Use of remote monitoring and integrated platform for the evaluation of sleep quality in adult-onset idiopathic cervical dystonia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Up to 70% of individuals diagnosed with adult-onset idiopathic focal cervical dystonia (AOIFCD) report difficulties with sleep. Larger cohort studies using wrist-worn accelerometer devices have emerged as an alternative to smaller polysomnography studies, in order to evaluate sleep architecture.

Methods

To measure activity during the sleep/wake cycle, individuals wore a consumer-grade wrist device (Garmin vivosmart 4) continuously over 7 days on their non-dominant wrist, while completing a daily sleep diary and standardised sleep and non-motor questionnaires via a dedicated app. Sleep measures were derived from the captured raw triaxial acceleration and heart rate values using previously published validated algorithms.

Results

Data were collected from 50 in
