A total of 171 children, 57 with Tourette syndrome, 57 with learning disabilities and the rest with seizure disorders, were studied to discover the incidence of somnambulism. Of the 13 identified sleepwalkers, 10 had Tourette syndrome. It is argued that this may be due to a disturbance in serotonin metabolism.
共有171名儿童参与了研究,以探究梦游症的发病率,其中57名患有妥瑞氏症,57名有学习障碍,其余的患有癫痫症。在确诊的13名梦游症患者中,有10名患有妥瑞氏症。有人认为,这可能是由于血清素代谢紊乱所致。
