简要总结
Sleep problems are common in the United States (US) adult population (>50 million), and have a negative impact on quality of life, productivity, and healthcare. A major obstacle to understanding how the brain is involved in human sleep disorders has been the lack of recordings of human brain function, from inside the brain, during the known sleep states.
详细描述
Sleep is necessary for life; critically important to the regulation of body and brain function. Sleep problems are common in the U.S. adult population (>50 million), and have a negative impact on quality of life, productivity, and healthcare. A major obstacle to understanding how the brain is involved in human sleep disorders has been the lack of recordings of brain function, from inside the brain, during the known sleep states; non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). It is very common for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) to also have sleep disorders, such as insomnia, restless-leg-syndrome and REM-behavior disorder. One treatment for PD patients is deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS). Despite evidence showing that STN-DBS improves several aspects of sleep behavior in PD subjects, few studies have examined the relationship between brain activity and sleep regulation in human subjects. In this proposal, the investigators will examine sleep in humans by recording brain activity from STN of PD patients who have undergone DBS surgery. The investigators will also test the hypothesis that STN contributes to both the regulation and disruption of normal sleep behavior.

- •Have a computer and be willing to use it as part of this study.
- •Be able to learn to use and maintain a wristband-style sleep monitor.

结局指标
主要结局
Chronic actigraphy to characterize sleep-wake behavior
时间窗: 3 weeks
The investigators will collect typical sleep-wake behavior-including indirect features of sleep disturbance-by equipping patients with a sleep-monitoring device (ActiGraph AW2) that will record sleep parameters.
Measuring brain physiological activity via local field potentials and correlation to sleep states (REM, non-REM, etc.)
时间窗: One entire sleep cycle (each cycle is 8-10 hours).
STN LFP activity will be measured by externalized DBS electrodes during in patient polysomnography.
Test the functional impact of STN-DBS on sleep-wake behavior through actigraphy
时间窗: 3 weeks
The investigators will examine the impact of STN modulation, via DBS in both On- and Off-Stimulation conditions in separate groups of subjects, on typical sleep-wake behavior.
