Nisbet LC, Davey MJ, Nixon GM. Periodic limb movements during sleep in children with neuromuscular disease or cerebral palsy - An important potential contributor to sleep-related morbidity. Sleep Med 2024; 121:58-62. [PMID: 38924830 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2024.06.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Poor sleep is frequently reported in children with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) and cerebral palsy (CP) however breathing disorders during sleep are often the clinical focus. Periodic limb movements (PLMs) have an increased prevalence in adults with NMD and may contribute to sleep disturbance in this population. We assessed the prevalence of PLMs in children with NMD or CP. METHODS Retrospective review of polysomnography (PSG) with leg electromyography in children age 1-18 years with NMD (including Duchenne muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy) or CP performed at a paediatric sleep centre 2004-2022. RESULTS Leg electromyography was available in at least 1 PSG in 239 children (125 NMD, 114 CP), and in 2 PSGs in 105 children (73 NMD, 32 CP). At initial PSG, 72 (30 %) were female with a median age 9y and respiratory disturbance index 3.5/h (interquartile range 1.3-9.9/h). Elevated PLM index (PLMI; >5/h) occurred in 9.6 % of each of the CP and NMD groups, quantified by initial PSG. Overall, PLMI increased from baseline (median 0, maximum 33/h) to follow-up (median 0, maximum 55.8/h; p < 0.05). In those with an elevated PLMI, arousal percentage attributable to PLMs was up to 25 % (median 7.5 %). CONCLUSIONS Elevated PLMI occurred at a higher prevalence in children with NMD and CP than reported in other clinic-referred paediatric populations. It is important that PLMs are not overlooked as identification and treatment may help improve sleep outcomes. Further research is required to understand the pathophysiology and consequences of PLMs specifically in this population.

Orexin and Sleep Disturbances in Alpha-Synucleinopathies: a Systematic Review. Curr Neurol Neurosci Rep 2024; 24:389-412.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sleep disturbances are amongst most frequent non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD), and they are similarly frequently reported in other alpha-syncleinopathies, such as Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). More recently, the orexin system has been implicated in control of arousal based on salient environmental set points, and its dysregulation in sleep issues in alpha-synucleinopathies suggested by the findings from the translational animal models. However, its role in the patients with alpha-synucleinopathies remains unclear. We thus set to systematically review, and to critically assess, contemporary evidence on the association of the orexinergic system and sleep disturbances in alpha-synucleinopathies. In this systematic review, studies investigating orexin and sleep in alpha-synucleinopathies (Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Behaviour Disorder (RBD), Parkinson's Disease (PD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)) were identified using electronic database searches of PubMed, Web of Science and PsychINFO using MeSH terms, keywords, and title words such as "Alpha-synucleinopathies" AND "Orexin" AND "Sleep Disturbances". RECENT FINDINGS 17 studies were included in this systemic review, of which 2 studies on RBD, 10 on PD, 4 on DLB, and 1 on MSA patients. Taken together, RBD and PD studies suggest a potential adaptive increase in orexin levels in early stages of the neurodegenerative process, with reduced levels more often reported for later, more advanced stages of illness. To date, no differences in orexin levels were demonstrated between MSA patients and healthy controls. There is a dearth of studies on the role of orexin levels in alpha-synucleinopathies. Moreover, significant methodologic limitations in the current body of work, including use of non-standardised research protocols and lack of prospective, multi-centre studies, disallow for any finite conclusion in regards to underlying pathomechanisms. Nonetheless, a picture of a complex, multifaceted relationship between the dysregulation of the orexinergic pathway and sleep disturbances in alpha-synucleinopathies is emerging. Hence, future studies disentangling orexinergic pathomechanisms of alpha-syncleinopathies are urgently needed to obtain a more comprehensive account of the role of orexinergic pathway in alpha-synucleinopathies. Pharmacological manipulations of orexins may have multiple therapeutic applications in treatment strategies, disease diagnosis, and might be effective for treating both motor and non-motor symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The relationships among positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS) remain unclear. We investigated these relationships with respect to the severity of OSA and explored the underlying mechanisms. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 6,140 eligible participants who underwent full-night diagnostic polysomnography at four clinical centers over a 5-year period, utilizing event-synchronized analysis. We evaluated the periodic limb movement index (PLMI) and the periodic limb movement with arousal index (PLMAI). The impacts of POSA on the PLMI, PLMAI, and PLMS were analyzed in relation to the severity of OSA. RESULTS The mean PLMI, the mean PLMAI, and the prevalence of PLMS were significantly lower in participants with severe OSA compared to the mild and moderate OSA groups. The mean PLMI among those with mild OSA exceeded that of control participants. Furthermore, the mean PLMI (4.8±12.7 vs. 2.6±9.8 events/hr, P<0.001), the mean PLMAI (0.9±3.7 vs. 0.5±3.3 events/hr, P<0.001), and the prevalence of PLMS (11% vs. 5.3%, P<0.001) were higher in patients with POSA than in those with non-positional OSA. This PLMS finding was particularly pronounced among those with severe OSA (odds ratio [OR], 1.554; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.065-2.267) and was less evident in the mild (OR, 0.559; 95% CI, 0.303-1.030) and moderate (OR, 1.822; 95% CI, 0.995-3.339) groups. CONCLUSION Patients with POSA, especially those with severe OSA, exhibit a comparatively high prevalence of PLMS. In cases involving prominent PLMS, the diagnosis and treatment of POSA and OSA should be considered.

