To evaluate the presence of sleep symptoms in Machado-Joseph disease/spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (MJD/SCA3).
SUBJECTS/METHODS: We used a sleep questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale to compare 53 patients with MJD/SCA3 and 106 controls.
Patients with MJD/SCA3 reported more symptoms of insomnia, restless leg syndrome and REM sleep behavior disorder as well as nocturnal cramps, snoring and nocturnal apnea. Insomnia was the most frequently reported sleep-related complaint in the MJD/SCA3 group.
Our results indicate that sleep disorders are common in patients with MJD/SCA3 and probably have a multifactorial etiology, with components of a primary sleep disorder in addition to sleep-disrupting symptoms such as nocturia and cramps.
评估马查多-约瑟夫病/3型脊髓小脑共济失调(MJD/SCA3)患者睡眠症状的存在情况。
受试者/方法:我们使用一份睡眠问卷和爱泼沃斯思睡量表,对53例MJD/SCA3患者和106名对照者进行比较。
MJD/SCA3患者报告有更多的失眠、不宁腿综合征和快速眼动睡眠行为障碍症状,以及夜间抽筋、打鼾和夜间呼吸暂停。失眠是MJD/SCA3组中最常报告的与睡眠相关的主诉。
我们的结果表明,睡眠障碍在MJD/SCA3患者中很常见,其病因可能是多因素的,除夜尿症和抽筋等干扰睡眠的症状外,还存在原发性睡眠障碍的成分。
