The influence of naps on tinnitus was systematically assessed by exploring the frequency, clinical and demographic characteristics of this phenomenon. 9,724 data from two different tinnitus databases (Tinnitus Hub: n = 6115; Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI): n = 3627) were included. After separate analysis of the databases, these results were then compared with each other. In the Tinnitus Hub survey database, a total of 31.1% reported an influence on tinnitus by taking a nap (26.9% in the TRI database), with much more frequent worsening after a nap than improvement (23.0% a little or a lot worse; TRI: 17.7% worse; 8.1% a little or a lot better; TRI: 9.2% better). The influence of napping on tinnitus was associated in both databases with other clinical features, such as the dependence of tinnitus on night quality, stress and somatosensory maneuvers. The present study confirms the clinical observation that more tinnitus sufferers report worsening after a nap than tinnitus sufferers reporting an improvement. It was consistently shown that tinnitus sufferers reporting nap-induced modulation of tinnitus also report more frequently an influence of night sleep on their tinnitus. Further clinical and polysomnographic research is warranted to better understand the interaction between sleep and tinnitus.
通过探索这种现象的频率、临床和人口统计学特征，系统评估了小睡对耳鸣的影响。纳入了来自两个不同耳鸣数据库（耳鸣中心：n=6115；耳鸣研究倡议（TRI）：n=3627）的 9724 份数据。在对数据库进行单独分析后，将这些结果进行了比较。在耳鸣中心调查数据库中，共有 31.1%的人报告小睡会对耳鸣产生影响（TRI 数据库中为 26.9%），小睡后耳鸣恶化的频率远高于改善（23.0%稍有或明显恶化；TRI：17.7%恶化；8.1%稍有或明显改善；TRI：9.2%改善）。在这两个数据库中，小睡对耳鸣的影响都与其他临床特征相关，例如耳鸣对夜间睡眠质量、压力和躯体感觉动作的依赖。本研究证实了临床观察结果，即更多的耳鸣患者报告小睡后耳鸣恶化，而报告小睡后耳鸣改善的患者较少。研究一致表明，报告小睡引起耳鸣调制的耳鸣患者也更频繁地报告夜间睡眠对其耳鸣的影响。需要进一步进行临床和多导睡眠图研究，以更好地理解睡眠和耳鸣之间的相互作用。