Abstract
Nocturnal and sleep-related motor disorders in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) have a wide spectrum of manifestations and present a complex clinical picture. Problems can arise due to impaired movement ability (hypokinesias), e.g. nocturnal hypokinesia or early-morning akinesia, or to excessive movement (hyperkinesias), e.g. end-of-the-day dyskinesia, parasomnias, periodic limb movement during sleep and restless legs syndrome. These disorders can have a significant negative impact on the sleep, daytime functional ability, and overall quality of life of individuals with PD and their carers. The debilitating motor issues are often accompanied by a combination of non-motor symptoms, including pain and cramping, which add to the overall burden. Importantly, nocturnal motor disorders encompass a broader timeline than just the period of sleep, often starting in the evening, as well as occurring throughout the night and on awakening, and are not just limited to problems of insomnia or sleep fragmentation. Diagnosis can be challenging as, in many cases, the 'gold standard' assessment method is video polysomnography, which may not be available in all settings. Various validated questionnaires are available to support evaluation, and alternative approaches, using wearable sensors and digital technology, are now being developed to facilitate early diagnosis and monitoring. This review sets out the parameters of what can be considered normal nocturnal movement and describes the clinical manifestations, usual clinical or objective assessment methods, and evidence for optimal management strategies for the common nocturnal motor disorders that neurologists will encounter in people with PD in their clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent studies have also linked periodic limb movements during sleep to CVD. We aimed to determine whether periodic limb movements during sleep and obstructive sleep apnea are independent or synergistic factors for CVD events or death. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined data from 1049 US veterans with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) <30 events/hour. The primary outcome was incident CVD or death. Cox proportional hazards regression assessed the relationships between the AHI, periodic limb movement index (PLMI), and the AHI×PLMI interaction with the primary outcome. We then examined whether AHI and PLMI were associated with primary outcome after adjustment for age, sex, race and ethnicity, obesity, baseline risk of mortality, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. During a median follow-up of 5.1 years, 237 of 1049 participants developed incident CVD or died. Unadjusted analyses showed an increased risk of the primary outcome with every 10-event/hour increase in PLMI (hazard ratio [HR], 1.08 [95% CI, 1.05-1.13]) and AHI (HR, 1.17 [95% CI, 1.01- 1.37]). Assessment associations of AHI and PLMI and their interaction with the primary outcome revealed no significant interaction between PLMI and AHI. In fully adjusted analyses, PLMI, but not AHI, was associated with an increased risk of primary outcome: HR of 1.05 (95% CI, 1.00-1.09) per every 10 events/hour. Results were similar after adjusting with Framingham risk score. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed periodic limb movements during sleep as a risk factor for incident CVD or death among those who had AHI <30 events/hour, without synergistic association between periodic limb movements during sleep and obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
The relationship between depression and insomnia is bidirectional and both conditions need to be treated adequately, especially in a vulnerable neurodevelopmental stage of adolescence. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of antidepressant treatment using vortioxetine (VOR) on the sleep architecture of depressed adolescents by using video-polysomnography (v-PSG), which has not been researched before. The v-PSG was performed on 30 adolescent in-patients (mean age of 15.0 years ± 1.5 SD, 21 girls) treated with VOR (dosage of 10/15/20 mg/day) administered orally once a day, before and after VOR treatment. The evaluated parameters were conventional sleep parameters, sleep fragmentation parameters, and selected spectral power indices. Symptoms of depression and insomnia before and after the treatment period were evaluated using valid and reliable questionnaires (the Children´s Depression Inventory and the Athens Insomnia Scale). Depressed adolescents showed higher REM latency and decreased REM sleep percentage after treatment than before the treatment period (p = 0.005, p = 0.009, respectively). Our study revealed REM suppression (increased REM latency and reduced REM sleep percentage), indicating altered sleep architecture as a potential result of VOR treatment, which seems to be dose-dependent.

