Article Synopsis
- - This study explored what influences people’s perceptions of their sleep issues and the necessity for treatment, using data from a sleep clinic over four years.
- - It found that insomnia symptoms, especially difficulties maintaining sleep, significantly impacted both how concerned patients were about their sleep and their desire for treatment, with younger individuals and those experiencing daily dysfunction being more ready to seek help.
- - The study concluded that while personal experiences of sleep problems are crucial in managing sleep issues, actual sleep study results (polysomnography) didn’t correlate well with patients’ concerns or treatment needs, emphasizing the importance of addressing subjective sleep complaints.
Epilepsy's impact on cardiovascular function and autonomic regulation, including heart-rate variability, is complex and may contribute to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Lateralization of autonomic control in the brain remains the subject of debate; nevertheless, ultra-short-term heart-rate variability (HRV) analysis is a useful tool for understanding the pathophysiology of autonomic dysfunction in epilepsy patients. A retrospective study reviewed medical records of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy who underwent presurgical evaluations.

Methods: This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study.
Background And Purpose: This study aimed to determine the long-term effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), daytime sleepiness, and sleep quality in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). It also investigated the relationships among these main effects, clinical characteristics, and VNS parameters.
Methods: Twenty-four patients were recruited.
Pregabalin is increasingly being used as a first-line treatment for symptomatic control of restless legs syndrome (RLS). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin as add-on therapy in RLS patients already taking dopamine agonists (DA) but still in need of further management. Patients with idiopathic RLS were enrolled, and all had already been prescribed DA for at least 3 months but still had either persistent symptoms, side effects, or comorbid insomnia.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of FCM in treating RLS symptoms in patients who also had an iron deficiency anemia (IDA).
Methods: This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study.
Study Objectives: While the prevalence and clinical characteristics of restless legs syndrome (RLS) are known to vary according to ethnicity, a detailed evaluation of this condition among patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) has not yet been reported in an Asian population. We investigated the prevalence and clinical characteristics of RLS in patients with IDA in Korea compared with age- and sex-matched patients diagnosed with idiopathic RLS.
Methods: This prospective single-center study was performed at a regional university hospital.
