This trial tests whether regular light therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease. It is designed for patients whose symptoms are at a moderate stage and whose medication has been stable for a month or more.
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 trial tests whether stimulating a specific brain area (the globus pallidus) can improve severe insomnia in people who also have Parkinson’s symptoms. You might be considered if your insomnia is very difficult to control and you meet the study’s brain, sleep, and travel requirements.
This study tests whether light therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will receive light therapy sessions and have their symptoms checked before, after, and three months later.
This trial studies whether timed light exposure can help people who have trouble falling asleep. It aims to improve insomnia symptoms by testing a light-based approach while carefully measuring sleep patterns.
This study tests whether a light-therapy device can help people who take sleep medications cut down on their use. If it works, it might offer a drug-free way to improve sleep.
