Detailed Description
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a rare disorder where people act out their dreams. People with RBD often, but not always, develop Parkinson's Disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy, or other neurodegenerative diseases of the synucleinopathy type. The North American Prodromal Synucleinopathy (NAPS) Consortium was formed with the purpose of enrolling participants with RBD, in anticipation of a future clinical trial of a neuroprotective treatment against synucleinopathies. The NAPS Consortium will collect standardized clinical assessments, biofluids, and other data in order to develop biomarkers for synucleinopathies in the prodromal (presymptomatic) stage as well as a trial-ready registry of participants. Participants procedures will include a ~2-hour clinical assessment (medical history and physical exam), questionnaires, blood draw, and (at select sites) optional lumbar puncture.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Prodromal Synucleinopathy Rating Scale [2 years]
Rating scale combining neurocognitive battery, motor, autonomic, olfaction, color vision functions. Global score range 0-3, with higher score indicating greater symptoms of synucleinopathy.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder
Exclusion Criteria:
-
REM sleep behavior disorder secondary to another cause (ex: narcolepsy, dementia, Parkinson's Disease, etc)
-
Other neurological disorder
