This protocol covers the management of Parkinson's disease in patients who concurrently present with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) — a sleep comorbidity that calls for a dedicated, structured clinical approach alongside the primary neurological condition.
REM sleep behavior disorder is the defining comorbidity in this clinical scenario. Its presence alongside Parkinson's disease requires specific evidence-based interventions targeted at sleep safety and symptom management.
The protocol places environmental safety measures at the centre of management. Additional interventions may also be part of the structured regimen — the full evidence-based approach, including selection and sequencing, is available via the link below.
