비디오 안진 검사를 이용한 렘수면행동장애의 뇌줄기 기능 저하에 대한 연구 = A Study on the Evaluation of Brainstem Dysfunction in Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Using Video Nystagmography

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: This study aimed to differentiate video nystagmography (VNG) characteristics, including the video head impulse test (vHIT), in patients with idiopathic rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD) from healthy controls, which is considered a precursor to degenerative diseases.
Methods: One hundred eighty-five patients underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG) and VNG. Based on overnight PSG, 27 patients with RBD or REM sleep without atonia (RWA) and AHI<15 were categorized into the RBD group, 34 patients with RBD/RWA and AHI≥15 were grouped into the combined group. Sixty patients with AHI≥15 and no RBD/RWA were included in the obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) group, and 64 negative participants were assigned to the control group. In VNG, we measured the gain of vHIT in each canal, with the latency, amplitude, and velocity of horizontal saccades and smooth pursuit. We compared the results between groups using ANOVA, after normalization and adjustment for age and sex.
Results: The gain of vHIT in the left horizontal canal was decreased in the RBD group, but it was more pronounced in the OSA group. Elevated gain of the left posterior canal was seen in the RBD group, but technical errors were attributable. The RBD group displayed prolonged latency of saccade on the left side and slowed saccade on the right side, but these were statistically insignificant.
Conclusions: The VNG study revealed differences between the sleep disorders, potentially reflecting brainstem function in each disorder. However, these differences lacked statistical significance. We anticipate that significant results could be obtained with more controlled conditions.
