Melatonin therapy for REM sleep behavior disorder [PDF]

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 2001
AbstractRapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia with clinical symptoms that include punching, kicking, yelling and leaping out of bed in sleep. Polysomnographic (PSG) finding showed REM sleep without muscle atonia. Clonazepam is generally used for treating RBD symptoms but melatonin was reported to be effective so we ...

Risk of Neurodegeneration in Patients with Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder

Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2022
I discussed the risk of phenoconversions from idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). Comorbidity with iRBD, such as obstructive sleep apnea, may accerelate the risk of α-synuclein-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Brainstem and spinal cord circuitry regulating REM sleep and muscle atonia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Previous work has suggested, but not demonstrated directly, a critical role for both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons of the pontine tegmentum in the regulation of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.To determine the in vivo roles of these fast-acting ...

Smartphone motor testing to distinguish idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder, controls, and PD

Neurology, 2018
Objective We sought to identify motor features that would allow the delineation of individuals with sleep study-confirmed idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) from controls and Parkinson disease (PD) using a customized smartphone application ...

NREM Sleep EEG Oscillations in Idiopathic REM Sleep Behavior Disorder: A study of sleep spindles and slow oscillations.

Sleep, 2020
STUDY OBJECTIVES We investigated electroencephalographic (EEG) slow oscillations (SOs), sleep spindles (SSs), and their temporal coordination during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD ...

Clinical Overview of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder [PDF]

Seminars in Neurology, 2017
AbstractRapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by loss of muscle atonia during REM sleep that allows motor responses to dream content. Patients display patterns of unusual, complex, and even violent motor activities. There is a high risk for harm to the patients or their bedpartners.

Sleep in Genetically Confirmed Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration: A Video-Polysomnographic Study

Parkinson's Disease, 2010
Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a familial or sporadic disease characterized by extrapyramidal and corticospinal signs with dementia. Patients show iron accumulation in the basal ganglia, with neuronal loss and gliosis.

Post-traumatic stress disorder increases odds of REM sleep behavior disorder and other parasomnias in Veterans with and without comorbid traumatic brain injury.

Sleep, 2019
STUDY OBJECTIVES Describe the crude prevalence of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Veterans, given potential relationships between TBI, PTSD, RBD ...