Abstract
Background Fabry disease (FD) is an X-chromosome-linked disorder characterized by a reduced or complete absence of the enzyme α-galactosidase, resulting in the accumulation of lysosomal globotriaosylceramide. Despite the presence of these deposits in multiple organs, the problem of sleep disorders within this population has very rarely been documented. Objective This study aimed to investigate the types and prevalence of sleep disorders among patients with FD. Methods Screening of the following medical databases using key terms was performed on 10 February 2023: PubMed, Scopus, and Embase. A total of 136 records were identified. The quality assessment of the studies was conducted by using tools from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and critical appraisal tools from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Results The study included nine studies on sleep disorders in patients with FD. The overall quality of the majority of these studies was assessed as either poor or fair. Among 330 patients, there was a slightly higher representation of female patients (56%). Sleep problems manifested 4-5 years after the onset of FD and sometimes even after 10-11 years. Genotypes of disease associated with sleep problems were rarely described. Within the FD population, the most commonly reported conditions were excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) as well as obstructive and central sleep apnea (OSA, CSA). However, EDS occurred more frequently in FD patients, while the prevalence of OSA and CSA was within the ranges observed in the general population. The studies included indicated a lack of association between organ impairment by primary disease and EDS and OSA. The effectiveness of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in treating sleep disorders was not demonstrated. Conclusion The findings of this report revealed the presence of many sleep-related disorders within the FD population. However, very few studies on this subject are available, and their limited results make it difficult to truly assess the real extent of the prevalence of sleep disturbances among these individuals. There is a need to conduct further studies on this topic, involving a larger group of patients. It is important to note that there are no guidelines available for the treatment of sleep disorders in patients with FD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodic Limb Movements during Sleep (PLMS) have been described to be frequently present in stroke patients. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and severity of PLMS in acute stroke patients and clarify the association between PLMS and coexisting Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). Additionally, we focused on identifying variables that could independently predict the presence of PLMS in patients with acute stroke. The potential impact of PLMS on stroke outcome at three months was investigated as well. METHODS In this study, we performed overnight polysomnography on consecutive stroke patients within 72 h from symptom onset. Data regarding clinical and imaging characteristics were prospectively collected. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Epworth-Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were used to evaluate stroke severity on admission, stroke outcome at three months and history of daytime sleepiness, respectively. We documented PLMS and SDB using standard polysomnography criteria. RESULTS We prospectively assessed 126 patients with acute stroke [109 with ischemic and 17 with hemorrhagic stroke, mean age 60 ± 11 years, 68% men, median NIHSS score on admission: 3 (IQR: 2-7)]. The overall rate of PLMS in our cohort was 76%, and the rate of SDB among patients with PLMS was 83%. PLMS detection rates differed significantly (p-value: <0.001) according to SDB, with PLMS prevalence increasing with greater SDB severity. SDB could independently (OR:4.869, 95% CI: 1.884-12.784, p-value: 0.001) predict the presence of PLMS in the acute stroke phase in multivariable analyses adjusting for potential confounders. Moreover, baseline stroke severity (NIHSS-score increase in per-1 point: OR: 0.819, 95% CI: 0.737-0.895, p-value < 0.001) and PLMS (OR:0.099, 95% CI: 0.009-0.482, p-value = 0.015) were significantly associated with the likelihood of excellent functional outcome (mRS-scores: 0-1) at 3 months. CONCLUSION The common presence of mostly severe PLMS in patients with acute stroke and their negative effect on stroke outcomes point out the necessity for early PLMS detection and treatment.

