Abstract

Objectives: Studies documenting the association between rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and motor subtypes in Parkinson's disease (PD) are rare. Our hypothesis is that RBD may be more severe in non-tremor dominant (NTD) patients with RBD than those tremor dominant (TD) with RBD. In this study, we investigated the association between motor subtypes and clinical RBD in PD.
