Аннотация

INTRODUCTION: Dystonia is a movement disorder presented with involuntary muscle contraction causing abnormal posture, movement, or both. Besides motor symptoms, patients may also report non-motor symptoms such as pain, anxiety, apathy, depression, sleep problems, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. The etiology of fatigue in patients with dystonia is not yet well understood.

AIM: To evaluate the presence of fatigue, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and daily sleepiness in patients with focal and segmental dystonia and to determine which of these non-motor symptoms influence the occurrence and severity of fatigue.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients were surveyed for symptoms of fatigue, depression, anxiety, night-time sleep problems, and daily sleepiness using the Fatigue Assessment Scale, Beck Depression Inventory II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Pittsburgh Sleep Questionnaire Index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Demographic data (sex, age, and disease duration) were collected from patient medical records. On statistical analysis, we used SPSS for Windows 10. The level of significance was set at p<0.05.

RESULTS: Sixty patients (43 female and 17 male) with focal or segmental dystonia were evaluated. Fatigue was reported by 67.2% of patients. Fatigue (general, physical, and mental fatigue) was found to correlate with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Daily sleepiness correlated only with mental fatigue. Disease duration, age, and gender did not influence the symptoms of fatigue. Multiple regression analysis showed that depression mostly predicted symptoms of general, physical, and mental fatigue.

CONCLUSION: Depression mostly predicted symptoms of general, physical, and mental fatigue in patients with focal and segmental dystonia.
