Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder

Rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD) is parasomnia strongly linked to neurodegenerative diseases, and it can also be very disturbing and lead to injury requiring medical attention. RBD can be divided into three categories: idiopathic RBD, drug-induced RBD, and secondary RBD due to a medical condition. The diagnosis requires confirmation by an in-laboratory sleep study (polysomnography) with video recording, which helps assert abnormal behaviors during REM sleep and excludes other sleep disorders. This activity describes the evaluation and management of RBD and highlights the role of the healthcare team in improving care for patients with this condition.
