НІЧНИЙ СОН У ВІДДАЛЕНОМУ ПЕРІОДІ ВИБУХОВОЇ ЗАКРИТОЇ ЧЕРЕПНО-МОЗКОВОЇ ТРАВМИ

Abstract

The removed period of mild fighting closed craniocerebral injury is syndromologically manifested by cephalic, vertiginous, asthenoneurotic syndromes, autonomic disorders, as well as disorders of the sleep-wake cycle. 80–90 % of military personnel receive damage to the central nervous system of varying severity from explosive devices. The aim of the study – to investigate the possibility of night sleep in patients with long–term effects of explosive disease, which leads to a reduction in the risk of disability and an improvement in the quality of life. Materials and Methods. A subjective and objective assessment of night sleep was carried out in 28 men with long-term effects of closed traumatic brain injury, whose average age was 37 years. Results and Discussion. In the subjective assessment of sleep, patients noted pronounced pre-intra- and postsomnic disorders, the presence in 50 % of cases of episodes of complete absence of night sleep. Dissociation between the subjective and objective assessment of night sleep is noted. According to polysomnography, it was revealed that sleep disorders had moderate severity and related to significant changes in the organization of slow–wave sleep, characterized by the activation of mechanisms for implementing stage C2 and a decrease in the representation of delta sleep. Conclusions. It was concluded that polysomnographic studies are needed in this category of patients in order to select adequate therapy and minimize complications in the recovery post-traumatic period.
