Summary

This study looked at whether safinamide, a Parkinson's medication, can improve sleep quality in people with later-stage Parkinson's disease. Eleven participants took the drug for 12 weeks, and researchers measured sleep changes using a sleep questionnaire and overnight brain-wave recordings. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
