Brief summary

The study by giving a sleep disorder Parkinson's disease patients with different patterns of ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation or sham stimulation, scale for assessment of the patients were observed, hematology and imaging changes before and after therapy, clear ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation for sleep disorder Parkinson's disease treatment, to explore the mechanism of action, compare the difference between different modes.

Detailed description

Parkinson's disease is the second most common chronic neurodegenerative disease.At present, researchers focus not only on the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but also on the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (including mood disorders, sleep disorders, cognitive decline, and autonomic nervous kinetic disorder, etc.).The principle of transcranial magnetic stimulation is based on the electromagnetic principle proposed by Faraday. When an electrifying coil is suspended over the scalp at a certain distance, the magnetic field generated by the coil current and the electric field generated by the magnetic field can reach the skull and directly or indirectly affect the synapses and neurons in the brain.The study by giving a sleep disorder Parkinson's disease patients with different patterns of ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation or sham stimulation, scale for assessment of the patients were observed, hematology and imaging changes before and after therapy, clear ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation for sleep disorder Parkinson's disease treatment, to explore the mechanism of action, compare the difference between different modes.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
change from length of sleep at one weekone weekSleep duration was monitored by polysomnography.It's measured in minutes.
change from ratio of stage 3 sleep in total sleep at one weekone weekThe proportion of phase 3 sleep in total sleep was monitored by polysomnography.It's in percentages.
change from limb movement of sleep at one weekone weekThe number of body movements during sleep was recorded by polysomnography.It's in units of times per night.
change from nocturnal arousal frequency at one weekone weekThe number of nocturnal awakenings was recorded by polysomnography.It's in units of times per night.
change from Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale at one week1 day before treatment、1 day after treatment、1 week after treatment、1 moth after treatmentThe scale was evaluated on the day before treatment and the day after treatment, which was based on scores.The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 2L, and the higher the score, the worse the sleep quality.
Interleukin 61 day before treatment and 1 day after treatmentIt plays an important role in central nervous system diseases. In PD, the increase of IL-6 is the body's self-defense mechanism to protect neurons, and the change of IL-6 in peripheral blood can reflect the change of injury aggravation and recovery.It is also associated with psychiatric symptoms, and IL-6 is elevated in major depression.
change from Parkinson's disease quality of life scale one weekone weekThe scale was evaluated on the day before treatment and the day after treatment, which was based on scores.The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 156, and the higher the score, the worse the quality of life.
change from the Epworth sleepiness scale at one weekone weekThe scale was evaluated on the day before treatment and the day after treatment, which was based on scores.The scale has an overall score range of 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating more severe sleepiness.
change from Parkinson's disease sleep scale at one weekone weekThe scale was evaluated on the day before treatment and the day after treatment, which was based on scores.The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 150. The higher the score, the better the sleep.
change from movement disorders association - comprehensive rating scale of Parkinson's disease at one weekone weekThe scale was evaluated on the day before treatment and the day after treatment, which was based on scores.The total score of the scale ranged from 0 to 260, and the higher the score, the more severe the symptoms were.
change from Hamilton depression scale at one weekone weekThe scale was evaluated on the day before treatment and the day after treatment, which was based on scores.The total score of the scale ranged from 0 to 96, and the higher the score, the more severe the depression was.
change from Hamilton anxiety scale at one weekone weekThe scale was evaluated on the day before treatment and the day after treatment, which was based on scores.The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 56, and the higher the score, the more serious the anxiety.
change from simple mental state scale at one weekone weekThe scale was evaluated on the day before treatment and the day after treatment, which was based on scores.The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 30, and the lower the score, the more severe the cognitive impairment.
change from Montreal cognitive assessment scale at one weekone weekThe scale was evaluated on the day before treatment and the day after treatment, which was based on scores.The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 30, and the lower the score, the more severe the cognitive impairment.
change from magnetic resonance imaging of the brain at one monthone monthThe ADC values of sleep-related brain tissues were measured by diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the brain.Compare the difference between the measured results on both sides of the same site and record the difference.
