[[Rapid Eye Movement sleep]] Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ) is a specific questionnaire for RBD developed by Stiasny-Kolster and team <ref name=Stiasny-Kolster-RBDSQ>{{cite journal|last=Stiasny-Kolster|first=K|coauthors=Mayer G, Scha¨fer S, Mo¨ller 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}}</ref>, to assess the most prominent clinical features of RBD according to the International Classification on Sleep Disorders <ref name=icsd>{{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}}</ref>.

Although the performance is good, for a definitive diagnosis [[polysomnography]] is required to definitely rule out differential diagnoses such as sleep-related epileptic seizures, non-REM parasomnias (e.g., sleepwalking), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or nocturnal periodic leg movements (PLM)<ref name=icsd>{{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}}</ref>.
==Contents==
RBDSQ conatins 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.
==Applications==
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 RBD patients necessary for research studies as well as for therapeutic trials.
