Abstract Purpose Altered serotonergic neurotransmission may contribute to the non-motor features commonly associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD) such as sleep disorders. The 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the intermediate metabolite of l-tryptophan in the production of serotonin and melatonin. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of 5-HTP to placebo on REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) status in patients with PD. Methods A single-center, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial was performed in a selected population of 18 patients with PD and RBD. The patients received a placebo and 50 mg of 5-HTP daily in a crossover design over a period of 4 weeks. Results 5-HTP produced an increase in the total percentage of stage REM sleep without a related increase of RBD episodes, as well as a marginal, non-significant reduction in both arousal index and wake after sleep onset. The self-reported RBD frequency and clinical global impression (CGI) were improved during 5-HTP and placebo treatment in comparison to baseline. 5-HTP significantly improved our patients’ motor experiences of daily living as rated by the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part II. Conclusions This study provides evidence that 5-HTP is safe and effective in improving sleep stability in PD, contributing to ameliorate patients’ global sleep quality. Larger studies with higher doses and longer treatment duration are needed to corroborate these preliminary findings.

Background/Aims: The aim of the present study was to provide normative data and determine the validity of the Czech version of the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale 2 (czDRS-2) in screening for mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) based on the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) Level II criteria. Methods: For validation purposes, 41 healthy controls (HC), 46 patients with PD-NI (Parkinson's disease, no impairment) and 41 patients with PD-MCI (all groups assessed by the MDS Level II criteria for PD-MCI) were matched according to age and education. Results: With screening and diagnostic cutoff scores determined at ≤139 points, the czDRS-2 showed a sensitivity of 78% and a specificity of 88% in the detection of PD-MCI versus HC and a sensitivity of 78% and a specificity of 76% in the detection of PD-MCI versus PD-NI. The AUC (95% confidence interval) for the czDRS-2 was 84% (75-93) and 82% (73-91), respectively. We report percentile values for 286 subjects from the Czech population stratified by education level. Conclusion: Our results show that the czDRS-2 is a valid instrument at Level I for screening PD-MCI and support its construct validity and diagnostic equivalence in a cross-cultural setting.
