Contribution of sleep disturbances to fatigue in multiple sclerosis : a prospective study using clinical and polysomnographic parameters

Riccitelli, Gianna C. ; Disanto, Giulio ; Sacco, Rosaria ; Sparasci, Davide ; Sacco, Leonardo ; Castelnovo, Anna ; Miano, Silvia ; Manconi, Mauro ; Gobbi, Claudio ; Zecca, Chiara

In: European journal of neurology, 2021, vol. 28, no. 9, p. 9

Background and purpose: Fatigue is amongst the most frequent and disabling symptoms of multiple sclerosis and a close relation between fatigue and sleep quality has been hypothesized. In this study the contribution of sleep disturbances measured by clinical and polysomnographic parameters to fatigue in multiple sclerosis was investigated. Methods: This was a prospective instrumental study...

Preconditioning cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation facilitates the neuroplastic effect of subsequent anodal transcranial direct current stimulation applied during cycling in young adults

Pourmajidian, Maryam ; Lauber, Benedikt ; Sidhu, Simranjit K

In: Neuroscience Letters, 2020, vol. 714, p. 134597

The study aimed to examine the effect of a pre-conditioning cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) before subsequent anodal-tDCS (atDCS) was applied during low workload cycling exercise on the corticospinal responses in young healthy individuals. Eleven young subjects participated in two sessions receiving either conditioning ctDCS or sham stimulation, followed by atDCS...

Amide proton transfer weighted imaging shows differences in multiple sclerosis lesions and white matter hyperintensities of presumed vascular origin

Sartoretti, Elisabeth ; Sartoretti, Thomas ; Wyss, Michael ; Becker, Anton S. ; Schwenk, Árpád ; Smoorenburg, Luuk van ; Najafi, Arash ; Binkert, Christoph ; Thoeny, Harriet C. ; Zhou, Jinyuan ; Jiang, Shanshan ; Graf, Nicole ; Czell, David ; Sartoretti-Schefer, Sabine ; Reischauer, Carolin

In: Frontiers in Neurology, 2019, vol. 10, p. -

Objectives: To assess the ability of 3D amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging based on magnetization transfer analysis to discriminate between multiple sclerosis lesions (MSL) and white matter hyperintensities of presumed vascular origin (WMH) and to compare APTw signal intensity of healthy white matter (healthy WM) with APTw signal intensity of MSL and WHM.Materials and Methods: A...
