Autonomic dysfunction is common and often underrecognized in Parkinson\'s disease (PD). Orthostatic hypotension (OH) affects up to a third of PD patients and often coincides with supine hypertension. This co-occurrence complicates pharmacological treatment as treatment of one can negatively affect the other. Head-up tilt sleeping (HUTS) could improve both. This phase II randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of this understudied intervention, leading to optimal implementation strategies.
