Outline of Final Research Achievements

We performed video polysomnography to determine a predictable index for the severity of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and the severity of the physical movement episodes. RBD episodes (RBDEs) in patients with RBD were classified according to their severity into the following three motor events (MEs): ME 1; small movements or thrusts; ME 2; proximal movements including violent acts; ME 3; axial movements including bed falls. For each ME, the number of MEs that were preceded by both RWA (REM sleep without Atonia) and REM sleep in the 10 seconds immediately preceding the onset of ME and the number of MEs that were not preceded by both RWA and REM sleep were measured. In severe RBDE (ME 3), the number of MEs preceded by both RWA and REMs was significantly higher than that of MEs not preceded by both (0.8 vs. 0.2, P = 0.033). This was not the case for mild RBDE (ME 1) and moderate RBDE (ME 2). Our results suggest that both RWA and REMs are associated with the development of severe RBDE.
