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.

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.

The impact of epilepsy on sleep architecture during childhood

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in sleep structure in drug‐resistant epilepsies with different underlying causes and to evaluate the relationship between epilepsy and sleep during childhood.

Evaluation of sleep quality in patients with refractory seizures who undergo epilepsy surgery

TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with partial recurrent seizures of temporal origin have poor subjective sleep quality that improves significantly after epilepsy surgery.

Sleep before and after temporal lobe epilepsy surgery

TL;DR: Surgical treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy may improve sleep macrostructure by reducing the number of seizures and of IEAs, and indirectly confirm the role of epilepsy in disrupting sleep organization chronically.

Approaches to staging sleep in polysomnographic studies with epileptic activity.

TL;DR: The Rechtschaffen and Kales method of sleep scoring is useful in staging the majority of PSGs of patients with epilepsy, however, some modifications are advocated because the abnormal electrical activity of epilepsy may interfere with accurate scoring of sleep waveforms.
