摘要:
Objective: To explore the neurophysiological mechanism of clinically effective transcutaneous spinal cord direct current stimulation (tsDCS) on idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS), structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI), and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) were applied to reveal the structural and functional changes in idiopathic RLS patients after tsDCS. Methods: Thirty idiopathic RLS patients and 20 gender- and age-matched healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. All patients were randomly divided into anodal treatment group and sham treatment group and were treated with tsDCS for 2 weeks. The international RLS Rating Scale (IRLS-RS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to evaluate the severity of RLS and sleep quality respectively. The sMRI and rs-fMRI data of anodal treatment group and HC were collected. Voxel-based morphology (VBM) and resting-state functional connectivity analysis were used to assess the change of cortical gray matter volume (GMV) and corresponding functional connectivity (FC) respectively in anodal treatment group after tsDCS treatment. Results: Sham treatment group showed no significant change in IRLS-RS and PSQI scores after tsDCS, while significant decrease scores were observed in anodal treatment group, and the improvement sustained up to 2 weeks. Anodal treatment group showed significant regional decrease of GMV in bilateral cuneus compared to the HC. After tsDCS treatment, the GMV in the bilateral cuneus and left ventral post central gyrus (PoCG_L) decreased significantly. The FC between bilateral cuneus and left primary visual cortex (V1_L), and between right cuneus (Cune_R) and right lingual gyrus (LG_R) increased significantly after tsDCS, whereas the FC between PoCG_L and supplementary motor area (SMA) decreased significantly. The changed FC between PoCG_L and SMA, between Cune_R and V1_L were correlated with the changed IRLS-RS. Conclusion: Disturbance of sensorimotor network and visual processing network may be involved in the pathogenesis of RLS. tsDCS probably can regulate FC in the sensorimotor cortex and visual processing cortex to relieve the symptom of RLS. Continuous tsDCS may improve the symptoms of RLS patients for a long time. tsDCS probably could provide a potential non-pharmacologic treatment for idiopathic RLS patients. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
