![]() ![]() Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine the prevalence and risk factors of EDS in a large sample of individuals with major depression.ĭata from 703 individuals with major depression were retrospectively collected from the sleep laboratory research database of Erasme Hospital for analysis. To date, few studies have investigated the prevalence and risk factors of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in major depression. This warrants further investigation for the causes and effects as well as underlying mechanisms of EDS in TMD. These patients possessed a significantly higher level of TMD symptom severity, stress, anxiety, and depression, compared to TMD patients without EDS.ĭiscussion: TMD patients with EDS distinctively suffer both physically and psychologically. Results: Approximately 28.57% of TMD patients presented with EDS. The level of statistical significance was set at 0.05. The relationship between EDS status and associated factors, such as demographic, TMD symptom severity, and psychological status was analyzed using chi-square and t-test. TMD patients were classified according to ESS scores into TMD patients with EDS (ESS ≥10) and without EDS (ESS <10). ![]() The EDS status was measured by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). ![]() Methods: Medical records of 350 TMD patients were collected. Objective: To investigate the relationship between excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and associated factors in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients.
