Could a sleep disorder hold the key to Parkinson's pain?
NCT ID NCT07702266
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates primary parkinsonian pain (PPP), a severe and hard-to-treat pain type in Parkinson's disease. Researchers want to see if PPP is linked to REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a condition where people act out their dreams. About 300 people with Parkinson's will fill out a 15-minute online questionnaire about their pain, sleep, and other symptoms. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors diagnose and manage PPP more effectively.
