Links

Summary:

This paper reviews the clinical and basic-science studies centered on sleep and circadian function on Huntington’s disease, discussing the common sleep and circadian alterations in patients and their association with disease progression and morbidity.

Categories

Dementia: The paper discusses Huntington's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder, and its impact on sleep and circadian rhythms, which is relevant to the broader category of dementia.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper extensively discusses sleep disorders and disruptions in patients with Huntington's disease, including difficulties with sleep initiation and maintenance.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how sleep abnormalities in Huntington's disease can worsen cognitive symptoms, making it relevant to this category.
Aging: Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that typically has a midlife onset, making the paper relevant to the category of aging.
Psychiatric Disorders: The paper discusses how sleep abnormalities in Huntington's disease can worsen psychiatric symptoms, making it relevant to this category.
Phototherapy: The paper mentions light therapy as a potential approach to improve circadian entrainment in Huntington's disease, making it relevant to this category.
