French Validation of a Severity Scale in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (SEV-TCSP) (SEV-TCSP)

French Validation of a Severity Scale in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

REM (Rapid Eye Movements) Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by episodes of elaborate or violent motor activity during dreams, which can lead to injury and sleep disruption in patient and / or his/her spouse. This is due to the loss of the normal muscle atonia during REM Sleep. RBD is often associated to neurodegenerative diseases, and may even precede them for several years as an early marker. Currently, there is no scale or tool for assessing the severity of RBD. Nevertheless, it is crucial to have a tool of severity when one wants to study the natural evolution of this disorder, as well as the possible effect of a drug in the context of a clinical trial. A Severity Scale of RBD has recently been proposed within the International RBD Study Group and an international validation study in several languages is being considered.

The main objective of this study is to validate a new scale of severity of the REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD Severity Scale or RBDSS) and to characterize its metrological properties, in particular its concurrent validity, internal consistency and reproducibility

  • RBD severity scale for Patient (RBDSS-PT) + Global Clinical Impression-Severity Scale

Visit 2 (J7) : duration : 20 minutes

  • Ongoing treatments
  • RBDSS PT + Global Clinical Impression-Severity Scale (CGI-S-PT)
  • Patient will be given a Weekly Severity Agenda for 4 weeks plus a copy of the RBSSS-PT + Global Clinical Impression-Severity Scale

At home, patients will fill :

D8 à D36 :

• Weekly Severity Agenda (wRBDQ) for 4 weeks

D36 :

  • RBDSS-PT + Clinical Global Impression-Severity These documents will be mailed back in a pre-payed envelop. For the Bed Partners Visit 1 (D0- baseline): duration: 30 minutes
  • Information of and collection of non opposition
  • Collection of socio-demographic data: age, sex, level of education
  • Assessment of cognitive functions: Mini Mental State Examination
  • Verification of inclusion / exclusion criteria
  • Ongoing Treatments
  • RBD severity scale of the bed partner (RBDSS BP)+ Global Clinical Impression-Severity Scale

Visit 2 (D7- retest) : duration : 20 minutes

  • Ongoing treatments
  • RBDSS-BP + Clinical Overall Impression Severity Scale
  • Patient will be given a Weekly Joint Severity Agenda to be completed together with the patient, (wRBDQ) for 4 weeks, plus a copy of the RBDSS-BP + CGI-S-BP

At home: bedpartners will fill:

D8 à D36 :

• Weekly Severity Agenda for 4 weeks, in common with patient

D36 :

• RBDSS-BP + Impression Global Clinique-Severity scale These documents will be mailed back in a pre-payed envelop.

The scale contains 8 items in the patient version. Each of them focusing on one RBD symptom, are evaluated in terms of their frequency and severity. This scale was administered at Day 0 to evaluate concurrent validity, internal consistency and reproducibility
Day 0

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
French validation of a new scale of severity of REM Sleep behavior disorder for bedpartners
Time Frame: Day 7
The scale contains 6 items in the patient version. After two introductory questions that are not scored, the scale includes items concerning the spouse's RBD symptoms and are evaluated in terms of their frequency and severity. This scale was administered at Day 7 to to evaluate concurrent validity, internal consistency and reproducibility
Day 7
French validation of a new scale of severity of REM Sleep behavior disorder for bedpartners
Time Frame: Day 0
The scale contains 6 items in the patient version. After two introductory questions that are not scored, the scale includes items concerning the spouse's RBD symptoms and are evaluated in terms of their frequency and severity. This scale was administered at Day 0 to to evaluate concurrent validity, internal consistency and reproducibility
Day 0
Evaluation of the psychometric properties of the patient scale according to the etiology of the RBD
Time Frame: Day 7
The total pool of patients will be divided into different groups according to the etiology (RBD-Idiopathic, RBD-parkinsons disease, RBD- Multiple System Atrophy, RBD-Narcolepsy etc.) and the validity in each condition will be evaluated
Day 7
Evaluation of the fluctuations in the frequency and severity of RBD symptoms and their "night-to-night" variability through the collection of daily data over a four-week period
Time Frame: Day 28
In order to control variability of symptoms, patients and their bed partners will complete a Weekly Symptom Diary (weekly-RBD Questionnaire), measuring the frequency and severity of symptoms daily for 4 weeks to determine the fluctuation of symptoms over a long period
Day 28
Evaluation of the RBD severity using Clinical Global Impression-Severity
Time Frame: Day 7
This scale is s the only currently available measure of severity of RBD. It includes 7 categories that are from 1 to 7: Normal (no symptoms), Minimal, Light, Moderate, Marked, Severe, Very Severe
Day 7
