Periodic movements in sleep (nocturnal myoclonus): Relation to sleep disorders
Abstract
Periodic movements in sleep (PMS) are stereotyped, repetitive, nonepileptiform movements of the lower extremities. A total of 409 sleep disorder patients were studied with all‐night polysomnogram recording, and 53 (13%) had PMS. Such movements occurred in a wide variety of sleep‐wake disorders in addition to insomnia. The prevalence and magnitude of PMS were not statistically greater in patients with insomniac disorders than in those with syndromes of excessive daytime sleepiness or other sleep‐wake disorders. The results suggest that although PMS is responsible for disturbed sleep in relatively few patients, chronic sleep‐wake disturbance is associated with PMS and may lead to the development of these movements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
