Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic skin response: basic mechanisms and clinical applications.
TL;DR: Sympathetic skin response has been proposed as a non-invasive approach to investigate the function of the sympathetic system and current procedures are not sufficiently reliable for diagnostic purposes, and show imperfect correlations both with clinical features and other measurements of autonomic, in particular, sudomotor dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ropinirole in the Treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome
TL;DR: Ropinirole is a modern, non-ergoline dopamine agonist which has been widely studied for the treatment of moderate-to-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep disorders in multiple system atrophy: a correlative video-polysomnographic study
Roberto Vetrugno,Federica Provini,Pietro Cortelli,Giuseppe Plazzi,Enrico M Lotti,Giulia Pierangeli,Carlotta Canali,Pasquale Montagna +7 more
TL;DR: MSA patients, especially those with associated stridor, commonly display impaired breathing and abnormal control of respiratory and limb muscles during sleep, indicating a diffuse impairment of sleep homeostatic integration that should be included within the diagnostic features of MSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement disorders in sleep: guidelines for differentiating epileptic from non-epileptic motor phenomena arising from sleep.
Paolo Tinuper,Federica Provini,Francesca Bisulli,Luca Vignatelli,Giuseppe Plazzi,Roberto Vetrugno,Pasquale Montagna,Elio Lugaresi +7 more
TL;DR: The clinical and polygraphic features of the different types of seizures in nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy and of the more common non-epileptic paroxysmal events during sleep are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor pattern of periodic limb movements during sleep
Federica Provini,Roberto Vetrugno,Stefano Meletti,Giuseppe Plazzi,Laura Solieri,Elio Lugaresi,Giorgio Coccagna,Pasquale Montagna +7 more
TL;DR: An abnormal hyperexcitability along the entire spinal cord, especially its lumbosacral and cervical segments, is hypothesize as the primary cause of PLMS, triggered by sleep-related factors located at a supraspinal but still unresolved level.
