Abstract
Introduction: Sleep disorders represent an important comorbidity in individuals with ADHD. While the links between ADHD and sleep disturbances have been extensively investigated, research on the management of sleep disorders in individuals with ADHD is relatively limited, albeit expanding.
Areas covered: The authors searched PubMed, Medline, PsycInfo, Embase+Embase Classic, Web of Sciences databases, and clinicaltrials.gov up to 4 January 2024, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of any intervention for sleep disorders associated with ADHD. They retained 16 RCTs (eight on pharmacological and eight on non-pharmacological interventions), supporting behavioral intervention and melatonin, and nine ongoing RCTs registered on clinicaltrials.gov.
Expert opinion: The pool of RCTs testing interventions for sleep disorders in individuals with ADHD is expanding. However, to inform clinical guidelines, there is a need for additional research in several areas, including 1) RCTs based on a precise phenotyping of sleep disorders; 2) pragmatic RCTs recruiting neurodevelopmental populations representative of those seen in clinical services; 3) trials testing alternative interventions (e.g. suvorexant or light therapy) or ways to deliver them (e.g. online); 4) sequential and longer-term RCTs; 5) studies testing the impact of sleep interventions on outcomes other than sleep; 6) and implementation of advanced evidence synthesis and precision medicine approaches.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics (ISSN 1473-7175) provides expert reviews on the use of drugs and medicines in clinical neurology and neuropsychiatry. Coverage includes disease management, new medicines and drugs in neurology, therapeutic indications, diagnostics, medical treatment guidelines and neurological diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer''s and Parkinson''s.
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Review format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion - a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points
