Abstract
The circadian system may play a significant role in the multifactorial nature of Parkinson's disease (PD).
- Parkinson's disease is associated with diurnal fluctuations in both motor and nonmotor symptoms.
- Emerging evidence suggests that circadian rhythms could influence these fluctuations in PD.
- Intervening with circadian function may offer new strategies for treating symptoms and slowing disease progression.
- Existing literature on circadian research in PD indicates a growing interest in this area.
