Had a nightmare last night? Thatโ€™s not a good sign for your health New research has linked frequent nightmares with a range of health problems, including premature death. But how often is too often?

Are you experiencing nightmares? Donโ€™t ignore them โ€” they could be isolated REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder, the first sign of Parkinson's Disease! We are currently recruiting for a trial to see if we can change your future:

Great to see this first publication from Chris Coppin exploring the phenotype of start hesitation in Parkinson's patients with #Freezing of #Gait
Potentially less corticostriate and more brainstem correlates... future studies will look at fMRI and neurophysiology. Need to improve treatment options!

A significant day for the Australian Parkinson's Mission (theapm.org.au) delighted to report our Final Patient, Final Visit for APM001. So grateful to all of our participants and centres. Hopefully, we will have results to share before the end of the year.
