Application of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder severity scale in patients with iRBD
Abstract：Objective To study the application of rapid eye movement (REM ) sleep behavior disor-der severity scale in assessment of the clinical features of patients with idiopathic REM sleep be-havior disorder .Methods One hundred and eighteen patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder who underwent video pdysomnography were scored according to the REM sleep behavior disorder severity scale .Results Of the 118 patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder , 47 (39 .8% ) showed typical proximal extremity movements and vocalization ,26 (22 .0% ) dis-played subclinical REM sleep behavior disorder ,28 (23 .7% ) demonstrated distal extremity move-ments and vocalization ,and 17 (14 .4% ) revealed axial movements and vocalization (P<0 .01) .No significant difference was found in sleep parameters between those with typical or subclinical REM sleep behavior disorder (P>0 .05) .Conclusion REM sleep behavior disorder severity scale can be used in assessment of the clinical features of patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder .Different clinical protective measures should be taken and different treatment protocals should be made for patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder according to their clini-cal features .
