Polysomnography research at the Clínic

The Clínic participates in the Clinical Neurophysiology research group of the Clinical and Experimental Neurosciences area of IDIBAPS.

The participation of this group has led to contributing and describing new lines of research, such as:

• Relating REM sleep behaviour disorder as the first manifestation of neurodegenerative disease.
• Discovering anti-IgLON5 disease, an autoimmune condition associated with sleep disorders, such as parasomnias and apnoeas.
• The description of sleep disorders in contact sports professionals.
• The identification of sleep apnoea as a cardiovascular risk factor.
• The identification of sleep disorders (insomnia, hypersomnia) as predictors of a reactivation of bipolar disorders.
