Arm cuff exercise for better sleep in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a treatment that may help reduce brain inflammation and improve sleep in people who have had a first stroke and now have trouble sleeping. It uses a non-invasive technique called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief, repeated cycles of a blood pressure cuff on the arm.
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 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 study tests a prevention program to see if it can help slow down or stop the early signs of Parkinson's disease. It is for people with a sleep disorder that is linked to a higher risk of Parkinson's, as well as people already diagnosed with early Parkinson's.
This study tests a treatment called ischemic conditioning, which uses brief blood-flow restriction to improve blood vessel health, to see if it can help with Parkinson's disease symptoms. It may help improve blood flow and potentially ease some motor and non-motor symptoms.
This study tests a special bed (Somnomat Casa) to help improve sleep in people with Parkinson's disease. It looks at whether the bed is comfortable and acceptable to use.
