TI  - Sleep-related myoclonus in rheumatic pain modulation disorder (fibrositis 
      syndrome) and in excessive daytime somnolence.
PG  - 145-51
AB  - We describe a new syndrome, Rheumatic Pain Modulation Disorder (RPMD) 
      ("fibrositis syndrome") with sleep-related myoclonus (involuntary periodic leg 
      movements). Measures of sleepiness, fatigue and pain, before and after sleep, and 
      aspects of sleep of nine subjects (Ss) with RPMD and sleep-related myoclonus were 
      compared to nine subjects with excessive daytime somnolence and sleep-related 
      myoclonus. In eight of the RPMD with sleep-related myoclonus and three of those 
      with daytime sleepiness, an alpha (7.5-11 Hz) EEG Non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep 
      disorder was demonstrated. The RPMD with sleep-related myoclonus group contained 
      a greater number of women, more pain, morning fatigue, and disturbances in sleep 
      (more stage changes and alpha EEG sleep prior to leg myoclonus); but in 
      comparison to the sleep-related myoclonus, daytime somnolent group, there were no 
      differences in evening and morning sleepiness, number of limb movements, movement 
      arousals, awakenings after sleep onset, sleep duration, and percent sleep stages.
