INTRODUCTION: Periodic paralysis (PP) is thought to be limited to episodes of muscle weakness, but there are reports of fibromyalgia-like pain in PP. We aimed to evaluate pain and comorbid sleep, fatigue, and mood disorders in PP patients.
METHODS: We administered a cross-sectional survey to PP patients at the 2019 Periodic Paralysis Conference. The survey consisted of the Brief Pain Inventory, Widespread Pain Index, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Modified Fatigue Impact Scale, and ten-question Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10). Descriptive statistics for PP patients were calculated and compared with earlier studies.
RESULTS: Forty-four individuals with PP took the survey. Of these patients, 52.3% reported a moderate to severe interference of pain on their lives, and 45.5% met the study criteria for fibromyalgia. Patients with SCN4A mutations had higher rates of fibromyalgia than the next most prevalent gene mutation, CACNA1S. In patients with pain, there were increased rates of comorbid fatigue, depression, and poor sleep quality.
DISCUSSION: Pain, akin to fibromyalgia, is a significant symptom of PP and can affect quality of life. Pain in PP was more prevalent than in the general population, at a rate comparable with other chronic neuromuscular disease groups. PP patients could benefit from a multidisciplinary approach to assess their pain, sleep, fatigue, and mood.
