In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects about 1% of the elderly population and accounts for substantial disability and health care costs. Disability is largely driven by mobility deficits caused by impaired gait. Effective treatments are available to restore lower limb function and improve gait, but response to treatment varies greatly from patient to patient and often shows only small effect sizes. Addressing this heterogeneity requires personalization, a concept referred to precision neurorehabilitation. StimuLOOP.PD-Sleep intends to foster structured and reproducible methods for precision neurorehabilitation of gait in PD. The investigators will conduct a proof-of-concept study to investigate a sleep intervention tailored to the individual patient in the context of motor rehabilitation. โ€ข Targeted auditory stimulation during sleep (TASS): The investigato
