REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a disorder in which people talk or move during their dreaming sleep. People living with RBD often - but not always - develop an overt neurodegenerative disorder, such as Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies or multiple system atrophy.

Join the RBD Registry

The NAPS Consortium on REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) has established a registry for individuals living with RBD, partners and family of someone diagnosed with RBD, and those wanting to learn more about RBD.

This information is used to identify study participants, assist care teams providing care to individuals with RBD and to study RBD treatments and outcomes.

 Our Mission

The purpose of the North American Prodromal Synucleinopathy (NAPS) Consortium is to support clinical care, advance discovery, promote education, and engage our community in order to improve the quality of life and care of individuals living with RBD. Through these efforts, we aim to develop treatments that will delay the onset of, or prevent the development of, neurodegenerative disorders associated with RBD.

In a paper published in The Lancet Neurology, a group of scientists, including NAPS Co-Investigator, Ronald Postuma, MD, MSc (@mcgillu), argue that developing effective treatments for Parkinson’s disease demands a new way of classifying the dis
