Data showing how Repeated Lumbar Punctures within 3 days may affect CSF Biomarker Levels
https://doi.org/10.5878/14p1-3w07
As an extension of a study on the relationship between sleep deprivation and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease, we performed two Lumbar punctures (LPs) within three days in 13 healthy volunteers (N=13). Our aim was to investigate CSF biomarker dynamics in relation to sleep deprivation. An unexpected sharp rise in biomarker concentrations in the second sample made us consider an artifact and we therefore repeated the experiment, but without sleep restriction, in four additional individuals (N=4). A similar rise in biomarker levels were evident, suggesting an inherent methodological problem with repeated LPs.
Experiment 1: Repeated lumbar punctures within 3 days without sleep intervention.
Participants with controled normal sleep. Biomarker concentrations from each individual lumbar puncture.
Experiment 2: After sleep deprivation and 3 days later, after recovery sleep.
Biomarker concentrations from each individual lumbar puncture. First puncture immediately after sleep deprivation. Second puncture three days later, after recovery sleep.

Sampling procedure:
Description of sampling:
13 healthy volunteers recruited by posters on university campus. 20-40 years of age with no sleep disturbances. Body-Mass-index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2. No continual use of medication or relevant chronic diseases. Self-reported normal bedtime < 00.00, regular morning awakening hours 06.00-09.00, habitual sleep duration of between 6.5-8.5 hours and absence of sleep disturbances (such as chronic insomnia/daytime sleepiness/narcolepsy). Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score < 11. Experiment then repeated with 4 additional individuals
