Cambridge Sleep Sciences and Parkinson’s Concierge to test sleep device in Parkinson’s disease
15th March 2021
Cambridge Sleep Sciences has announced a new partnership with Parkinson’s Concierge to explore the impact of sleep device technology in people living with Parkinson’s disease.
Cambridge Sleep Sciences SleepHub device, which has been shown to improve sleep in individuals with insomnia, will be assessed in people with Parkinson’s prior to undertaking formal clinical trials.
Sleep issues are common for people with Parkinson’s, and can include symptoms as drowsiness, fatigue, anxiety and other mental health problems.
“Many people with Parkinson’s have trouble falling or staying asleep at night. Sleep problems can arise from Parkinson’s motor or non-motor symptoms, medication side effects or other conditions that affect sleep,” according to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
