Polysomnographic and quantitative EEG analysis of subjects with long-term insomnia complaints associated with mild traumatic brain injury.
Clinical Neurophysiology : Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology 2008 Februrary
OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were (1) to characterise the extent and nature of disrupted sleep in individuals with long-term sleep complaints subsequent to mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), and (2) to determine whether sleep disturbances in MTBI subjects were more characteristic of psychophysiological, psychiatric, or idiopathic insomnia.
METHODS: Nine MTBI patients (27.8 months post-injury; SD=15.5 months) and nine control subjects underwent polysomnographic testing and completed self-report questionnaires on sleep quality. Power spectral (FFT) analysis of the sleep onset period was conducted, with both the power and variability in power being quantified.
RESULTS: Individuals with MTBI exhibited long-term sleep difficulties, along with various cognitive and affective abnormalities. The MTBI group had 4% less efficient sleep (p=0.019), shorter REM onset latencies (p=0.011), and longer sleep onset latencies, although the latter were highly variable in the MTBI group (F-test: p=0.012). FFT analysis revealed greater intra-subject variability in the MTBI group in sigma, theta, and delta power during the sleep onset period.
CONCLUSIONS: MTBI patients with persistent sleep complaints differ significantly from controls on a number of electrophysiological outcomes, but could not be easily classified into existing insomnia subtypes.
SIGNIFICANCE: Sleep disturbances can persist well after the injury in a subset of patients with MTBI.
