ALLMedicine™ REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Center

Jan 6th, 2022 - To identify a fast and reliable method for rapid eye movement (REM) sleep without atonia (RWA) quantification. We analyzed 36 video-polysomnographies (v-PSGs) of isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) patients and 35 controls' v-PSGs. Patient...

Jan 5th, 2022 - To follow up predictive factors for α-synuclein-related neurodegenerative diseases in a multicenter cohort of idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). Patients with iRBD from 12 centers underwent a detailed assessment for potential ...

Jan 3rd, 2022 - To determine whether the onset of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is associated with changes in brainstem neuronal pathway dysfunction as reflected by vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) and to evaluate association...

Jan 1st, 2022 - To examine patient preferences regarding prognostic counseling for idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). Idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) carries an approximate 73-91% long term risk for phenoconversion to d...

Dec 30th, 2021 - Isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is one of the earliest manifestations of α synucleinopathies. Brainstem pathophysiology underlying REM sleep behavior disorder has been described in animal models, yet it is understu...

Mar 3rd, 2010 - Modifying the sleep environment is recommended for the treatment of patients with RBD who have sleep-related injury. Level A Clonazepam is suggested for the treatment of RBD but should be used with caution in patients with dementia, gait disorders...

Dec 23rd, 2021 - Many people with idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) have an underlying synucleinopathy, the most common of which are Parkinson's disease (PD) and Lewy body disease. Identifying additional abnormal clinical features m...

Aug 6th, 2021 - REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by abnormal behavioral manifestations during REM sleep. Accumulating evidence suggests that RBD is implicated as an integral part of disease progress of α-synucleinopathy neurodegener...

Aug 6th, 2021 - REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by dream enactment behaviors and REM sleep without muscle atonia (excessive EMG activity) during REM sleep.Increasing studies revealed that iRBD eventually converts to α-synucleinopat...

Jul 28th, 2021 - The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term effects of treatment with the adrenergic blocker carvedilol on serial DaTscan, a dopamine transporter (DAT) single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) imaging technique in a pop...

May 26th, 2021 - REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a novel REM sleep parasomnia characterized by dream enacting behaviors and sleep-related injuries. Ample evidences have suggested that idiopathic RBD (iRBD) is a precursor of α-synucleinopathy neurodegeneration...

Apr 27th, 2021 - People who reported sleeping an average of 6 hours or less when they were 50 or older were 30% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia late in life compared with those who regularly slept 7 hours, a study of nearly 8,000 people showed. (Nature C...

Sep 30th, 2020 - Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is surprisingly common in athletes and may signal chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) caused by brainstem tau and Lewy body pathologies, new research suggests. CTE is a neurodegenerative disorder...

Jun 12th, 2020 - Patients with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at increased risk for altered REM sleep without atonia (RSWA), new research suggests. Atonia is the normal temporary paralysis of arms and legs that occurs during REM sleep; RSWA is ch...

Nov 12th, 2019 - Veterans may be at higher risk of idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorders, particularly if they have traumatic brain injury (TBI) or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) according to a paper published in Sleep. ©marcociannarel/Think.

Dec 27th, 2018 - Previously unreported links between possible REM sleep behavior disorder (pRBD) and alcohol use, and psychological distress emerged in a nationwide Canadian study, researchers reported. Heavy drinking, smoking, antidepressant use, psychological di...
