Effect of successful epilepsy surgery on subjective and objective sleep parameters – a prospective study

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Epilepsy surgery improves subjective sleep parameters in patients with medically refractory epilepsy during the early post operative period and may improve objective (PSG documented) sleep quality, sleep architecture and obstructive sleep apnea with resultant reduction in excessive daytime sleepiness.

Effects of epilepsy treatments on sleep architecture and daytime sleepiness: An evidence‐based review of objective sleep metrics

TL;DR: A systemic literature review is performed to evaluate the effect of antiepileptic drugs and nondrug treatments for epilepsy on sleep architecture to help better understand treatment effects, especially in patients with epilepsy and sleep problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep-related epileptic behaviors and non-REM-related parasomnias: Insights from stereo-EEG

TL;DR: The authors review and summarize the current and relevant S-EEG literature on sleep-related hypermotor epilepsies and NREM-related parasomnias, and highlights the presence of local electrophysiological dissociated states and clarifying the underlying pathophysiological substrate of such NREM sleep disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep and Epilepsy.

TL;DR: Clinicians need to be vigilant about asking about and addressing sleep complaints in patients with epilepsy, and improving sleep and optimizing seizure control can have significant positive effects on the quality of life of these patients.

Sleep and epilepsy: unfortunate bedfellows.

TL;DR: Understanding and managing seizures and related sleep disturbance is an important and treatable intervention target that could potentially improve children’s sleep, but also their learning, mood, behaviour, seizures and parental quality of life.

The Mutual Interaction Between Sleep and Epilepsy on the Neurobiological Basis and Therapy.

TL;DR: The literatures of the neurobiological basis of the interactions between sleep and epilepsy indicate that non rapid eye movement sleep and idiopathic generalized epilepsy share the same thalamocortical networks.

Effect of anticonvulsants on nocturnal sleep in epilepsy.

TL;DR: It is concluded that CBZ-CR disrupts REM sleep, but only during acute administration, and LTG and GBP improve sleep stability while reducing seizures.

Sleep disturbances in people with epilepsy; prevalence, impact and treatment

TL;DR: The interaction between epilepsy and sleep is thoroughly studied and is very complex as discussed by the authors, which focuses on prevalence, impact on quality of life and effects of treatment of sleep disorders on the course of epilepsy.

Nocturnal Sleep and Daytime Somnolence in Untreated Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Changes After Treatment with Controlled‐Release Carbamazepine

TL;DR: To define sleep disturbances in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and explore the association between carbamazepine therapy, sleep, and daytime somnolence is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectrum of Polysomnographic Abnormalities in Children With Epilepsy

TL;DR: Children with poor seizure control demonstrated significantly lower sleep efficiency, a higher arousal index, and a higher percentage of rapid-eye-movement sleep compared with children who were seizure-free or exhibited good seizure control.
