Abstract
Thirty-three patients with rheumatic pain modulation disorder (RPMD) were divided into 2 groups: RPMD with sleep related myoclonus (RPMD-SM) (n=12) and RPMD only (n=21). Both groups showed chronic nonarticular musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, tender points, and nonrestorative sleep with alpha (7.5-11 Hz) EEG sleep anomaly. RPMD-SM patients were older, had later onset of illness, showed disrupted sleep with periodic involuntary leg movements that were related to fatigue, and alpha EEG sleep related to fatigue and pain.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
