Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates muscle atonia during REM sleep in patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and narcolepsy to refine diagnostic criteria.
  • Polysomnography recordings of 16 RBD patients, 15 narcolepsy patients, and 19 controls were analyzed, revealing specific electromyographic cut-off values for distinguishing these disorders.
  • Results showed that RBD patients had significantly higher rates of REM sleep without atonia, particularly increasing in the second half of the night, unlike the relatively stable levels in narcolepsy patients.
