The present study examined rates of sleep disorders and sleep medication use, and predictors of sleep disturbance in children with persistent tic disorders (PTD). Sixty-three parents of children aged 10 to 17 years with PTDs completed an internet survey evaluating sleep patterns and clinical symptoms. Insomnia (19.4%), nightmares (16.1%), and bruxism (13.1%) were the most commonly reported lifetime sleep disorders. Fifty-two percent endorsed current sleep medication use. Higher ADHD severity, overall life impairment, and female sex predicted greater sleep disturbance. Findings suggest the utility of clinical management of co-occurring ADHD and impairment to mitigate sleep disturbance in children with PTDs.
本研究调查了持续性抽动障碍(PTD)患儿的睡眠障碍发生率、睡眠药物使用情况以及睡眠障碍的预测因素。63名10至17岁患有PTD的患儿家长完成了一项网络调查,评估睡眠模式和临床症状。失眠(19.4%)、噩梦(16.1%)和磨牙症(13.1%)是最常报告的终生睡眠障碍。52%的家长认可目前使用睡眠药物。注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)严重程度较高、整体生活受损以及女性性别预示着更大的睡眠障碍。研究结果表明,对同时存在的ADHD和功能损害进行临床管理,有助于减轻PTD患儿的睡眠障碍。
