Sleep & Move. Systematic Characterisation of Sleep Benefit in Parkinson's Disease. An Observational, Prospective Study
In Brief
An observational study for Idiopathic Parkinson Disease. Completed, enrolled 67 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Sleep benefit (SB) is a prominent spontaneous, apparently unpredictable, transitory improvement in motor function reported by around 50% of patients affected by Parkinson's Disease (PD) after sleep and before taking their first dose of dopaminergic medications. This study aims at systematically characterizing SB in PD patients in an ecological setting and to explore the relationships between nocturnal and diurnal sleep and subjective and objective measures of motor function. A better understanding of this phenomenon is mandatory for future research on this topic.
