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 tests a new tablet called ENERGI-F705 to see if it helps reduce Parkinson's disease symptoms and is safe to take. You'll need to have had Parkinson's for at least 2 years and be on standard Parkinson's medications.
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.
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 whether a supplement called L-theanine and a Mediterranean diet can improve sleep, digestion, and inflammation in early-stage Parkinson's disease. It may help if you are in stage 1 and live with a healthy partner.
