چکیده
|
Sleep disorders are common in parkinson's disease (pd) and seem to be strongly associated with depression. it has been suggested that sleep disorders as well as depression are caused by a disturbed circadian rhythm. indeed,pd patients are prone to misalignment of their circadian rhythm due to various factors,and many patients with pd display a phase advance of their circadian rhythm. current treatment options for sleep disorders and depression in patients with pd are limited and can have serious side effects; alternative treatments are therefore badly needed. bright light therapy (blt) restores circadian rhythmicity effectively in mood- and sleep-disturbed patients without pd. the few studies that focused on the efficacy of blt in patients with pd demonstrated a positive effect of blt not only on sleep and mood but also on motor function. more research on the neurobiology and efficacy of blt in pd is warranted. © 2012 sonja rutten et al.
