Osteopathic treatment for sleep in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if gentle hands-on treatments (osteopathic manipulative medicine) can improve sleep quality for people with Parkinson's disease. You will wear a Fitbit and a ring to track your sleep, and receive the treatments over several sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether menthol (a natural minty substance) can help people with Parkinson's disease move better and sleep more soundly. You may benefit if you have early-stage Parkinson's, are having sleep trouble, and are looking for a simple, additional option.
This study tests an adaptive brain stimulation device to help restore better sleep in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if your Parkinson’s motor symptoms are severe despite best medical treatment and you are already being considered for a specific deep brain stimulation surgery.
This trial tests whether playing soft sounds during sleep can boost the effects of a computer-based brain training program in people with Parkinson's disease who have mild memory or thinking issues. If you qualify, you'll use a headband that plays tones while you sleep and do brain exercises for several weeks.
This trial studies whether osteopathic manipulative medicine (gentle hands-on treatment) can change how leg muscles work in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help with leg pain, cramping, or walking problems caused by Parkinson’s.
This study looks at whether an exercise program can improve sleep problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. It’s mainly for those who already have poor sleep quality while taking stable Parkinson’s medicine.
This trial tests if a simple, non-invasive arm cuff treatment can improve sleep and other non-motor symptoms in people with early Parkinson's disease. It involves using a blood pressure-like cuff on your arm to briefly restrict blood flow, then release it, hoping to train your body's protective systems.
