First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This observational study surveys 150 people with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) and their caregivers. iRBD causes people to act out dreams during sleep and is linked to future brain diseases. The study asks about their emotional well-being, access to information, and support needs. Results may help improve care and resources for these families.
