Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Among the patients with Parkinson's disease, about 40%\~50% will suffer from depression, 40% will suffer from anxiety, and 40%\~60% will suffer from sleep disorder. These non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease will cause great physical and psychological pain and affect the quality of life seriously. Commonly used therapeutic drugs, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and clonazepam, can cause a variety of side effects, including serotonin syndrome, sexual dysfunction, daytime fatigue, insomnia, residual effects and increased risk of falls. Therefore, a new and more reasonable therapeutic choice should be sought. Agomelatine is a new type of antidepressant with novel mechanism, and can improve sleep structure and circadian rhythm. The aim of this multi-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to clarify the role of agomelatine in improving sleep disorders and depression in patients with Parkinson's disease
