Factors associated with phenoconversion of idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder: a prospective study.

This study explores the effect of risk factors on the progression of idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) to α-synucleinopathies in a Chinese cohort. Patients with iRBD were enrolled and assessed for environmental factors and lifestyle using standardized structured questionnaires at baseline. All patients were prospectively followed for phenoconversion monitoring.

Fatigue in Patients with Idiopathic/Isolated REM Sleep Behavior Disorder.

Introduction: Fatigue is one of the most common and disabling symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The occurrence and clinical features of fatigue in patients with prodromal PD remain largely elusive. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of fatigue in patients with idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorders (iRBD).
