“…In individual patients, SDB could be related to rigidity of muscles of the chest wall, restricted lung volumes secondary to changes in posture/kyphoscoliosis, or altered flow volume loop due to 4-8Hz oscillations in upper airway muscles[274,275]. Interestingly, there was no increase in sleep apnea in PD patients with camptocormia[276].…”

“…Biologic plausibility exists for PD itself being involved in OSA pathogenesis. The upper airway musculature may be affected by involuntary movements resulting in abnormal spirometry consistent with upper airway obstruction [ 54 ], which improves with levodopa [ 55 ]. These disturbances may be exacerbated in sleep, resulting in OSA.…”

“…Larger randomized studies are needed to confirm these results and assess feasibility and safety of MAD in this population. Upper airway obstruction can also respond to levodopa [139][140][141][142][143]. Supporting this hypothesis, our group found that night-time treatment with long acting levodopa was associated with reduced OSA severity in PD patients, suggesting it could be a potential alternative to PAP therapy [144].…”

“…The other subtype exhibits a more obstructive pattern on spirometry due to upper airway muscle instability [138]. Upper airway obstruction during wakefulness can respond to levodopa [139][140][141][142][143]. PD-related upper airway dysfunction can contribute to a sleep-associated decrease in upper airway dilator activity and stability, further predisposing to OSA.…”
