The REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ) is a specific questionnaire for rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD) developed by Stiasny-Kolster and team,{{cite journal |vauthors=Stiasny-Kolster K, Mayer G, Schäfer S, Möller JC, Heinzel-Gutenbrunner M, Oertel WH |title=The REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire—A New Diagnostic Instrument.|journal=Movement Disorders|year=2007|volume=22|issue=16|pages=2386–2393|pmid=17894337|doi=10.1002/mds.21740|s2cid=24235371 }} to assess the most prominent clinical features of RBD.{{cite journal|last=Atlas Task Force of the American Sleep Disorders Association (ASDA)|title=The International Classification of Sleep Disorders— Diagnostic and Coding Manual.|journal=Minnesota: Rochester|year=2005}} It is a 10-item, patient self-rating instrument with short questions to be answered by either 'yes' or 'no'. The validity of the questionnaire was studied by researchers and they have observed it to perform with high sensitivity and reasonable specificity in the diagnosis of RBD.{{cite journal|last=Nomura|first=Takashi|author2=Inoue, Yuichi |author3=Kagimura, Tatsuo |author4=Uemura, Yusuke |author5= Nakashima, Kenji |title=Utility of the REM sleep behavior disorder screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) in Parkinson's disease patients|journal=Sleep Medicine|date=August 2011|volume=12|issue=7|pages=711–713|doi=10.1016/j.sleep.2011.01.015|pmid=21700495}}{{cite journal|last=Miyamoto|first=Tomoyuki|author2=Miyamoto, Masayuki |author3=Iwanami, Masaoki |author4=Kobayashi, Mina |author5=Nakamura, Masaki |author6=Inoue, Yuichi |author7=Ando, Chiharu |author8= Hirata, Koichi |title=The REM sleep behavior disorder screening questionnaire: Validation study of a Japanese version|journal=Sleep Medicine|date=December 2009|volume=10|issue=10|pages=1151–1154|doi=10.1016/j.sleep.2009.05.007|pmid=19604719}}{{cite journal|last=Nihei|first=Yoshihiro |author2=Takahashi, Kazushi |author3=Koto, Atsuo |author4=Mihara, Ban |author5=Morita, Yoko |author6=Isozumi, Kazuo |author7=Ohta, Kouichi |author8=Muramatsu, Kazuhiro |author9=Gotoh, Jun |author10=Yamaguchi, Keiji |author11=Tomita, Yutaka |author12=Sato, Hideki |author13=Seki, Morinobu |author14=Iwasawa, Satoko |author15=Suzuki, Norihiro |title=REM sleep behavior disorder in Japanese patients with Parkinson's disease: a multicenter study using the REM sleep behavior disorder screening questionnaire|journal=Journal of Neurology|date=10 January 2012|volume=259|issue=8|pages=1606–1612|doi=10.1007/s00415-011-6386-1|pmid=22231870|s2cid=10980181 }}

Use

RBDSQ has the potential to be useful as a screening instrument for neurodegenerative disorder, such as the α-synucleinopathies, Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy which may enable early diagnosis and also recruitment of people with RBD necessary for research studies.

Format

RBDSQ contains a set of 10 items that are to be answered by either 'yes' or 'no'. Items 1 to 4 address the frequency and content of dreams and their relationship to nocturnal movements and behavior. Item 5 asks about self-injuries and injuries of the

bed partner. Item 6 consists of four subitems assessing nocturnal motor behavior more specifically, e.g., questions

about nocturnal vocalization, sudden limb movements, complex movements, or bedding items that fell down. Items 7 and 8 deal with nocturnal awakenings. Item 9 focuses on disturbed sleep in general and item 10 on the presence of any neurological disorder. The maximum total score of the RBDSQ is 13 points.
