Although the existence of a link between migraine and certain psychological features has long been known, data on dissociative experiences in migraine patients is insufficient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of psychoform and somatoform dissociative experiences among migraine patients without aura and to examine their relationship with pain perception and disability.Publication Metadata only A comparison between rate of nonmotor symptom development in essential tremor and Parkinson-s disease.(2015-09-01T00:00:00Z) BAKIM, BAHADIR; Sengul, YILDIZHAN; SENGUL, HS; Sural, MK; FORTA, H; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHANPublication Metadata only Sleep disturbances and excessive daytime sleepiness in migraine: A comparison between comorbidities and disability(2015-01-01T00:00:00Z) Sengul, YILDIZHAN; SENGUL, Hakan S.; Bakim, Bahadir; YUCEKAYA, Sevda K.; YUCEL, Selma; AKGUN, Mucella; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHANMany studies have investigated the association between headache and sleep disorders, but few have focused on migraine. The goal of this study was to evaluate sleep disturbance and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in relation to migraine disability. 120 migraine patients who were diagnosed according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders-II and 45 healthy controls were recruited for the study. All participants completed the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Scale. Migraineurs completed Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) and Visual Analog Scale. The prevalence of poor sleep was 83.3% in the patients and 22.2% in the controls. All PSQI subgroup scores were higher for the patients than the controls except Hours asleep. EDS was more prominent in the patient group (19.2% vs 2.2%). In conclusion, sleep disturbance, EDS, anxiety, and depressive symptoms were detected more commonly in migraine patients and were correlated with the migraine-related disability. The results of multivariate regression analysis indicated that EDS and sleep disturbance were the most effective factors on disability.Publication Metadata only Cognitive Impairment in Young Multiple Sclerosis and Essential Tremor Patients: A Comparative Study(2016-09-01T00:00:00Z) Sengul, Hakan Serdar; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHAN; Yucel, Selma; Forta, Hulki; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHANObjective: In multiple sclerosis (MS); memory, attention, information processing speed, and executive function deficits associated with cortical demyelination and atrophy can be seen in the early phases. In essential tremor (ET) cognitive impairment associated with cerebral-thalamocortical pathway dysfunction, which is characterized by visuospatial functions, verbal memory, and executive functions were seen. We aimed to evaluate cognitive impairment in patients with MS and ET, and to compare the features of impairment.Publication Metadata only Sleep disturbances in essential tremor: an investigation of associated brain microstructural changes using diffusion tensor imaging(2021-05-01T00:00:00Z) Sengul, Yildizhan; Temur, Hafize Otcu; Sengul, Hakan S.; Ustun, Ismet; Radler, Keith; ALKAN, ALPAY; Louis, Elan D.; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHAN; ÜSTÜN, İSMET; ALKAN, ALPAYEssential tremor (ET) is a complex, neurodegenerative disorder that includes motor and non-motor symptoms. There is growing interest in its non-motor features, including sleep disturbances (SD). There are no studies evaluating the brain structural correlates of SD in ET. We aimed to identify brain microstructural changes related to SD in ET. SD was evaluated using the Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI). Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), with reported measures being fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), was used to evaluate microstructural brain changes. DTI data were compared in ET patients with vs. without SD. The mean age of 40 ET patients was 49.20 +/- 21.06 years. The mean PSQI score was 6.13 +/- 3.99, and 18 (45.0%) patients had SD. The mean PSQI score of patients with vs. without SD was 9.78 +/- 2.98 vs. 3.14 +/- 1.28 (p < 0.001). Patients with vs. without SD differed significantly with respect to several DTI findings: right (R) superior cerebellar peduncle ADC (p = 0.04), left (L) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex FA (p < 0.01), L frontooccipital fasciculus FA (p = 0.02), R posterior corona radiata (RPCR) FA (p = 0.01), L posterior corona radiata FA (p = 0.04), R posterior thalamic radiation (RPTR) FA (p = 0.02), and fornix FA (p = 0.03) Significant correlations between PSQI scores and RPCR FA (r = - 0.50, p = 0.02) and RPTR FA (r = - 0.67, p = 0.001) were also observed. Our findings suggest that certain brain changes may be associated with the clinical expression of SD in ET. These changes are discussed in terms of their possible neuroanatomical and physiological significance.Publication Metadata only Esansiyel Tremor Hastalarında Yüz Duygu Tanıma(2018-12-01) Şengül, YILDIZHAN; TUNÇ, ABDULKADİR; YILMAZ, ONUR; ÖZTÜRK, AHMET; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHAN; TUNÇ, ABDULKADIR; YILMAZ, ONUR; ÖZTÜRK, AHMETPublication Metadata only Comparison of optic coherence tomography results in patients with diagnosed epilepsy: Findings in favor of neurodegeneration(2019-03-01T00:00:00Z) TAK, ALİ ZEYNAL ABİDİN; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHAN; Ekmekci, Burcu; KARADAĞ, AYŞE SEVGİ; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHANBackground: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterized with recurrent seizures. Progressive neuronal degeneration is a common consequence of long-term and/or recurrent seizure activity in epilepsy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new medical imaging technique that displays biological tissue layers as high-resolution tomographic sections. The aim of our study was to evaluate OCT findings in patients with epilepsy and to compare OCT findings in terms of disease duration, presence of status, seizure frequency, and drug use.Publication Open Access Investigation of alexithymia and levels of anxiety and depression among patients with restless legs syndrome.(2018-08-29) YILMAZ, ONUR; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHAN; ŞENGÜL, HS; PARLAKKAYA, FATMA BÜŞRA; Öztürk, AHMET; YILMAZ, ONUR; ŞENGÜL, YILDIZHAN; PARLAKKAYA, FATMA BÜŞRA; ÖZTÜRK, AHMETPurpose: The purpose of this study was to examine alexithymia among restless legs syndrome (RLS) patients, compare with healthy controls, and argue the clinical inferences of this relationship. We searched for anxiety and depression and their clinical outcomes among patients and searched whether the results are similar to previous studies. Patients and methods: Eighty-seven RLS patients and 88 age, gender, and educationally matched healthy controls were assessed in Bezmialem Foundation University Hospital. RLS patients and healthy controls were assessed with the Sociodemographic Data Form constructed for the present study, 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS). The patient group was also assessed with the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) RLS Severity Scale. Results: RLS patients were found to have greater TAS-20, BDI, and BAS scores compared with the control group (P < 0.05). RLS severity score was positively correlated with the scores of anxiety and depression scales. However, no significant relationship was found between scores of IRLSSG RLS scale and TAS-20 total and subscale scores. Conclusion: RLS patients were found to be more alexithymic than healthy controls, whereas no significant relationship was found between RLS severity and levels of alexithymia. Still, alexithymia might be a predictor for early diagnosis and may be considered in the treatment and follow-up of RLS. RLS patients have higher depression and anxiety scores than healthy individuals. Thus, depression and anxiety should be taken into consideration throughout the RLS treatment.
