What this trial measures
- Sensing & Sleep: Parkinson's Disease Sleep AssessmentDay 1 to Day 14
A 7 item to rate sleep experience scored 0=unsure, 1=No and 2=Yes. Total range of scores is from 0-14 with a higher score indicating more issues with sleep
- Motor severityBaseline to Day 14
Motor severity will be assessed by the Movement Disorders Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale - part III. This scale is the gold standard for measuring the severity and progression of PD. Part III entails motor examination which consists of 18 questions that are scored on a 0-4 scale. Higher scores suggest greater severity and progressing disease.
- Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)Baseline to Day 14
The ESS is a short, self-administered survey that asks respondents to rate their likelihood of dozing off in eight different situations on a scale of 0-3. The total score ranges from 0-24, and is used to estimate if the respondent has excessive daytime sleepiness that may require medical attention. A score over 10 is abnormal. Higher scores suggest greater severity of daytime sleepiness.
