We reported previously that behavior suggestive of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) was markedly increased in a small population of SCA‐3 patients. We, therefore, asked patients and nonpatient attendees at an SCA‐3 annual clinic to complete a questionnaire soliciting RBD‐like behavior. Our results support the previous observation that RBD‐like behaviors are significantly increased in SCA‐3. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society
