Sleep and other Non-motor Symptoms in Patients with Idiopathic Oromandibular Dystonia and Meige Syndrome

INTRODUCTION: Non-motor symptoms are an essential cause of comorbidity in generalized and focal dystonia. However, there are few studies on dystonia involving the craniofacial regions. METHODS: We studied non-motor symptoms in patients with oromandibular dystonia (OMD) and Meige syndrome using a questionnaire, and validated instruments for depression, anxiety, REM behaviour disorder, restless leg syndrome, sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, and self-esteem. The severity of dystonia and blepharospasm was also studied. RESULTS: = 2) of the patients. CONCLUSION: This study highlights the significant frequency of depression and sleep disturbances in patients with idiopathic OMD and Meige syndrome.
