Parkinson's disease symptoms often start gradually, which can make it difficult to diagnose in the early stages.
Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, often begins with subtle symptoms. One of the most recognised signs is a slight tremor, usually starting in the hands or fingers.
"While we need to carry out further research in this area, identifying the significance of bad dreams and nightmares could indicate that individuals who experience changes to their dreams in older age – without any obvious trigger – should seek medical advice," said Dr Abidemi Otaiku, the lead author of the study.
At the beginning of the study, the male participants completed a series of questionnaires, including one about their sleep quality. Those who reported having nightmares at least once a week were then monitored until the end of the study to see if they were more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
During the follow-up period, 91 cases of Parkinson's were diagnosed. The findings showed that those who frequently had nightmares were twice as likely to develop the disease compared to those who did not.
