Notes de l'éditeur
Sleep problems are commonly reported in children with autistic and____ disorders.
May have similar epileptiform activity like in Landau Kleffner syndrome over the perysilvian areas, although in 75% of the patients may have this type of activity outside these areas. None of the children with autism had more than four cycles, whereas all the control children had 5 or more.
Overlap autismo-epilepsia. TD: Trast Dsintegrativo (es un tipo de TGD), AV: agnosia verbal.
From a survey of 226 children with autism. The newsletter of autism society. 10% of these were sever and 22% moderate.
Estudio de Galland: 22 pacientes, IAH > 1
Estudio de Turkdogan: cuestionario a 4346 escolares 10-14 a, luego cuestionario especifico: SPI = 2,74%, DC = 54,5% de los SPI, AF = 16%
In the first study, the children’s sleep problems had previously failed to be alleviated by behavioural management techniques. One had 16 children with autism and was also randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover The other had 25 children with autism, but there was no placebo control group and melatonin was combined with behavioural techniques, making it difficult to assess the effect of melatonin on sleep. All children improved with melatonin treatment. Sleep problems returned in 16 out of 25 children when melatonin was discontinued but re-administration of melatonin was effective again. Treatment gains were maintained at 12 and 24-month follow-ups.
There are some obvious disadvantages to chronotherapy though; it is labour intensive and requires around the clock monitoring. It would be very disruptive to a family’s daily schedule and is not possible to do if the child has to go to school during the day.
