[The structure of nocturnal sleep in stroke]
Abstract:
The paper deals with a polygraphic study of night sleep in 44 patients who had cerebral strokes with a different localization of the focus, in 10 patients with atherosclerosis and hypertensive disease (the control group). The structure of sleep following strokes was seriously imparied. Besides general traits, the changes were specific depending upon the focus of lesion. Differences were also displayed in patients with lesions of either the right or left hemisphere and their relationship with the opposition. The author stresses the importance of studying the interrelationship of sleep structure. It is assumed that disturbances in the sleep structure of the patients who have suffered from strokes are of importance in the rehabilitative period.
