambling were distinguished from PD with ICDs not otherwise specified and from PD controls with a higher severity of psychotic symptoms [82].

Addictive Disorders

In some studies, no link was found between addictive disorders and the development of an ICD [68, 87]. For others, substance use (and not a substance use disorder) of caffeine [68, 121], nicotine [68, 84, 90], stimulants (tea, mate) [96], alcohol [88], or drugs [70], as well as gambling practice [120] was found to be associated with ICDs. A family history of pathological gambling was reported in two studies [70, 84].

Sleep Problems

More sleep problems were reported in patients with RLS [123] or PD [82, 96] with compulsions or ICDs.

Personality

Predictably, the most assessed personality dimension was impulsivity, with authors reporting higher impulsivity scores [94, 122] and greater choice impulsivity [122]. PD patients with ICDs also made errors in perceptual decision-making tasks. Clinically, this implies that PD patients with ICDs may make disadvantageous decisions as they are often ‘in a rush’ to decide [113]. Similarly, a higher score of novelty-seeking [81] was found to be associated with ICDs, especially among PD patients with compulsive sexual behavior [122].

PD patients with ICDs were described as individuals with ineffective coping skills [120], a higher level of neuroticism and lower levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness [80], especially among PD patients with PG [121] or compulsive sexual behaviors [81]. EOPD patients with ICD symptoms scored higher on both self-assertive/antisocial and reserved/schizoid personality styles [121]. For their part, PD patients with pathological gambling displayed higher scores of bizarre ideation and cynicism than those without pathological gambling or ICD [124]. Finally, somatization appeared to be higher in patients with EOPD with ICD symptoms [121].

Biological Aspects

DRD3 p.Ser9Gly (rs6280) heterozygous variant CT genotype was found to be a predictor of ICDs among PD patients [83]. Another genotyping study also indicated a significant association with tryptophan hydroxylase type 2 (TPH2) (recessive) and dopamine transporter (DAT) gene variants (dominant) in PD patients with ICD or dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS), all the more so when the severity of the ICD or DDS was high [125]. TPH2 genotype was the strongest predictor of non-remission during follow-up. Finally, variants of DRD1 rs4867798, DRD1 rs4532, DRD2/ANKK1 rs1800497, and GRIN2B rs7301328 were found to be associated with an increased risk of developing impulse control behaviors among PD patients [126]. Kraemmer et al. [127] found heritability of ICD behavior to be 57%, OPRK1, HTR2A, and DDC genotypes being the strongest genetic predictive factors.

An imaging study based on single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of the DAT concluded that the DAT density differed in PD patients with PG compared with PD patients without ICD or healthy controls. PD patients with PG showed a reduced tracer binding in the right ventral striatum, possibly reflecting either a reduction of mesolimbic projections or a lower membrane DAT expression on presynaptic terminals [128]. A recent study suggested that changes in DAT availability over time increased the risk of incident ICDs [129].

Another SPECT study showed a reduction of left putaminal and left inferior frontal gyrus tracer uptake in PD patients with ICDs compared with those without ICD [130]. This frontostriatal dysconnectivity may be related to a DA and serotonin network dysfunction centered around the left putamen, supporting the idea of a monoaminergic frontostriatal disconnection syndrome as the biological basis of ICD symptoms in PD. This may reflect either a pre-existing neuronal trait vulnerability for impulsivity or the expression of a maladaptive synaptic plasticity under non-physiological dopaminergic stimulation [130].

D2 receptor availability was no different between PD patients with or without ICDs at baseline, but a greater reduction of ventral striatum 11C-raclopride binding potential following l-dopa challenge with reward-related cue exposure relative to neutral cue exposure was observed [131]. PD patients with pathological gambling seemed to have dysfunctional activation of DA autoreceptors in the midbrain and low DA tone in the anterior cingulate [132]. A recent study failed to demonstrate any D3 upregulation in PD patients with ICD [133].

Finally, an imaging study showed that PD patients with ICD, compared with those without ICD and healthy controls, had a thicker cortex in the anterior cingulate and the orbitofrontal cortex, which are cortical areas linked to impulsivity and inhibition behaviors [134]. These structural abnormalities were correlated with the severity of the ICD.

