Read our Parkinson Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is investigating whether advanced computer analysis of brain imaging can help predict which people with REM sleep behavior disorder—a sleep condition where people act out their dreams—will go on to develop Parkinson's disease or similar conditions. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to study the imaging scans and look for early warning signs of disease progression. The goal is to create a reliable tool that can identify patients at highest risk before symptoms appear.
REM sleep behavior disorder is known to increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, but doctors currently cannot predict which patients will progress. This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence method that can analyze brain imaging to spot early patterns of disease and help identify patients who need closer monitoring or earlier treatment.

You will meet with movement disorder specialists who will perform a clinical evaluation to confirm your diagnosis and assess your neurological health. You will undergo two imaging procedures of your brain to gather data for the artificial intelligence analysis. The study involves systematic follow-up visits to track how your condition changes over time and to collect the information needed to develop the prediction tool.
