Observational Study of Sleep in Parkinson's Disease

This observational study is looking at how people with Parkinson's disease (PD) sleep. Researchers want to understand sleep patterns better because sleep problems are very common in PD and can greatly affect quality of life. The study will measure your total sleep time using a special headband that can record sleep information. To join, you need to be between 18 and 80 years old. You'll need to be able to use and wear a wristband and a headband sleep monitor, and also keep a daily log of your routine. The study aims to enroll 15 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study with an unclear status, planning to enroll 15 participants. It is not testing a new treatment but rather observing sleep patterns.
What's involved
You will need to learn to use and wear a wristband-style sleep monitor for two weeks and a headband sleep monitor for two weeks. You will also log daily routine events like sleeping, eating, and medication.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your total sleep time will be measured at the beginning of the study and again at 6 months.

What this trial measures

  • Change in total sleep time (TST) as measured by polysomnogram-capable headbandBaseline; 6 months

    The total amount of time spent asleep, averaged over the 3-night study period, will be measured by a polysomnogram-capable headband (Dreem Headband, Rythm, France).
