Qualitative Scoring of the Pentagon Test: A Tool for the Identification of Subtle Cognitive Deficits in Isolated REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Patients.

CONCLUSION: QSPT may represent a brief and easy to administer tool for the detection of subtle visuospatial changes in iRBD patients. Furthermore, polysomnographic findings suggest a possible slowdown of electroencephalographic pattern during non-REM sleep in iRBD patients in line with the presence of cognitive decline.
