Cabergoline in Parkinson's disease: long-term follow-up.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by loss of atonia during REM sleep, resulting in motor activity during dreams. Studies estimate that approximately half of patients with RBD will eventually develop Parkinson disease (PD), so RBD may be an indicator of presymptomatic PD. Several p...
