Article Abstract
Nocturnal monitoring during sleep identified specific sleep disorders in 55%of the subjects with onset of headache during the nocturnal sleep period.Follow-up after treatment of the sleep disorder showed that all subjects with an identifiable sleep disorder reported either an improvement or absence of their headache.The subjects identified with periodic limb movement syndrome were mostly those who reported only an improvement in their sleep and still needed treatment for their headaches. The question of the interaction and association of sleep-related headache and periodic limb movement syndrome is unresolved.
