Sleep disorders in early and advanced Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at sleep problems in people with Parkinson's disease, people with REM sleep behavior disorder (a condition that causes acting out dreams), and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand how sleep is affected in early and full Parkinson's disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have Parkinson's disease (diagnosed by a doctor using standard criteria), OR you have REM sleep behavior disorder (confirmed by a sleep study), OR you are a healthy volunteer with no neurological or psychiatric conditions.
- If you have Parkinson's, you must have a score above 20 on a memory and thinking test (MoCA).
- If you have Parkinson's, you cannot have a deep brain stimulation device.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not under legal guardianship or in prison.

This study looks at people with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), confirmed by a sleep test, who may be in the early “prodromal” stage before Parkinson’s or related diseases. It also enrolls healthy controls to compare results from brain and body testing to better understand who is at risk.
This study enrolls people with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder, a sleep problem that can come before Parkinson’s disease or related conditions. It aims to better understand early (“prodromal”) changes so future treatments can be targeted earlier.
This study collects blood and related samples to create a “biobank” and uses lab tests to study genetic risk in Parkinson’s disease and idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). It may help researchers understand why symptoms develop and improve future prevention or treatment approaches.
This study examines brain changes in people with REM sleep behavior disorder (acting out dreams during sleep) and early Parkinson's disease using brain imaging scans. Researchers want to understand how sleep problems relate to Parkinson's development and find early warning signs.
This study tests whether playing soft sounds during deep sleep can slow down brain changes in people with REM sleep behavior disorder (a condition linked to Parkinson's disease). It is for people who have this sleep disorder or were recently diagnosed with Parkinson's, and are not yet on Parkinson's medications.
This study looks at pain in people with a sleep condition called idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), where people act out their dreams. It also includes a group of people with narcolepsy who have similar sleep issues. The goal is to understand how pain relates to these conditions.
