Sleep and Overactive Bladder in Parkinson ’s Disease

Patients with Parkinson ’s disease (PD) have disturbances in their bladder and sleep physiology that lead to nocturia and overactive bladder (OAB). These symptoms can be extremely bothersome and impact not only their quality of life (QoL) but also the QoL of their caretakers. We aim to highlight the changes in bladder an d sleep physiology in PD and explore OAB/nocturia treatment strategies in this population.
