Résumé
"The main objective of this work was to evaluate the characteristics of sleep in patients diagnosed with fi bromyalgia syndrome. Sleep architecture in 32 patients with fi bromyalgia and 20 healthy controls was evaluated. Following the recommendations of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, polysomnographies were conducted with fi bromyalgia patients and the control subjects. The fi bromyalgia patients showed alterations in cyclic organization of sleep and an increased number of periodic leg movements associated with cortical arousals. No signifi cant differences were found in respiratory and oximetry variables or in alpha-delta sleep. The results support that fi bromyalgia patients present an increase of superfi cial sleep at the expense of deep sleep and also an increase of periodic leg movements, which could have a pathogenic effect, facilitating the ons t of the illness. Lastly, we discuss the results and propose some future lines of research."
