Preserved daily melatonin rhythm under dim light in patients with Kleine-Levin Syndrome

AI simplified

Abstract

Circadian melatonin profiles remain comparable in Kleine-Levin Syndrome patients during both remission and relapse phases.

  • No significant differences were observed in sleep onset and offset times between KLS patients in remission and healthy controls.
  • Rest-activity rhythms in KLS patients during remission were similar to those of healthy controls.
  • Key circadian melatonin parameters, including dim light melatonin onset, acrophase, amplitude, and midline-estimating statistic of rhythm, showed no significant differences between groups.
  • Melatonin timing and amplitude were comparable among KLS patients during remission and relapse phases.
