Periodic limb movements among persons with epilepsy: A retrospective polysomnographic study
PLMs are a frequently observed phenomenon in polysomnographic studies of PWE and are predominantly related to advancing age. Given the comparable indices of periodic limb movements in both the epilepsy group and an age- and sex-matched cohort with obstructive sleep apnea, the findings suggest that obstructive sleep apnea might be a major contributor to the periodic limb movements seen among PWE.
