Periodic leg movements during sleep and sleep disturbances in elders.
BACKGROUND Periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are an increasingly pervasive disturbance for aging adults. The aims of this experiment were: (a) to describe the index of periodic limb movements in sleep (myoclonus index [MI] in elderly subjects with complaints of poor sleep or depression (N = 22; 68 +/- 5.5 SD years); and (b) to correlate MI with sleep history, depression scores, and object...
متن کاملAssessing Periodicity of Periodic Leg Movements During Sleep
BACKGROUND Periodic leg movements (PLM) during sleep consist of involuntary periodic movements of the lower extremities. The debated functional relevance of PLM during sleep is based on correlation of clinical parameters with the PLM index (PLMI). However, periodicity in movements may not be reflected best by the PLMI. Here, an approach novel to the field of sleep research is used to reveal int...
متن کاملSleep disturbances associated with periodic leg movements in chronic sarcoidosis.
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE WORK Many sarcoidosis patients suffer from fatigue and sleep disturbances. Recently, it was demonstrated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is rather common in sarcoidosis. Moreover, sheet intolerance and painful legs are frequently reported in sarcoidosis patients. These symptoms might interfere with sleep quality. METHODS In order to determine the relationship betw...
متن کاملTime course of arousal response during periodic leg movements in patients with periodic leg movements and restless legs syndrome.
OBJECTIVE The temporal evolution of periodic leg movements (PLM) and the relationship of their arousing effect on sleep episode has not been extensively investigated. We studied the nocturnal evolution of PLM associated or not with microarousal (MA) and associated with slow wave activity (PLM with slow wave activity) in 23 patients with PLM and/or restless legs syndrome (RLS). METHODS All sub...
متن کاملRestless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movements of Sleep.
Restless leg syndrome is one of the most common causes of severe insomnia, and is easily diagnosed by patient history alone. Formal sleep studies are rarely, if ever, indicated. The only routine laboratory study indicated is a serum ferritin level. The majority of patients with restless leg syndrome obtain substantial relief with a variety of medications. Although the majority of restless leg s...
