Project Details
Description
The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between sleep-related breathing disorders and neurotransmitter levels in patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) using polygraphy with transcutaneous capnography (PG+trCO₂), as well as to analyze the accuracy of neurotransmitter detection in dried blood spots and sweat.
NMDs are rare diseases that currently lack easily accessible instrumental examinations and biomarkers for assessing the risk of sleep disorders. This hinders timely treatment adjustments and the improvement of patients' quality of life.
