Video Summary

Thank you all for attending our educational event on RBD, past, present, and future. This is part one of a two-part series in which we will discuss the clinical aspects of RBD, including diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment. Part two of the series will be held on Tuesday, May 25th at 9:00 a.m. Central Time. We are delighted to have had over 350 attendees from around the world register for today's event. Today's session consisted of three pre-recorded talks, followed by a live Q&A session. The talks covered topics such as the history and epidemiology of RBD, the diagnostic criteria and scoring of EMG activity, as well as the role of medication and other factors in RBD management. The presenters emphasized the importance of polysomnography in establishing a definitive diagnosis of RBD, and caution against relying solely on clinical grounds. Treatment options discussed included medications such as melatonin and clonazepam, as well as other non-pharmacological measures to ensure safety and prevent injury during RBD episodes. The speakers also touched on the association between RBD and neurodegenerative diseases, and the need for further research in this area. Thank you again for joining us, and we look forward to part two of the series.
