REM Sleep Behavior Disorder: What factors affect risk of progression to Parkinson pathology?

 
 
 

NAPS Co-Principal Investigator Dr. Brad Boeve teams up again with Dr. Mike Silber, a member of the NAPS Scientific Advisory Board, for another episode on REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) in the Mayo Clinic Sleep Medicine Podcasts.

When we diagnose REM sleep behavior disorder, we know that there is a risk of the development of Parkinson's disease or related conditions. But how great is the risk? In this podcast, we discuss how a healthcare provider can help estimate a patient’s risk with specific questions and examination findings. This episode continues their series dedicated to RBD, so make sure to subscribe for updates on future episodes.
