Sleep helps reduce symptoms of Parkinson's disease

Dutch scientists found that sleep improves the motor nerve function of Parkinson's patients, according to Healthday.

In the study, scientists asked 243 patients about unrelated and nerve-related symptoms.

Sleep helps improve motor neuron function of Parkinson's patients

Scientists found that 47% of patients who experience a night's sleep will have a clear improvement in symptoms of the disease.

In addition, daytime naps are also performed by most patients. Accordingly, 13% of patients reported a clear improvement in motor nerve function after daytime naps.

More surprising when 20% of patients said combining both sleep improves symptoms of the disease.

However, the reason why good sleep for Parkinson's patients has not been found by scientists and not all patients have improved this function through sleep.

The study was published in the June issue of Parkinson's Disease.
