Growth disturbances have been demonstrated in hyperactive children treated with stimulant medication. This study examines sleep related growth hormone secretion in patients with hyperactive syndrome and relative short stature. Five such patients were compared with 9 age matched controls. There were no differences in sleep patterns, and growth hormone levels for the hyperactive children were within normal limits. This study suggests that hyperactive children with short stature have normal sleep patterns and normal sleep related growth hormone secretion.
在接受兴奋剂药物治疗的多动症儿童中已证实存在生长发育障碍。本研究调查了多动症综合征伴相对身材矮小患者与睡眠相关的生长激素分泌情况。将5名此类患者与9名年龄匹配的对照者进行了比较。睡眠模式方面没有差异，多动症儿童的生长激素水平在正常范围内。这项研究表明，身材矮小的多动症儿童具有正常的睡眠模式和与睡眠相关的正常生长激素分泌。
