Sleep Movement Disorders Market

Market Overview

Sleep movement disorders are the disorders disrupting during sleep and generally have undesirable verbal or physical behaviors which frequently result in insomnia and daytime fatigue. Movements during sleep are very common, especially among children. Sleep movement disorders occur in association with sleep during the specific sleep stages. Sleep movement disorders are a class of self-limited clinical conditions which are difficult to diagnose and treat. The classification of sleep movement disorders includes conditions that cause movement during sleep. Some of the major conditions are: restless legs syndrome, sleep rhythmic movement, periodic limb movement disorder, sleep leg cramps, and sleep bruxism. Amongst them, restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder are the most common disorder. Restless legs syndrome is characterized by unpleasant sensations deep inside the legs. Periodic limb movement disorder is characterized by rhythmic movements of the limbs during sleep. Approximately 80% of patients with restless legs syndrome have a periodic limb movement disorder. Symptoms of sleep movement disorders include fragmented or broken sleep, daytime fatigue, and non-refreshing sleep. Sleep movement disorders are generally diagnosed with polysomnography. Polysomnography test records brain waves, the oxygen level in blood, heart rate and breathing, eye, and leg movements. Polysomnography is usually conducted in laboratory/clinics and in-home care settings.

Sleep Movement Disorders Market: Drivers and Restraints

Continuous improvement in the reimbursement structure and increasing prevalence of sleep movement disorders is expected to drive the growth of the global sleep movement disorders market over the forecast period.
