The main objective of this work was to evaluate the characteristics of sleep in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome. Sleep architecture in 32 patients with fibromyalgia and 20 healthy controls was evaluated. Following the recommendations of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, polysomnographies were conducted with fibromyalgia patients and the control subjects. The fibromyalgia patients showed alterations in cyclic organization of sleep and an increased number of periodic leg movements associated with cortical arousals. No significant differences were found in respiratory and oximetry variables or in alpha-delta sleep. The results support that fibromyalgia patients present an increase of superficial sleep at the expense of deep sleep and also an increase of periodic leg movements, which could have a pathogenic effect, facilitating the onset of the illness. Lastly, we discuss the results and propose some future lines of research.
这项工作的主要目的是评估纤维肌痛综合征患者的睡眠特征。对 32 名纤维肌痛患者和 20 名健康对照者的睡眠结构进行了评估。根据国际临床神经生理学联合会的建议，对纤维肌痛患者和对照组进行了多导睡眠图检查。纤维肌痛患者的睡眠周期性组织发生改变，与皮质觉醒相关的周期性腿部运动增加。呼吸和血氧变量或α-δ睡眠没有明显差异。结果支持纤维肌痛患者表现出浅层睡眠增加，而深层睡眠减少，并且周期性腿部运动增加，这可能具有发病作用，促进疾病的发生。最后，我们讨论了结果并提出了一些未来的研究方向。
