The current study examined eye movements during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep of children ages 6-10 with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and a control group without any known medical or psychiatric diagnoses. Electro-ocular recordings from archived polysomnograms were evaluated. An in-depth analysis revealed significantly lower frequency, higher amplitude eye movement in those with ADHD (N = 13) compared to the control group (N = 16). Although the results of this study are novel, defining distinct differences in eye movement during REM sleep of children with ADHD has the potential to supplement current biopsychosocial diagnostic models and further the understanding of the neurodevelopmental basis of ADHD.
当前研究调查了6至10岁患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童在快速眼动（REM）睡眠期间的眼动情况，并与一个没有任何已知医学或精神疾病诊断的对照组进行了比较。对存档的多导睡眠图的眼电记录进行了评估。深入分析发现，与对照组（N = 16）相比，患有ADHD的儿童（N = 13）的眼动频率显著更低，幅度更高。尽管这项研究的结果很新颖，但确定ADHD儿童在REM睡眠期间眼动的明显差异有可能补充当前的生物心理社会诊断模型，并进一步加深对ADHD神经发育基础的理解。
