Behavioral treatment for nightmares in REM sleep behavior disorder
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a behavioral therapy (non-drug treatment) for nightmares in people with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). It's designed for you and a family member who lives with you.

This study looks at how the brain changes (“neuroplasticity”) in people diagnosed with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) using brain stimulation and other testing. Results may help researchers understand brain differences in iRBD and guide future treatments.
This study looks at the needs of people with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) and the people close to them. It aims to understand how this condition affects daily life and relationships.
This study looks at people with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), confirmed by a sleep test, who may be in the early “prodromal” stage before Parkinson’s or related diseases. It also enrolls healthy controls to compare results from brain and body testing to better understand who is at risk.
This study looks at people diagnosed with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (a sleep problem where you act out dreams) and tries to predict who may later develop another condition related to Parkinson’s. If you qualify and consent, you may be followed to understand risk factors and improve early identification.
This trial looks at whether people with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) have more concussions or contact sports history than people without RBD, to see if head injuries might be linked to the condition.
