REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Narcolepsy

CNS & Neurological Disorders - Drug Targets, 2009
REM (rapid eye movement) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a well known parasomnia [1]. Its first description in humans dates back to 1985, and its first description in narcoleptic patients to 1992. Although the precise pathophysiology of RBD remains unclear, it is likely, in the case of RBD associated with narcolepsy, that the altered function of ...

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

2015
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) was formally identified and named in 1986–1987 and is characterized by loss of REM sleep atonia with the release of complex, aggressive, and violent behaviors that are often simultaneous enactments of abnormal dreams involving confrontation by unfamiliar people and animals, with the dreamer rarely ...

Impulse Control Disorders in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2019
This paper reviews clinical and pathophysiological features of both impulse control disorders (ICDs) and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in Parkinson's disease (PD), as well as current evidences of their association. Then, we suggest recommendations to manage PD patients with RBD in order to prevent this potentially devastating psychiatric ...

Sleep Medicine Clinics, 2011
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a REMsleep-related parasomnia, characterized by dream-enacted behaviors ranging from simple vocalizations or mumbling sleep talk to full-blown violent behaviors leading to injuries of the patient and/or the bed partner.

The effects of pramipexole in REM sleep behavior disorder

Neurology, 2003
The authors evaluated the effects of pramipexole, a dopaminergic D2-D3 receptor agonist, on eight patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder. Five patients reported a sustained reduction in the frequency or intensity of sleep motor behaviors, which was confirmed by video recording, although no change was observed for the percentage of phasic ...

Pathophysiologic mechanisms in REM sleep behavior disorder

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2007
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a fascinating experiment in nature predicted by animal studies in 1964. A defining feature of REM sleep is active paralysis of all somatic musculature (sparing the diaphragm to permit respiration). RBD is characterized by the absence of REM atonia, permitting the appearance of dream-enacting behaviors. These oneiric

Update on the pharmacology of REM sleep behavior disorder

Neurology, 2006
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by complex behavioral manifestations in response to dream content that may cause sleep disruption or injuries to the patient or the bed partner. In this case, the patients need treatment to control their symptoms.

Revue neurologique, 2003
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia which occurs only during REM sleep. RBD is characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle atonia, which is the principal feature of REM sleep, and by abnormal behavior representing the attempted enactment of dreaming.

[REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and dissociated REM sleep].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 1998
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by the appearance of somnambulism-like behavior associated with dream mentation, and the intermittent loss of muscle atonia during REM sleep (stage 1-REM with tonic EMG; stage 1-REM). RBD is caused symptomatically or idiopathically, and its manifestation of symptoms sometimes associated with ...
