Abstract
Purpose
To analyze the characteristics of cerebral blood flow changes of poor sleep quality in people with epilepsy(PWE).
Methods
90 PWE treated in The General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from December 2021 to September 2023 were divided into poor sleep quality group (PSQG) and good sleep quality group (GSQG) according to the Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (CPSQI), to compare the differences in cerebral perfusion between the two groups of patients, so as to summarize the characteristics of cerebral blood flow changes of poor sleep quality in PWE.
Results
The positive rate of interictal single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) was 76.7 %(69/90), which showed localized cerebral hypoperfusion. There was no statistical difference between the two groups of PSQG (N=29) and GSQG (N=61) in terms of the positive rate of SPECT/CT, the number of hypoperfusion foci, and the range of hypoperfusion foci. In PSQG and GSQG, 9 patients(31.0 %) and 6 patients(9.8 %) showed hypoperfusion in the right parietal lobe, respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.017). There was no statistical difference the rate of the interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) and the brain area of IEDs in electroencephalography(EEG) between the two groups.
Conclusion
SPECT/CT of poor sleep quality in PWE demonstrated hypoperfusion in the right parietal lobe.
期刊介绍:
Epilepsy & Behavior is the fastest-growing international journal uniquely devoted to the rapid dissemination of the most current information available on the behavioral aspects of seizures and epilepsy.
Epilepsy & Behavior presents original peer-reviewed articles based on laboratory and clinical research. Topics are drawn from a variety of fields, including clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging.
From September 2012 Epilepsy & Behavior stopped accepting Case Reports for publication in the journal. From this date authors who submit to Epilepsy & Behavior will be offered a transfer or asked to resubmit their Case Reports to its new sister journal, Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports.
