Syn-Sleep Study

Recruiting

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of the Syn-One Test for identifying patients with idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep disorder (iRBD) that will progress to synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, pure autonomic failure and multiple system atrophy. Your participation will last approximately 2 years.
