Consider the Impact of Sleep Dysfunction on Huntington's Disease Patients, Experts Say
A special issue of the Journal of Huntington's Disease has reviewed what is known about sleep and circadian rhythms in Huntington's disease (HD), and what is not known. Sleep disturbances in HD patients are an under-studied field, but there is growing evidence that sleep changes occur early in the clinical course of the disease. Treatment of sleep and circadian disturbances in HD is an unmet need, and intervention studies are needed to investigate the treatment of poor sleep associated with HD.
