BACKGROUND: Sleep disturbances are common in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and have a great impact on patients' quality of life. According to a report, there is a 64% prevalence of poor sleep quality in NMOSD patients. Therefore, this study was done to evaluate the effect of sleep disturbances on NMOSD acute exacerbations.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This case-control study was conducted at Sina Hospital in 2019. A total of 60 patients with NMOSD diagnosis were enrolled in the study (30 patients were in the remission phase while 30 patients were hospitalized due to acute attacks). Sleep disorders were evaluated in both groups. Sleep quality was assessed during the last month using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 21.

RESULTS: Among 60 patients who were evaluated in both the control and attack groups, 86.7% were female. The duration of the disease was 68.23 ± 42.89 months in the control group and 69.83 ± 6.90 in the attack group. The mean age of patients was 34.15 years old. Sleep quality was unfavorable in 30% and 56% of patients in control and attack groups, respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups in sleep latency, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep duration, and sleep disturbance.

CONCLUSION: The present study revealed that there was a significant difference in sleep quality between controls and attack patients and could show a direct relationship between sleep disorders and NMOSD attacks.