Disease-Related Factors

A summary of the results relating to disease-related factors is presented in Table 4 in Appendix.

Age of Onset

Most studies concluded that a younger age at PD onset was an independent predictor for developing an ICD in PD patients [7678, 80, 82, 94, 99, 102, 105, 106, 118, 135]—especially when the ICD was pathological gambling [82]—or in RLS patients [70]. Recently, Krishnamoorthy et al. [83] emphasized a limit of 50 years and under in PD patients with ICDs.

Disease Duration

Similarly, a longer PD duration was found to be a factor [80, 82, 102, 137], except in a few cases [68, 85]. Rana et al. [78] identified stages 1–2 of PD as one of the five common variables among patients who developed ICDs.

Type of Disease

Compared with PD patients without ICDs, those with ICDs displayed a higher frequency of motor complications [68, 80, 102], with greater motor disease complexity [76] and motor fluctuations [93]. Conversely, PD patients with motor complications were more likely to have an ICD [75]. Furthermore, a higher score on the Movement Disorder Society–Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part 1 was found in two studies [93, 94], as well as increased functional impairment, decreased motivation [122] and a higher Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score [68]. Finally, patients with right-onset PD exhibited significantly higher levels of novelty-seeking than the patients with left-onset PD, which may increase the risk of developing an ICD when associated with the simultaneous use of DAAs [138]. However, Pontone et al. [85] and later Kenangil et al. [101] found no significant association between PD features and the presence of ICD, and Ramirez Gómez et al. [96] found a negative association between motor fluctuations or dyskinesias and ICDs.

Biological Aspects

To disentangle the effects of the disease process and DA medication and the development of ICDs, Al-Khaled et al. [139] compared medicated and unmedicated PD patients, RLS patients and healthy controls. Using a delay discounting task, they demonstrated that unmedicated PD patients had a higher discounting rate. Thus, impulsive decision-making in PD patients may not be a side effect of dopaminergic treatment but rather a trait marker of PD. These results were in accordance with those of Aarts et al. [140], who demonstrated the aberrant impact of rewards in PD, a reflection of reward-related impulsivity, was directly related to the degree of dopamine neuron loss, i.e., to a factor intrinsically related to the disease pathology itself.

Discussion

Main Findings

Through our review, we have shown that this topic has been extensively studied over the last 10 years, allowing for us to obtain prevalence results from large samples. Publications mostly focused on iatrogenic factors, and progressively extended to patient- and disease-related factors. All this illustrates the complexity of this type of adverse drug reaction and the need to consider ICDs as multifactorial disorders. As recently noted by Voon et al. [141], ICDs reflect the interactions of the DRT with an individual’s susceptibility, and the underlying neurobiology of PD. The most robust findings, supported by several studies, include the type of DAA (having a higher selectivity for D3 receptors), dosage (higher daily dose), male gender (for PD), a younger age (although DAAs are more likely to be prescribed for younger PD patients), a history of depression and anxiety symptoms, an earlier onset of disease (it represents the same selection bias as for a younger age), a longer disease duration (for PD), and motor complications (for PD).

Limitations

The value of the results, however, is limited by several aspects. Firstly, it is important to note that the assessment of ICDs was to a great extent heterogeneous, based on standardized clinical interviews, self-report questionnaires, medical records, and caregiver reports. Assessments were not always based on validated tools or consensual diagnostic criteria, with an explored period that was not always specified. Sometimes, the authors reported subclinical disorders, at other times only symptoms. On other occasions, they referred to lifetime or current disorders. This heterogeneity can be seen in the number of terms employed to describe ICDs: overeating, binge eating disorder, bulimia, compulsive shopping or buying, compulsive sexual behavior, hypersexuality, gambling, excessive gambling, problem gambling, pathological gambling, compulsive behavior, impulsive and compulsive behavior, impulse control disorder, ICD–not otherwise specified, impulsive control and repetitive behavior disorder, repetitive behavior disorder, etc. Although the inclusion of excessive behaviors among ICDs (for instance, overeating) may seem surprising, one must remembered that all display a high level of impulsivity. In this respect, they are in fact quite similar to disorders that are included in the other nosographic categories (i.e., ‘Feeding and Eating Disorders’ and ‘Substance-related and Addictive Disorders’). The prevalence of ICDS in patients using DAAs varies widely according to which assessment tool is used. It should be noted that the true frequency may be underestimated due to patients’ lack of insight into ICDs or their hesitation to acknowledge an ICD out of shame or embarrassment [26].

