[PMID: 37316556 PMCID: PMC10421812 DOI: 10.1007/s00415-023-11807-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Among people with Parkinson's disease (PD), non-motor symptoms (NMS) are a well-recognised cause of significant morbidity and poor quality of life. Yet, it is only more recently that NMS have been recognised to affect the lives of patients with atypical parkinsonian syndromes in a similar fashion. The aim of this article is to highlight and compare the relative prevalence of NMS among patients with atypical parkinsonian syndromes in the published literature, which largely remain underreported and unaddressed in routine clinical practice. All NMS that are recognised to occur in PD are also found to commonly occur in atypical parkinsonian syndromes. In particular, excessive daytime sleepiness is more prevalent among atypical parkinsonian syndromes (94.3%) compared to PD (33.9%) or normal controls (10.5%) (p < 0.001). Urinary dysfunction (not limited to urinary incontinence) is not only found to occur in MSA (79.7%) and PD (79.9%), but has also been reported in nearly half of the patients with PSP (49.3%), DLB (42%) and CBD (53.8%) (p < 0.001). Apathy is significantly more common among the atypical parkinsonian syndromes [PSP (56%), MSA (48%), DLB (44%), CBD (43%)] compared to PD (35%) (p = 0.029). Early recognition and addressing of NMS among atypical parkinsonian syndromes may help improve the holistic patient care provided and may encompass a range of conservative and pharmacotherapeutic treatments to address these symptoms.

[PMID: 35779379 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2022.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oculomotor abnormalities are one of the cardinal clinical features of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Vertical saccadic slowing is an early sign of PSP. The association between oculomotor abnormalities and sleep architecture has not been studied so far. OBJECTIVES To study the association of oculomotor abnormalities of PSP with the sleep stages by using video polysomnography (vPSG). METHODS This was a cross-sectional single-center study. Twenty-two patients with PSP and 15 age and gender-matched controls were recruited. Saccades, vestibulo-ocular reflex, and optokinetic nystagmus were assessed and graded clinically in all patients and one overnight vPSG was done in all cases. RESULTS Vertical saccades, upward more than downwards, were affected in all cases. While horizontal saccades were normal only in 41% of cases. Vertical optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) was affected in all cases. Horizontal OKN was normal in 36% of patients. The vertical upward saccades had a negative correlation with N1% and duration (r = -0.418; p = 0.05, r = -0.457; p = 0.03), N3% and duration (r = -0.486; p = 0.02, r = -0.510; p = 0.01), REM% (r = -0.449; p = 0.04), total sleep time (r = -0.487; p = 0.02) and sleep efficiency (r = -0.444; p = 0.04). There was a positive correlation between horizontal OKN and sleep onset latency (r = 0.432; p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Vertical saccadic restriction in PSP has significant negative correlation with total sleep time and sleep efficiency. The oculomotor and sleep abnormalities in PSP are probably interlinked and their assessment is useful in determining the characteristics of the disease.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging Reveals Deep Brain Structure Changes in Early Parkinson's Disease Patients with Various Sleep Disorders. Brain Sci 2022; 12:brainsci12040463. [PMID: 35447994 PMCID: PMC9025175 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci12040463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive age-related movement disorder caused by dopaminergic neuron loss in the substantia nigra. Diffusion-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies—namely, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)—have been performed in the context of PD, either with or without the involvement of sleep disorders (SDs), to deepen our understanding of cerebral microstructural alterations. Analyzing the clinical characteristics and neuroimaging features of SDs in early PD patients is beneficial for early diagnosis and timely invention. In our present study, we enrolled 36 early PD patients (31 patients with SDs and 5 patients without) and 22 healthy controls. Different types of SDs were assessed using the Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Questionnaire—Hong Kong, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, International Restless Legs Scale and PD Sleep Scale-2. Brain MRI examinations were carried out in all the participants, and a region-of-interest (ROI) analysis was used to determine the DTI-based fractional anisotropy (FA) values in the substantia nigra (SN), thalamus (Thal) and hypothalamus (HT). The results illustrate that SDs showed a higher prevalence in the early PD patients than in the healthy controls (86.11% vs. 27.27%). Early PD patients with nighttime problems (NPs) had longer courses of PD than those without (5.097 ± 2.925 vs. 2.200 ± 1.095; p < 0.05), and these patients with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) or restless legs syndrome (RLS) had more advanced Hoehn and Yahr stages (HY stage) than those without (1.522 ± 0.511 and 1.526 ± 0.513, respectively; both p < 0.05). Compared with the early PD patients without probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (pRBD), those with pRBD had longer courses, more advanced HY stages and worse motor and non-motor symptoms of PD (course(years), 3.385 ± 1.895 vs. 5.435 ± 3.160; HY stages, 1.462 ± 0.477 vs. 1.848 ± 0.553; UPDRS, 13.538 ± 7.333 vs. 21.783 ± 10.766; UPDRS, 6.538 ± 1.898 vs. 7.957 ± 2.345; all p < 0.05). In addition, the different number of SD types in early PD patients was significantly inversely associated with the severity of damage in the SN and HT. All of the early PD patients with various SDs had injuries in the SN, in whom the damage was more pronounced in patients with NP than those without. Moreover, early PD patients with NP, RLS or pRBD had worse degrees of HT damage than those without. The current study demonstrated the pathophysiological features and neuroimaging changes in early PD patients with various types of sleep disorders, which will help in early diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Background Sleep disturbances have been reported to occur in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). The anatomical regions affected in PSP and those regulating sleep and wake cycle like dorsal raphe nucleus, locus coeruleus (LC), and pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) overlap. There is a paucity of polysomnographic studies in PSP and they have shown altered sleep architecture. Objective To study the sleep architecture in patients with PSP using video-polysomnography (vPSG) and correlate it with the disease severity and duration. Methods This was a prospective, cross-sectional, case-control, single-center study. A total of 22 patients with PSP and 15 age and gender-matched controls were recruited. The cases and controls underwent clinical assessment, face-to-face interviews with sleep questionnaires, anxiety and depression scales, and one overnight vPSG. The sleep architecture was analyzed in detail. Results The sleep architecture was altered as compared to the controls. The total sleep time, stage N2 duration, stage N3 duration, rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep duration, sleep efficiency %, and N2%, N3%, and REM% were significantly lesser in PSP patients. The wake duration, wake after sleep onset (WASO) duration, wake%, WASO%, stage N1 duration was significantly greater in PSP patients. The stage N2 and N3 latencies were significantly prolonged in patients. REM sleep without atonia was noted in four patients and no patients had vPSG proven REM sleep behavior disorder. Conclusions Sleep architecture is altered in PSP even during the early stages of the disease. There is reduced total sleep including both non-REM and REM sleep, sleep efficiency, prolonged sleep latencies, and increased wake duration. This correlates with the neurodegenerative processes affecting the anatomical region regulating the sleep/wake cycle like dorsal raphe nucleus, locus coeruleus (LC), pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN).