Periodic leg movements during sleep and cognitive functioning in the older general population. Sleep Med 2023; 109:197-201. [PMID: 37473717 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2023.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current evidence of a relationship between periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS) and cognitive functioning is limited and inconsistent. This cross-sectional study assessed associations between PLMS and cognitive functioning among community-dwelling older adults. METHODS We included community-dwelling older adults who underwent a polysomnography and a cognitive assessment. The PLMS index (PLMI) and PLMS arousal index (PLMAI) were categorized into tertiles: PLMI <5/h (reference), 5-29.9/h, ≥30/h; and PLMAI <1/h (reference), 1-4.9/h, ≥5/h. The cognitive assessment consisted of ten scores covering the main cognitive domains: global cognition, processing speed, executive function, language, episodic verbal memory, and visuospatial function. Associations between PLMI, PLMAI, and cognitive scores were assessed using regression unadjusted and adjusted models. RESULTS A total of 579 individuals without dementia were included (mean age: 71.5 ± 4.4 years; men 45.4%). The number of participants in the high-PLMI categories, 5-29.9/h and ≥30/h, was 185 (32.0%) and 171 (29.5%), respectively. Participants in the high-PLMI categories showed no significant difference compared to the reference group regarding their cognitive performance according to the unadjusted and adjusted models. Similarly, we found no association between PLMAI severity and cognitive functioning. CONCLUSIONS This study shows no cross-sectional association between PLMS severity and cognitive functioning among community-dwelling older adults. However, given the paucity of data in this field, further studies are needed to clarify the relationship between PLMS and cognitive functioning.

Abstract
Sleep disorders in older adults increase with aging, likely due to increased sleep latency, decreased sleep efficiency, and total sleep time. Common sleep issues include chronic insomnia, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, sleep-related movement disorders, and sleep-disordered breathing. Diagnostic tools, such as a comprehensive sleep history and questionnaires, or a sleep log for more specific complaints, are commonly used. Polysomnography is not recommended as a routine test; however, it can be used for abnormal behaviors during sleep or if treatment fails. Sleep disorder management is based on the etiology and may include nonpharmacological and pharmacological alternative treatments. For example, nonpharmacological management for chronic insomnia and some sleep disorders may consist of cognitive behavioral therapy, sleep hygiene education, relaxation therapy, sleep restriction, light therapy, and stimulus control therapy. Because the quality of evidence for pharmacological treatment is poor, the medication choice should be based on shared decision-making between the practitioner and the patient, with limited prescription.

Abstract
This systematic review aims to assess the association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Databases were searched for original articles that reported prevalence data on ADHD and RLS until January 24th, 2023. Two independent reviewers evaluated the quality of the articles using the National Institutes of Health assessment tool. Among the 208 articles identified between 1996 and 2022, 29 were included. In large general population studies, 2.6-15.3% of participants met the RLS criteria, of which 3.2-17.4% presented with ADHD. In the ADHD group, RLS symptoms ranged from 11 to 42.9% in children and 20-33.0% in adults. This suggests a strong co-occurrence between RLS and ADHD. A common characteristic of these conditions is sleep fragmentation, as discussed in the reviewed papers. Although large-scale studies with comparable diagnostic criteria across the lifespan are required, our findings may advocate a possible common physiological pathway, including sleep fragmentation and dopaminergic system impairment.

Abstract
Sleep disorders commonly afflict infants, children, and adolescents and have a significant adverse impact on them and their families, sometimes to a severe degree. They can cause immediate stress and suffering and long-term loss of opportunities and potential. Many of these disorders can be well managed by the psychologist and often one is required, either as the sole provider or as an integral part of a team. Sleep disorders have a bidirectional interplay with mental health disorders. The patient may therefore present initially to the psychologist, primary care provider, or the sleep medicine specialist.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Sechs bis zehn Prozent aller Patienten mit einer obstruktiven Schlafapnoe leiden trotz adäquater nächtlicher Überdrucktherapie oder einer effektiven Alternativtherapie an einer residualen exzessiven Tagesschläfrigkeit (rETS). Die Differentialdiagnose der rETS stellt im klinischen Alltag eine interdisziplinäre Herausforderung dar.
Fragestellung
Entwicklung eines übersichtlichen Leitfadens für die Erkennung, die differentialdiagnostischen Abwägungen und die Möglichkeiten der weiterführenden Behandlung der rETS in der klinischen Praxis.
Material und Methode
MeSH-Analyse basierte Recherche und interdisziplinäre Abstimmung von Fachvertreter:innen der Inneren Medizin und Pneumologie, Neurologie sowie Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie.
Ergebnisse
SPAIN-Checkliste zur systematischen differentialdiagnostischen Exploration der rETS mit den Parametern: S chlafverhalten, P sychische Ursachen, A namnese der Medikation, I nternistische Ursachen und N eurologische Ursachen.
Schlussfolgerungen
Die rETS sollte als behandlungswürdiges Symptom erkannt werden. Sie verlangt nach einer interdisziplinären Abklärung und der individuellen Abstimmung der Behandlung auf die Bedürfnisse der Betroffenen.
