ABSTRACT
Objective This study intended to compare the circadian rhythm and circadian profile between patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Method We enrolled 16 patients with JME and 37 patients with TLE from the Outpatient Clinic of UNICAMP. We applied a questionnaire about sleep-wake cycle and circadian profile. Results Fourteen (87%) out of 16 patients with JME, and 22 out of 37 (59%) patients with TLE reported that they would sleep after seizure (p < 0.05). Three (19%) patients with JME, and 17 (46%) reported to be in better state before 1000 AM (p < 0.05). Conclusion There is no clear distinct profile and circadian pattern in patients with JME in comparison to TLE patients. However, our data suggest that most JME patients do not feel in better shape early in the day. .
RESUMO
Objetivo Este estudo pretende comparar o ritmo circadiano e o perfil circadiano entre pacientes com epilepsia mioclônica juvenil (EMJ) e epilepsia de lobo temporal (ELT). Método Nós entrevistamos 16 pacientes com EMJ e 37 com ELT do ambulatório da UNICAMP. Nós aplicamos um questionário sobre ciclo sono-vigília e perfil circadiano. Resultados Quatorze (87%) de 16 pacientes com EMJ e 22 de 37 (59%) pacientes com ELT relataram que eles apresentam sonolência pós-crise (p < 0,05). Três (19%) pacientes com EMJ e 17 (46%) relataram um melhor estado geral antes das 10h00min (p < 0,05). Conclusão Não há uma clara diferença de ritmo e de perfil circadiano entre pacientes com EMJ e ELT. No entanto, nossos dados sugerem que a maioria dos pacientes com EMJ não se sentem em sua melhor forma cedo pela manhã. .
