Phase N/A

This study looks at people with a condition called **REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD)**, where they act out dreams, and compares them with healthy people. RBD can sometimes lead to diseases like Parkinson's. The goal is to prepare for a trial to find treatments to protect the brain from these diseases, known as **synucleinopathies**. Participants will undergo tests like questionnaires, blood draws, and scans. RBD participants will also have two overnight sleep studies. The study gathers important data to create a list of participants ready for future trials and to find markers that indicate the diseases before symptoms appear.

  • The study involves multiple tests, including sleep studies for those with RBD.
  • Participants must be over 18, able to consent, and meet specific health criteria.
  • Some procedures, like lumbar punctures, are optional for RBD participants but required for controls.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
