Resumo

Parkinson 's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, involving motor and non -motor symptoms (NMS). Sleep disturbances (SD) are the second most common NMS in PD and include rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD), excessive daytime sleepiness and insomnia. Freezing of gait (FOG) is a gait impairment frequently reported in people with PD greatly hampering functional independence and quality of life. Presence of FOG has been associated with increased frequency and severity of NMS, including SD. Thus, the aim of this study was to systematically review the literature comparing the number of people with FOG in PD with (PD + SD) and without SD (PD -SD). By systematically searching PubMed and Web of Science databases to identify original peer -reviewed articles, 8 studies including 5251 people with PD (2025 PD + SD and 3226 PD -SD) met eligibility criteria and were included in the review. In 6 studies (4 studies investigating RBD, 2 studies investigating overall sleep quality), the group of PD + SD had higher prevalence of FOG compared with PD -SD. Although a limited number of studies, our findings suggest that PD + SD present more frequently FOG than PD -SD. More studies are required to investigate the possible mechanism underlying this association between FOG and sleep. (AU)
