Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep latency (time from sleep onset to the first REM episode) was measured in 39 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Reduced REM sleep latency (less than or equal to 65.0 min) was found in a high proportion of patients (69%). Since reduced REM sleep latency may be a trait-like abnormality relatively specific to primary depression, we evaluated this parameter in two groups of parkinsonian patients: depressed (16 patients) and non-depressed (23 patients). Its incidence was significantly higher in depressed patients with Parkinson's disease.

D010300 Parkinson Disease A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.
