    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; restless legs syndrome; chronic widespread pain; females; sleep disorders; HPA-axis;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: The main aim of this thesis was to explore the prevalence, incidence and severity of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in subjects with Chronic Widespread Pain (CWP). In addition, the thesis aimed to analyse the impact of pain and RLS on sleep as well as on measures of Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal (HPA)-axis function and skin sympathetic activity. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) are two sleep disorders that affect daily life with symptoms such as sleepiness and fatigue. It was therefore hypothesised that the skeletal muscle could be affected as symptoms from skeletal muscle are common. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Dopamine D2-receptor mapping in restless legs syndrome and human behaviour

    Författare :Simon Cervenka; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Molecular imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) allow for examination of biochemical markers directly in the living human brain. Such imaging studies have over the recent years provided important understanding of the functional role of dopaminergic neurotransmission in motor and higher-order brain functions. LÄS MER