Secondly, a large amount of heterogeneous data were collected on drugs, individuals, and underlying disease characteristics. However, the evaluation of certain factors, such as social determinants, was almost systematically neglected. Studies were not reproducible, making it difficult to draw general conclusions on the respective influence of each characteristic on the development of ICDs; this is especially true for psychological characteristics. Indeed, different studies evaluated different psychological dimensions, using different assessment tools. Poor decision-making and impulsivity are two dimensions regularly cited to influence ICD development. The challenge of differentiating between pre-existing personality traits, the impact of underlying disease, or the effects of DRT remains. A recent study demonstrated that exposure to pramipexole in PD patients without ICDs was associated with an increase in impulsive choices, acting essentially on decision-making processes [142]. The authors speculated that, in PD patients without ICDs, pramipexole could modulate the top–down control, which is generally impaired in PD patients with ICDs. In healthy controls, pramipexole was shown to increase the activity of the NAcc, enhancing the interaction between the NAcc and the prefrontal cortex [99]. It was suggested that pramipexole may exaggerate incentive and affective response to possible rewards, but reduce the top–down control of impulses. Furthermore, increased impulsivity may not only be dependent on medication but also on neuroanatomical abnormalities intrinsic to PD, with gray matter atrophy in impulse-control regions [143].

Thirdly, we lack information relative to the drug formulations used in all trials. Indeed, extended-release (ER) forms of DAAs were progressively introduced, and several randomized controlled trials have compared their safety with immediate-release (IR) forms in the past few years. For instance, according to the review by Fishman [144], the prevalence of ICDs is similar in both the IR and the ER forms of pramipexole. However, according to Stocchi et al. [145], the relative recent marketing of the new ER DAAs has not yet resulted in conclusive data on the incidence of ICDs during their use. Thus, transdermal ragotidine and ER pramipexole may have a safer profile than IR pramipexole and IR/ER ropinirole [146]. ER forms provide a better stability of plasmatic drug concentrations. Pharmacokinetic factors (rate of onset, half-life) are thought to be a critical determinant of the reinforcing effects and abuse potential of a drug. Some authors consider ICDs as additive disorders, even if only gambling disorder has been included in the “Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders” chapter in DSM-5 [12]. We may assume that pharmacokinetic parameters could be involved, at least partly, in the development of ICDs. This is consistent with the fact that more ICDs have been described with DAA than with l-dopa, which is a prodrug needing a biotransformation to become an agonist (corresponding to an ER-like form). It is hypothesized that the acute release of DA in the ventral striatum in relation to a pulsed therapy could underlie the development of ICDs [108].

Fourthly, most of the studies were cross-sectional, which is not an optimal strategy for the observation of personality traits or psychiatric co-morbidities and for determining whether or not they are predisposing factors or rather a consequence of an adverse drug reaction or the underlying disease. Nevertheless, two studies conducted in drug-naïve PD patients compared with healthy controls concluded that PD itself did not seem to confer an increased risk of development of an ICD [147, 148].

Fifthly, some authors conducted multiple comparisons without applying corrections or using multivariate analysis and concluded several significant associations irrespective of the risk of the type I error.

Finally, the MeSH term “Dopamine Agonists” used for this review did not include partial DAA drugs that are also known to cause ICDs, such as aripiprazole [9, 149] and flupentixole [150].

Recommendations

Recommendations are based on two key principles: the prevention of ICDs and the treatment of ICDs when they occur. Several studies were recently published that provide guidelines for the management of ICDs in PD patients [45, 51, 151]. Part of these recommendations could also be used to address RLS or prolactinoma.

“Prevention is Better than Cure”: How to Achieve ‘P4 Medicine’?

