About This Parkinsons Disease Study in Old Westbury

Parkinsonism, mainly caused by Parkinsons disease (PD), includes symptoms like tremors, stiffness, slow movements, and balance problems. These symptoms can make it hard for people to sleep well, which leads to a lower quality of life and can increase the risk of other health issues and cognitive decline. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a hands-on approach that may help improve sleep without the side effects of traditional treatments. While OMT has shown promise in enhancing sleep, no studies have specifically looked at its effects on sleep in Parkinson's disease patients. This study aims to see if OMT can help improve sleep quality, cognitive function, and daily activities for people with PD. The investigators will focus on treating specific areas of the body, using techniques that have helped improve sleep in the past. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will receive OMT, while the other will get a light touch treatment as a control. Sleep surveys and data from Fitbit devices will be used to compare the effects of the two treatments. Additionally, cognitive function will be assessed using a specific task called the Stroop task. This research could show that OMT can be a valuable addition to treatments for improving sleep quality in people with Parkinsons disease.
