Abstract

Purpose of Review

Recognize sleep disorders associated with neuromuscular diseases.

Recent Findings

Neuromuscular diseases can be associated with various sleep disorders. Diaphragmatic weakness, bulbar dysfunction, pharyngeal neuropathy, and central neurodegeneration cause sleep-disordered breathing. Spinal cord hyperexcitability, loss of inhibitory descending pathways, and neuropathy promote restless legs syndrome. Reduced cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypocretin, central dysfunction of sleep regulation, and degeneration of GABAergic intracortical circuits may contribute to central hypersomnia. Dysfunction of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system, associated with neurodegenerative diseases and certain neuromuscular disorders, may be a common pathophysiologic mechanism responsible for the loss of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep muscle atonia and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD).

Summary

Different neuromuscular disorder may be more susceptible to specific sleep disturbances. A low threshold needs to be maintained for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in neuromuscular diseases, due to their high prevalence, lack of symptom specificity, and presence even in minimally symptomatic patients. However, loss of REM atonia may be protective against sleep-disordered breathing. There are reasonable pathophysiologic mechanisms such as respiratory muscle weakness, upper airway obstruction, and central dysfunction that explain the link between sleep disorders and neuromuscular diseases

„Wir wollen die Bedeutung von Gen- und Umwelteinflüssen besser verstehen“

Eine Mutation in einem einzelnen Gen kann bei Mäusen eine Art Bipolarstörung auslösen. PD Dr. Jan Deussing vom Max-Planck-Institut für Psychiatrie in München sieht in solchen Tiermodellen eine Möglichkeit, den Ursachen der Erkrankung auf den Grund zu gehen.

Suizidassistenz erhöht Suizidzahlen: Aktuelle Ergebnisse der geplanten S3-Leitlinie

Erstmals wird in Deutschland eine S3-Leitlinie zum Thema Suizidalität erarbeitet. Ziel ist es, die Versorgung in suizidalen Krisen durch einheitliche Standards zu verbessern. Erste Ergebnisse der bisherigen Leitlinienarbeit wurden auf dem DGPPN-Kongress vorgestellt.

Kaum Vorteile durch intraarterielle Lyse während Thrombektomie

Nach der Thrombektomie kleinere Fragmente über eine intraarterielle Lyse auflösen – dies könnte die Schlaganfalltherapie verbessern. Zwei aktuelle Studien ergeben für die periprozedurale Lyse jedoch keine großen Vorteile. Die Frage, wie viel sie nützt, bleibt weiter offen.

Nasenstimulation lindert chronische Migräne

Wird die Naseninnenseite durch Vibrationen stimuliert, kann dies offenbar die Zahl der Migränetage von Menschen mit chronischer Migräne deutlich senken. Darauf deuten die Resultate einer randomisiert-kontrollierten deutsch-finnischen Untersuchung.
