TL;DR: This scale meets performance criteria for a brief, patient completed instrument that can be used to assess RLS severity for purposes of clinical assessment, research, or therapeutic trials and supports a finding that RLS is a relatively uniform disorder in which the severity of the basic symptoms is strongly related to their impact on the patient's life.

TL;DR: The work of the AASM Visual Scoring Task Force is described, including methodology, a literature review and the rationale behind the new rules, which define onset and termination of REM sleep periods and propose alternative measures for non-alpha generating subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder: demographic, clinical and laboratory findings in 93 cases.
TL;DR: It is concluded that RBD is a well-defined condition and that descriptions from different centres are fairly consistent, and that attention to the safety of the bed environment may be sufficient for patients with contraindications to the drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Whether rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder occurs in disproportionally greater frequency in multiple system atrophy, Parkinson's disease, and dementia with Lewy bodies, collectively known as the synucleinopathies, compared to other nonsynucleinopathy neurodegenerative disorders is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
