The main aims are: Evaluate the prevalence of pain and characterize it in Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonisms (MSA) Evaluate the effect of rehabilitation on pain and autonomic symptoms Evaluate the prevalence of autonomic symptoms in Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonisms (MSA) Assess the impact of pain and autonomic symptoms on quality of life. Participants will perform neurological examination, rehabilitation program and clinical scales. Researchers will compare the two groups of patients (PD and MSA) and the effect of the rehabilitation on pain, autonomic symptoms and quality of life.
