To characterize precisely the sleep pattern in children with co-existence of TD + ADHD.
By means of polysomnography, sleep pattern was investigated in 19 children with TD + ADHD unmedicated before and during study and 19 healthy controls, matched for age, gender, and intelligence.
Compared with healthy controls, children with TD + ADHD displayed shorter REM sleep latency and increased REM sleep duration. There was a negative correlational relationship between these REM-sleep alterations and they were determined by hyperactivity symptoms.
Sleep in children with coexistence of TD + ADHD may be characterized by an elevated REM sleep drive. Common mechanisms are suggested to underpin hypermotor symptoms and REM sleep regulation.
精确描述抽动秽语综合征(TD)合并注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)儿童的睡眠模式。
通过多导睡眠图,对19名未用药的TD合并ADHD儿童在研究前和研究期间的睡眠模式进行了调查,并与19名年龄、性别和智力相匹配的健康对照者进行了比较。
与健康对照者相比,TD合并ADHD儿童的快速眼动(REM)睡眠潜伏期较短,REM睡眠时间增加。这些REM睡眠改变之间存在负相关关系,且由多动症状决定。
TD合并ADHD儿童的睡眠可能以REM睡眠驱动力升高为特征。提示存在共同机制支撑多动症状和REM睡眠调节。
