Sleep in multiple sclerosis patients treated with interferon beta: an actigraphic study.

Objective: Sleep disorders in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are common and complex. Some evidences suggest that interferon beta (IFN-β), a first line disease modifying therapy can be involved in the induction of sleep architecture changes. The aim of this study was to evaluate and characterize actigraphic patterns in MS patients treated with IFN-β.
