In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

ฮฑ-Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, are the second most common neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to progressive motor deterioration, cognitive decline is a key element of the non-motor symptom complex of these diseases. Isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) indicates an early stage of ฮฑ-synucleinopathies, even before relevant motor or cognitive disorders are present. Therapeutic interventions in individuals with iRBD therefore have great preventive potential. In particular, increasing physical activity could have a relevant effect on neurodegenerative processes, including the preservation of cognitive functions. The aim of the study is therefore to investigate the effects of increased physical activity in everyday life on cognitive functions in individuals with iRBD. In this randomized, double-blind, actively
