Brief Summary

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

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by chronic and progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) pars compacta. Sleep disturbances and fatigue are very common problems in Parkinson's patients. He reported that the frequency of fatigue was 47% in patients with a disease duration of less than five years and 70% in patients with a disease duration of more than five years. Fatigue in PD has been found to be associated with decreased physical activity, decreased functionality, sleep disorders, gait disturbances, motor findings, autonomic findings, increased levodopa dose, and motor fluctuations. Motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's patients affect the individual's ability to perform activities of daily living independently. Impairments in functional status lead to negative consequences on quality of life. PD affects the individual not only physically, but also psychologically and socially.The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio is a marker of peripheral inflammation. The relationship of peripheral inflammation to quality of sleep, quality of life and fatigue in individuals is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigation fatigue, quality of sleep and quality of life, and the relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in Parkinson's patients.
