Objective

We investigated rate-dependent depression (RDD) of the Hoffman reflex (H-reflex) in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative disease with ventral horn involvement.

Patients and methods

In this case–control study, we enrolled 27 patients with ALS and 30 matched healthy control subjects. Clinical and electrophysiological assessments, as well as RDD in response to various stimulation frequencies (0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, 3 Hz and 5 Hz), were compared between groups. Multiple clinical and electrophysiological factors were also explored to determine any underlying associations with RDD.

Results

The ALS group showed a significant loss of RDD across all frequencies compared to the control group, most notably following 1 Hz stimulation (19.1 ± 20.3 vs. 34.0 ± 13.7%, p = 0.003). Among factors that might influence RDD, the enlargement of the motor unit potential (MUP) showed a significant relationship with RDD following multifactor analysis of variance (p = 0.007) and Pearson correlation analysis (ρ = − 0.70, p < 0.001), while various upper motor neuron manifestations were not correlated with RDD values (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

We report a loss of RDD in patients with ALS. The strong correlation detected between the RDD deficit and increased MUP suggests that RDD is a sensitive indicator of underlying spinal disinhibition in ALS.

肌萎缩侧索硬化症中的频率依赖性抑郁症受损

客观的

我们调查了肌萎缩侧索硬化症 (ALS) 患者霍夫曼反射 (H-反射) 的速率依赖性抑制 (RDD),这是一种腹角受累的退行性疾病。

患者和方法

在这项病例对照研究中,我们招募了 27 名 ALS 患者和 30 名匹配的健康对照受试者。在各组之间比较临床和电生理评估,以及响应各种刺激频率(0.5 Hz、1 Hz、3 Hz 和 5 Hz)的 RDD。还探索了多种临床和电生理因素以确定与 RDD 的任何潜在关联。

结果

与对照组相比,ALS 组在所有频率上都显示出 RDD 的显着损失,最明显的是在 1 Hz 刺激后(19.1 ± 20.3 对 34.0 ± 13.7%,p  = 0.003)。在可能影响 RDD 的因素中,经过多因素方差分析 ( p  = 0.007) 和 Pearson 相关分析 ( ρ  = - 0.70, p  < 0.001),运动单位电位 (MUP) 的扩大与 RDD 有显着关系,而各种上运动神经元表现与RDD值无关(p  > 0.05)。

结论

我们报告了 ALS 患者的 RDD 损失。在 RDD 缺陷和 MUP 增加之间检测到的强相关性表明 RDD 是 ALS 中潜在的脊柱去抑制的敏感指标。
