This trial tests a sleep medication called lemborexant in people with Parkinson's disease who also have insomnia. The goal is to see if it improves both sleep and movement symptoms.
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 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.
This study looks at mood (depression and anxiety) and sleep in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to better understand how common these issues are so doctors can help manage them.
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.
