Development and Validation of a clinical scale for defining RBD severity in participants of the North American Prodromal Synucleinopathy (NAPS) consortium

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is a prodromal marker of α‐synucleinopathies with no standardized tool for assessing severity in clinical or research practice. RBD severity may have implications in measuring risk of phenoconversion, monitoring response to treatment and clinical trial design. This study assessed the validity of the RBD symptom severity scale (RBDSSS) and its correlation to the clinical global impression of severity (CGI‐S) in a cohort of participants enrolled in the North American Prodromal Synucleinopathy (NAPS) Consortium.
