Summary

This study tests whether enhancing deep sleep with gentle sounds at night can slow progression in people with iRBD or early Parkinson's disease. Participants wear a sensor headband and headphones for 18 months. Four assessments including mobility, memory, imaging (PET/MRI), lumbar puncture, and blood tests are assessed.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease
  • REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (iRBD)

Interventions

DEVICE

Tosoo Axora

Phase Targeted Auditory Stimulation (PTAS) will be applied through integrated headphones with a portable EEG device when non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep is detected during the night.

DEVICE

Tosoo Axora

Auditory stimuli will be delivered during the night through integrated headphones with a portable EEG device in a non-PTAS manner.
