Approximately 43% of patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) will develop Parkinson's disease and 25% with Lewy body dementia. The long-term clinical trial of RBD patients showed over 90% risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases. REM sleep behavior disease is characterized by the enactment of dreams, involving complex motor functions. The disease is now considered a prodrome to Parkinson’s disease. In the future, it is recommended for researchers to investigate the potential of REM sleep without tension as a clinical indication of neurodegenerative diseases, for which physicians can rely on to detect diseases for early intervention and treatment.
