Circadian rhythm disturbance could influence Parkinson’s disease onset
Musculoskeletal disorders are injuries or pain in the human musculoskeletal system, including the joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, and structures that support limbs, neck and back.
New research by a team at Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (PA, USA) has identified a potential link between Parkinson’s disease and chronic lack of sleep or irregular sleep-wake cycles. The results were published recently in Molecular Psychiatry. The study, which was led by Domenico Praticò (Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University ) indicates that disturbances to the circadian rhythm that are present prior to the onset of Parkinson’s disease play a part in worsened motor and learning deficits developed as a consequence of the disease. The study is also the first to demonstrate that...