VMAT2 availability in Parkinson's disease with probable REM sleep behaviour disorder. Mol Brain 2021; 14:165.

Abstract
REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) can be an early non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD) with pathology involving mainly the pontine nuclei. Beyond the brainstem, it is unclear if RBD patients comorbid with PD have more affected striatal dopamine denervation compared to PD patients unaffected by RBD (PD-RBD−). To elucidate this, we evaluated the availability of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), an index of nigrostriatal dopamine innervation, in 15 PD patients with probable RBD (PD-RBD+), 15 PD-RBD−, and 15 age-matched healthy controls (HC) using [11C]DTBZ PET imaging. This technique measured VMAT2 availability within striatal regions of interest (ROI). A mixed effect model was used to compare the radioligand binding of VMAT2 between the three groups for each striatal ROI, while co-varying for sex, cognitive function and depression scores. Multiple regressions were also computed to predict clinical measures from group condition and VMAT2 binding within all ROIs explored. We observed a significant main effect of group condition on VMAT2 availability within the caudate, putamen, ventral striatum, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and subthalamus. Specifically, our results revealed that PD-RBD+ had lower VMAT2 availability compared to HC in all these regions except for the subthalamus and substantia nigra, while PD-RBD− was significantly lower than HC in all these regions. PD-RBD− showed a negative relationship between motor severity and VMAT2 availability within the left caudate. Our findings reflect that both PD patient subgroups had similar denervation within the nigrostriatal pathway. There were no significant interactions detected between radioligand binding and clinical scores in PD-RBD+. Taken together, VMAT2 and striatal dopamine denervation in general may not be a significant contributor to the pathophysiology of RBD in PD patients. Future studies are encouraged to explore other underlying neural chemistry mechanisms contributing to RBD in PD patients.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, which manifests with both motor and non-motor symptoms. Circadian rhythm dysregulation, as one of the most challenging non-motor features of PD, usually appears long before obvious motor symptoms. Moreover, the dysregulated circadian rhythm has recently been reported to play pivotal roles in PD pathogenesis, and it has emerged as a hot topic in PD research. In this review, we briefly introduce the circadian rhythm and circadian rhythm-related genes, and then summarize recent research progress on the altered circadian rhythm in PD, ranging from clinical features to the possible causes of PD-related circadian disorders. We believe that future comprehensive studies on the topic may not only help us to explore the mechanisms of PD, but also shed light on the better management of PD.

