Nightmares usually occur during the sleep phase of rapid eye movement (REM) and are associated with some physical symptoms, including sweating, shortness of breath, and lower limb movements. Emotions of fear, anger, shame, and sadness may also accompany nightmares. These symptoms can occur during dreaming, upon awakening, or later when the dream experience is recollected. Nightmares may sporadically occur for everyone, but nightmare disorders are associated with features of impaired mental and physical health and require professional medical treatment. The occurrence of nightmares with several disorders has been reported in the literature, but in migraines it has only been investigated in a small number of studies. Considering the existing relationship between sleep disorders and migraine, the occurrence of nightmares in migraine can negatively affect this association and elevate the risk of depression and anxiety. This, in turn, further reduces the quality of life of affected individuals. Hence, expanding the knowledge on the link between nightmares and migraine, promoting an acceptable quantity and quality of sleep through pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions in the management of nightmares in migraine, and further scientific investigation of the biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying the link, will be highly valuable for optimal care. This focused review, therefore, gives a brief overview of the current understanding of nightmares in migraine to highlight the open questions and value of further research. The ultimate goal is to contribute to timely recognition and sufficient action to offer beneficial outcomes for affected patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the main symptoms associated catastrophizing in women with fibromyalgia and migraine.MethodologyWe conducted an observational study with 26 women diagnosed with both fibromyalgia and migraine, aged between 30 and 60 years (46±8 years). The Pain Catastrophizing Scale was applied as a cut-of point =30, dividing the volunteers in groups with (n=18) and without catastrophizing (n=8). We assessed the quality of sleep (Pittsburgh sleep quality index), the presence of depression and anxiety (Becks depression and anxiety inventories), the quality of life perception (Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire-revised), the disability due to migraine (Migraine disability assessment) and the level of physical activity (International physical activity questionnaire).ResultsThe time of fibromyalgia did not difer (p=0.80) between the group with (8.54±4.88) and without catastrophizing (10.04±3.47). The Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire-revised scores were significantly higher (p=0.01) among women with catastrophizing (78±12.6) than those without (56.6±22.3). There was no diference between the groups (p>0.05) in relation to the other outcomes evaluated.ConclusionThe presence of catastrophizing in women with fibromyalgia and migraine are associated with a worse perception of quality of life. a worse perception of quality of life.

The actual and desired frequency of intercourse was studied in 68 randomly selected chronic peritoneal dialysis (CPD) patients. The results were correlated with standard measures of depression (Beck Depression inventory), anxiety (Patient Related Anxiety Scale), physical symptoms (Kupfer-Detre System 2), adequacy of dialysis (KT/Vurea) and nutrition (serum albumin level). In addition, patients assessed their quality of life (PAQOL) using an 1 to 10 analog scale. The mean +/- SD age of all patients studied was 54 +/- 11 yr, the mean dialysis duration was 24 +/- 24 months; 46% of the patients were female, and 34% were diabetic. Sixty-three percent of the patients reported never having intercourse (Group 1), 19% reported having intercourse < or = two times per month (Group II), and 18% reported having intercourse > two times per month (Group III). Dialysis duration, serum albumin level, KT/Vurea, and age were not significantly different among the three groups. Nearly 50% of patients in Group I desired to have intercourse, and 54% of the patients in Group II desired to have intercourse more frequently, Group I patients had significantly higher depression and anxiety scores, more physical symptoms, a poorer overall PAQOL, and less satisfaction with their sexual activity than Group III patients. These results suggest that there is a high prevalence of sexual difficulties in CPD patients. Patients not having intercourse have a poorer quality of life and higher degree of depression and anxiety than patients having intercourse more than two times per month.

Background: Participation in music therapy is associated with improved psychological and physical indices among chronically ill patients. Listening to music during hemodialysis treatments positively affects patients’ hemodynamics, laboratory values, quality of life, and physical symptoms. The effect of live singing during hemodialysis treatments, however, has not previously been studied. Methods: A total of 24 participants with a diagnosis of end-stage kidney disease participated in the study. The vocalist was a musically trained dialysis nurse. Twelve of the patients listened to 15 min of live singing during 6 consecutive hemodialysis sessions, while the other 12 underwent standard hemodialysis. After a washout period of 2 days, the two groups were reversed. Results: Listening to live music was associated with improvements in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, better quality of sleep, fewer cramps, and reduced anxiety/depression, pain, and itching ( p < .05, all values). Conclusions: Listening to live music during hemodialysis is an effective and potentially low-cost therapy for the dialysis care team to employ during hemodialysis treatments.

Objective. The effectiveness of structured physical activity in depressive disorders treatment depends on various factors. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of exercise on anxiety, depression and quality of life and sleep in complex treatment of depressive disorders depending on the patient’s gender.Material and methods. A total of 187 patients with depression were examined and treated: 107 in the main group and 80 in the comparison group, among them 34 men (average age 38 ± 11.7 years) and 153 women (43.2 ± 13.2 years). The physical exercises program included cardio training as well as strength, endurance and flexibility exercises.Results and conclusions. Inclusion of structured physical activity in treatment allows reducing depression and anxiety symptoms in both men and women more effectively. In women the positive effect on emotional state and psychological component of quality of life was less pronounced, while quality of sleep (associated with breathing, snoring, temperature discomfort) improved to a greater extent.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease of unclear aetiology that affects millions of women around the world. It causes chronic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility, which significantly reduces the quality of daily life. The aim of the following study was a multivariate analysis of the functioning of women diagnosed with endometriosis, and the identification of the relationship between the level of physical activity and sexual functioning, ability to cope with stress, and the degree of anxiety and mood disorders. The prospective survey was conducted of 957 women. The research was carried out using standardised IPAQ, FSFI, HADS, and Mini-Cope questionnaires. The study showed that patients with endometriosis exhibit a higher level of depression and anxiety disorders (p = 0.01) and a lower level of sexual functions (p < 0.001). The influence of physical activity on the functioning of patients with endometriosis was demonstrated. Depending on the clinical stage of endometriosis, the influence of physical activity on individual aspects of life differed. Physical activity was shown, inter alia, to reduce anxiety (p = 0.015), and influence stress-coping strategies. Endometriosis affects the mental and physical health of women. Physical activity can reduce the severity of endometriosis symptoms and improve the daily functioning of patients.
