Abstract

Sleep disturbances appear as a comorbid condition in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of activity levels during sleep and therapeutic response to methylphenidate (MPH). Nightly sleep actigraphic recordings during a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical study (1-week of 0.5 mg/kg MPH; 1-week of placebo) were obtained on 44 children, 6 to 12 years old, diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (DSM-IV). Significant (p <.005) differences between the conditions were found in several software-computed parameters: sleep onset latency (MPH, 39.3 minutes; placebo, 28.2 minutes), sleep efficiency (MPH, 78.0%; placebo, 80.4%), total sleep time (MPH, 7 hours; 57 minutes; placebo, 8 hours, 16 minutes). No significant differences on any of these measures were found among the 26 subjects who showed a moderate or large global improvement on MPH over placebo compared with 18 subjects who showed mild or no clinical improvement. MPH, given twice daily, induces a slight but significant sleep disturbance. Motor activity levels during sleep did not differentiate children who responded to MPH from those who did not respond. This suggests tha...Continue Reading
