Objective: To determine multidimensional impulsivity levels across different early stages of α-synucleinopathy.
Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated motor and decisional impulsivity levels using a panel of computerized tasks among drug-naïve parkinsonism patients, isolated/idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) patients and their first-degree relatives (iRBD-FDRs), and control participants. Trait impulsivity and impulse control behaviors were assessed by self-reported questionnaires.
Objective: Age at onset of neurodegenerative disease has significant implications in differentiating disease profiles. We aimed to determine whether age at onset could identify clinical and neurodegenerative profiles in patients with isolated/idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) - a prodromal stage of α-synucleinopathies.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the time of the first episode of dream-enactment behaviors that the patient/bed-partners recalled at the time of the patient's first visit to sleep clinic was collected.