Abstract
This article is a comprehensive review of the clinical evaluation of sleep-related movement disorders. In this review, the authors present a practical approach to help clinicians identify the "pattern recognition" of movement and behavior disorders during sleep, with the process of translating a particular movement that occurs when asleep, with clinically classifying disorders, and with obtaining an etiologic diagnosis. The aim is not to provide an exhaustive review of the literature, but to concentrate on the most important symptoms, so the clinical approach can be improved and the best choices can be made during the diagnostic process.

Abstract
Background: Pain is a disabling and often underestimated non-motor symptom (NMS) detrimentally affecting the quality of life of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Objective: Here, we conducted a cross-sectional, observational international study on 167 patients with idiopathic PD in order to analyze the potential relationship between pain and other NMS. Methods: Subjects were assessed with the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part III, Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) stage, King’s Parkinson’s Disease Pain Scale (KPPS), Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, multiple regression and multiple index-based clustering algorithms were used for data analysis. Results: The prevalence of pain was 88.6%, was not correlated with age, motor severity (UPDRS part III) or disease duration, whereas a weak correlation with female gender and H&Y stage >2.5 was found. Multiple NMS correlated significantly with pain. Specifically, sleep disturbance had the strongest correlation with pain, followed by depression, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular disturbances. Further analyses showed that sleep and cardiovascular disturbance were independently associated with pain, and that these symptoms clustered together in a subset of PD patients. The relationship between pain, sleep and dysautonomia persisted independently from dopamine replacement therapy. Conclusion: Our study suggests that sleep disruption and cardiovascular disturbance are associated with pain in PD, and possibly identifies a specific subtype within PD patients with pain. Our data also indicate that sleep disruption, pain and dysautonomia may have a common pathophysiology, possibly involving non-dopaminergic pathways.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is one of the common and burdensome non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the underlying neuropathology mechanism in PD patients with EDS (PD-EDS) remains unclear. The present study aims to delineate potential locations of structural alteration of subcortical regions in early stage and drug-naïve PD-EDS. METHODS The study had 252 patients with PD and 92 matched healthy controls (HC). EDS was estimated with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, with a cutoff of 10. Ultimately, 59 patients were considered as PD-EDS. The remaining 193 were PD patients without EDS (PD-nEDS). FMRIB's Integrated Registration and Segmentation Tool (FIRST) was employed to assess the volumetric and surface alterations of subcortical nuclei in PD and PD-EDS. RESULTS Volumetric analyses found no difference in the subcortical nucleus volume between PD and HC, or PD-EDS and PD-nEDS groups. The shape analyses revealed the local atrophic changes in bilateral caudate and right putamen in patients with PD. In addition, the hypertrophic changes were located in the right putamen and left pallidum in PD-EDS than in PD-nEDS. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed the regional hypertrophy of the striatum in PD-EDS. Our results indicate that local hypertrophic striatum would be a valuable early biomarker for detecting the alteration in PD-EDS. The shape analysis contributes valuable information when investigating PD-EDS.

Abstract
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is relatively frequent in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), having a prominent burden on patients' quality of life and causing dangerous events such as motor-vehicle accidents. Previous studies have indicated the role of certain neural tracts in the pathophysiology of sleep disturbances, especially in PD patients. We hypothesized that white matter integrity and connectivity might be altered in patients with PD and EDS. Therefore, this study investigated brain white matter microstructure alterations in patients with Parkinson's disease with EDS (PD-EDS) compared to healthy controls and PD patients without EDS (PD-nEDS). Diffusion MRI connectometry was used to carry out group analysis between PD patients with and without EDS and healthy individuals. EDS in PD patients is associated with decreased connectivity in the left and right fornix, left and right inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF), left inferior and middle cerebellar peduncles in comparison to PD-nEDS group. These differences between PD-EDS and PD-nEDS patients reflects microstructural changes with respect to sleep-related circuits, which can pave the way for future investigations considering EDS pathogenesis in Parkinson's disease.
