Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of nocturnal translational vestibular stimulations (VS) applied by a rocking bed (Somnomat Casa) for two months in patients with Parkinson's Disease.


Clinical Trial Description

Twelve PD patients will receive overnight VS in their familiar home environment for two months via the rocking bed. Participants will be given questionnaires to obtain feedback on the acceptability of the nocturnal intervention device. Effects on sleep, motor and non-motor symptoms, and quality of life will be assessed using the appropriate validated scales and questionnaires. The corresponding assessments will be performed before, during, and two month after the intervention. Unobtrusive pressure-sensitive textiles and bioradar will be used to record physiological variables such as body position, movements, breathing rate, and heart rate to correlate them to the clinical assessments as well as to markers obtained from actigraphy devices that the patients will be wearing throughout the study. The primary feasibility outcomes include rate of accrual and retention, adherence to the protocol, acceptability and satisfaction with intervention using rocking bed specific questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and data collected automatically from the bed. To assess the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention the secondary outcomes are the change in subjective sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, PD related sleep disorders, mentation, behaviour, mood, activities of daily living, motor performance, and quality of life. ;
