ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The potential benefit of perampanel for sleep disturbances is unknown. This study determined whether insomnia is less prevalent and less severe in patients with epilepsy (PWE) who take perampanel as an adjuvant.METHODS:
This cross-sectional study was conducted in adults with epilepsy. Insomnia in patients treated or not treated with perampanel was diagnosed according to the criteria of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, the third edition (ICSD-3) and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Patients were also scored on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and the groups were compared by stepwise linear or logistic regression analyses.RESULTS:
One hundred and twenty-six PWE were included in the study 31 patients (24.6%) were taking perampanel. Insomnia was diagnosed in 15.9% and 20.6% of all patients according to the ICSD-3 and an ISI score of ≥15, respectively. Agreement between the two diagnostic methods was moderate (Cohen's kappa, 0.470). In a stepwise logistic regression model, insomnia diagnosed by either method was negatively associated with perampanel use (P<0.05) but positively correlated with depressive symptoms, anxiety, and duration of epilepsy. In a stepwise linear regression model, ISI scores correlated negatively with perampanel use (P=0.004) but positively with depressive symptoms (P<0.001) and anxiety (P=0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
Insomnia is less prevalent and less severe in PWE treated with perampanel independent of depressive symptoms, which will be helpful for treating PWE and comorbid sleep disturbances.Palabras clave
