Fatigue in Dystonia (IRB No. 108-2008)
The purpose of this study is to determine how common fatigue and sleepiness are in patients
with dystonia.
The purpose of the study is to determine the prevalence of fatigue in patients with
dystonia. There are many factors which may impact fatigue but perhaps the most important of
these is sleep. It is therefore critical that we collect data on sleep habits and sleepiness
to help interpret our data on fatigue. We will be using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale to
assess daytime somnolence and the Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale to assess the presence or
absence of common sleep disorders affecting patients with movement disorders along with the
Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory and the Fatigue Severity Scale.
