Sleep disorders in spinocerebellar ataxia type 10

Summary As sleep disturbances have been reported in spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), including types SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6 and SCA13, identification and management of these disturbances can help minimise their impact on SCA patients' overall body functions and quality of life. To our knowledge,...

Summary:Summary As sleep disturbances have been reported in spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs), including types SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6 and SCA13, identification and management of these disturbances can help minimise their impact on SCA patients' overall body functions and quality of life. To our knowledge, there are no studies that investigate sleep disturbances in SCA10. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess sleep disturbances in patients with SCA10. Twenty‐three SCA10 patients and 23 healthy controls were recruited. Patients were evaluated in terms of their demographic and clinical data, including disease severity (Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia, SARA) and excessive daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale, ESS), and underwent polysomnography. SCA10 patients had longer rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (p = .04) and more REM arousals than controls (p
