Brain scans probe hidden link between Parkinson's sleep disorder and impulse control

NCT ID NCT07213219

Summary

This study aims to understand why some people with Parkinson's disease who also have a specific sleep disorder (REM sleep behavior disorder) might be at higher risk for developing impulse control problems. Researchers will use advanced brain scans (PET-MRI) to compare the brain's reward system in 44 Parkinson's patients, with and without the sleep disorder. The goal is to identify a brain pattern that could serve as a warning sign, helping doctors personalize treatment plans to potentially prevent these behavioral issues.