‘P4 medicine’ can be achieved by adhering to the following recommendations:

  • By encouraging a more systematic comprehensive assessment of patients to help in identifying those who are at risk of developing an ICD, sustained by the concept of predictive medicine;

  • By better adapting the treatment strategy (avoiding drugs that are the most selective of D3 receptors in patients who are at greatest risk), sustained by the concept of personalized medicine;

  • By providing full and clear information on these potential adverse drug reactions to patients and by raising awareness of the risk among caregivers, to promote early detection and medical intervention, sustained by the concept of participatory medicine;

  • By preferring the prescription of ER formulations that have proven to be non-inferior to the IR formulations, and are better tolerated, and by routinely monitoring the patients, sustained by the concept of preventive medicine.

When an ICD Occurs, it is Not Too Late

The priority is to stop or to control excessive behavior, with the objective of harm minimization. The first stage aims at optimizing the DA treatment by:

  • Reducing the l-dopa equivalent daily dose or discontinuing the DAA [104], but with the risk of motor function deterioration and the occurrence of DAA withdrawal syndrome;

  • Switching from one DAA to another that is less selective of the D3 receptors [3, 27];

  • Combining oral DAA at a lower dose with apomorphine [27] or orally disintegrating selegiline, which is a selective inhibitor of the monoamine oxydase type B [152].

The second stage is to propose non-pharmacological approaches, especially cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) focusing on ICD [153]. This implies promoting links between neurologists and psychiatrists and tailoring CBT to the particular characteristics of these patients in order to decrease the risk of relapse and dropout during treatment [153].

In the event of a negative outcome, the third stage involves less conventional treatment options:

  • Bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep-brain stimulation (DBS): case reports have shown an improvement after DBS [154], but a recent review provided inconsistent results [155].

  • Specific pharmacological treatment of ICDs: several molecules were tested in a (very) small number of PD patients with ICDs. Antiepileptic drugs, such as topiramate [156], valproate [157], or zonisamide [158], and anti-craving drugs, such as naltrexone [159], could be effective therapeutic options, whereas antidepressant drugs, such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors [160], or atypical antipsychotics, such as quetiapine [161] or risperidone [6], were met with mixed results. Clozapine was tested with encouraging results in a few patients [162], but one must keep in mind its serious adverse effects and consider risks versus benefits for patients on an individual level.

Conclusion and Future Directions

The prevalence of ICDs ranged from 2.6 to 34.8% in PD patients, and from 7.1 to 11.4% in RLS patients. There are insufficient data available on prolactinoma to draw a conclusion with respect to prevalence. This review suggests that DAA use is associated with an increased risk in the occurrence of ICDs, under the combined influence of various factors. The most robust findings include the type of DAA (having a higher selectivity for D3 receptors), dosage (higher daily dose), male gender (for PD), a younger age (although DAAs are more likely to be prescribed in younger PD patients), a history of depression and anxiety symptoms, an earlier onset of disease (this pertains to the same selection bias as younger PD patients), a longer disease duration (for PD), and motor complications (for PD). Recently, a new clinical–genetic prediction model that has reached high accuracy was proposed [127]. Guidelines to help in the prevention of ICDs and in their treatment when required do exist. Thus, identifying who is at risk of developing an ICD is crucial. Progress is still to be made to improve the evaluation of individual patients, using validated and consensual assessment tools, and by also integrating social factors. Further longitudinal studies including patients who have not yet developed an ICD would be useful in determining premorbid risk factors. Conducting literature-based meta-analysis, although difficult to achieve due to the heterogeneity of the data collected, could provide insight into the relative importance of the associated factors. Finally, large samples are needed to better characterize subtypes of patients with co-morbid ICD because beyond the associated factors reported in our review, it appears that they do not constitute a homogeneous group. This clinical intuition is well-supported by empirical evidence suggesting different evolutions after reduction or discontinuation of the DAA alleged to have cause the ICD. For some patients, DAA reduction or discontinuation is sufficient to obtain complete resolution of the ICD, while for others it is necessary to associate other measures. In the first case, one can imagine that the development of an ICD is a ‘real’ adverse drug reaction, linked to a particular sensitivity to DAAs, and which may be reversible by reducing DDA dosage under a specific threshold for each patient. In the second case, there may also be an addictive vulnerability involving biological, psychological, and environmental factors. DAA use would then only act as a catalyst, with the ICD finally evolving on its own. In these cases, the ICD also requires specialized addiction care.
