Exploring Sleep Architecture in Polish Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: A Polysomnography Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep disturbances are a prevalent phenomenon in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). The present study employs polysomnography (PSG) to quantify sleep efficiency and architecture in PwMS, aiming to elucidate the relationships between PSG parameters and factors including gender, disability level, brain lesion location, and subjective measures of insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), fatigue, pain, and mood disorders.

Methods

The study cohort comprised 51 adult PwMS, of whom 31 underwent overnight PSG. The demographic and clinical characteristics, including age, gender, and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), were collated. The Athens Insomnia Scale, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Fatigue Severity Scale, the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS),
