NCT ID NCT06270290
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study is recruiting 140 people to see if a history of concussions or playing contact sports is more common in those with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) compared to those without. RBD causes people to physically act out their dreams. Participants will answer questions about past head injuries and sports. The goal is to understand possible links, not to test a treatment.

What this could lead to
If this study finds a link, it could point to head injuries as a risk factor for RBD, helping with earlier detection or prevention.
What could go wrong
