Polysomnographic and quantitative electroencephalographic correlates of subjective sleep complaints in chronic tinnitus.

چکیده
Chronic tinnitus, or the perception of hearing sounds without the presence of external stimulation, is estimated at about 10-15% of the population, with highest prevalence after 50 years of age. Sleep complaints are among the most prominent complaints accompanying tinnitus, but objective data are rare. In this study, we examined prospectively the subjective and objective sleep parameters of this patient population in order to determine differences in sleep disturbances associated with chronic tinnitus compared to matched controls. Forty-four subjects (22 with tinnitus and 22 controls without tinnitus), unselected with respect to sleep complaints, participated in this study. The analysis involved 1-week sleep diaries, subjective sleep questionnaires and 1 night of polysomnographic (PSG) assessment. Compared to matched controls, the tinnitus group showed lower subjective sleep quality as measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and sleep diaries, but no significant difference in objective polysomnograph sleep parameters (i.e. sleep latency, efficiency). However, quantitative non-rapid eye movement sleep analysis revealed lower spectral power in the delta frequency band in the tinnitus group compared to controls, and this decrease was correlated with subjective sleep complaints (the lower the delta spectral power, the greater the complaints). This is the first report of an electrophysiological correlate of sleep difficulties supportive of subjective sleep complaints in the tinnitus population.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS) is a common disorder in the general population. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a frequent symptom in patients with OSA. Obstructive sleep apnea and its resultant EDS lead to an increased risk of deadly motor vehicle accidents. In this study the relationship between EDS and different polysomnographic variables in patients sufferinf from...
