Observational Cross-sectional Study Investigating the History of Concussion and Exposure to Contact Sports in Patients With REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder (RBD) Versus Controls (Without a Diagnosis of RBD)

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The goal of this observational study is to investigate concussions and contact sports practices in REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the proportion of patients with RBD that have a history of concussions or exposure to contact sports? * Is this proportion higher to that in control patients without a diagnosis of RBD? Participants will undergo an interview with a sleep medicine specialist to answer questions about history of concussions and contact sports practices. Researchers will compare an RBD group and a control group (without RBD) to see if the proportion of concussions and exposure to contact sports differ.

Sex: All
Minimum Age: 50
Healthy Volunteers: t
View:

• Patient at the SDC with diagnosis of RBD (Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust).

• 50 years of age or above (patients below this age would not be expected to have a RBD related to a synucleinopathy and other causes of RBD would need to be considered instead - e.g. narcolepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder).

• Patients who have undergone a v-PSG at the SDC (Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust) and who do not have history of suspected RBD or RBD confirmed by v-PSG.

• 50 years of age or above This group will be age- and sex-matched to the RBD group.
