Sleep Spindle Characteristics in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS)

Background: We compared the density and duration of sleep spindles topographically in stage 2 3 non-rapid eye movement (N2 N3) among adults diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) healthy controls. Materials Methods: Thirty-one individuals OSAS (mean age: 48.50 years) 23 controls took part study. All participants underwent a whole night polysomnography. Additionally, those were divided into mild, moderate severe cases OSAS. Results: For N2, spindle did not significantly differ between without OSAS, or N3, post-hoc analyses revealed higher densities mild than Last, N2 AHI was associated shorter duration. Conclusion: is lower N3 N2. Our results also that, contrast to characteristics very similar
