Abstract
Purpose:We investigated non-pharmacological interventions such as sleep management and dietary adjustment for a patient with Parkinson’s disease (PD) who experienced excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), which limited his ADL. Case:A 60-year-old male patient with H&Y severity class 3 PD developed EDS during daytime rehabilitation, which limited his ADL. Methods:The patient and his family were instructed on nighttime and daytime sleep management, dietary adjustment, and step-by-step exercise therapy. Results:The UPDRS Part 3 score improved from 50 to 41, and the PDSS 2 score improved from 43 to 21. Conclusion:The patient’s lifestyle was corrected with the cooperation of her family, and exercise therapy was conducted at a daytime rehabilitation center, which reduced EDS and improved activities of daily living.
