Description
Sadri and colleagues validated in 2025 a Persian version of a screening questionnaire for REM sleep behavior disorder. In this disorder, people act out dreams, and it often precedes diseases like Parkinson's. Their study enrolled patients and healthy controls at Tehran sleep centres. The translated questionnaire was checked for internal consistency and repeat reliability.
Scores were highly consistent, and a cutoff separated cases from non-cases with perfect sensitivity and strong specificity in their sample. The authors say the tool can improve first sleep assessments for Persian speakers. They recommend testing it in broader patient groups before wide use.
