Sleep disturbances in untreated Parkinson's disease

Abstrakt

The aim of the study was to assess sleep disturbances in newly diagnosed PD patients. We investigated 20 untreated PD patients and 20 healthy controls using sleep questionnaires and video-polysomnography.

We found sleep disturbances in a proportion of patients, but RBD was rarely present in this cohort.
