Summary

This early pilot study tested whether a daily 20 mg dose of tasimelteon, a medication that mimics melatonin, could reduce dream-enacting behaviors in people with REM behavior disorder. Researchers planned to enroll 20 adults with a confirmed diagnosis and track symptoms using sleep diaries and questionnaires. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
