Comparing sleep profiles between patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and symptomatic partial epilepsy: Sleep questionnaire-based study

摘要

Objectives: Patients with epilepsy commonly report excessive daytime sleepiness and daytime fatigue, which may be attributed to the direct effect of seizures, a side effect of antiepileptic drugs or a combination of the two. The aim of the study was to compare sleep profiles in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and symptomatic partial epilepsy (PE) in drug naive and treated patients using standardized sleep questionnaires.
