Quantitative sleep electroencephalogram and cognitive performance in Parkinson's disease with and without rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) are at greater risk for cognitive decline and RBD has been associated with alterations in sleep-related EEG oscillations. This study evaluates differences in sleep quantitative EEG (qEEG) and cognition in PD participants with (PD-RBD) and without RBD (PD-no-RBD).

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, polysomnography (PSG)-derived qEEG and a comprehensive level II neuropsychological assessment were compared between PD-RBD (n = 21) and PD-no-RBD (n = 31). Following artifact rejection, qEEG analysis was performed in the frontal and central leads. Measures included Scalp-slow wave (SW) density, spindle density, morphological properties of SW and sleep spindles, SW-spindle phase-a
