Disrupted Brain Functional Network Topology in Essential Tremor Patients With Poor Sleep Quality.

ABSTRACT: Sleep disturbances, especially poor quality of sleep (QoS), are common among essential tremor (ET) patients and may have adverse effects on their quality of life, but the etiology driving the poor QoS in these individuals remains inadequately understood. Few data are available on the neuroimaging alterations of ET with poor QoS. Thirty-eight ET patients with poor QoS (SleET), 48 ET patients with normal QoS (NorET), and 80 healthy controls (HCs) participated in this study. All subjects underwent a 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan for resting-state functional MRI data collection. Then, the whole-brain functional connectome was constructed by thresholding the partial correlation matrices of 116 brain regions. Graph theory and network-based statistical analyses were performed.
