Description

Jingqi Li and co-authors pool trial evidence on drugs for sleep troubles in Parkinson's disease. Their 2025 meta-analysis covers 23 randomized trials. Sleep problems are the commonest non-motor burden in the disease, yet drug guidance has stayed unsettled.

Drugs clearly helped daytime sleepiness and insomnia on pooled scores. They did not beat controls for the acting-out dream disorder that hits many patients. Evidence quality ranged from very low to moderate across the set. Trials split by problem type: seven each for the dream disorder and sleepiness, six for insomnia. The authors ask for stronger trials on the dream disorder most of all.
