Sleep quality impaired in children with epilepsy and their parents - China EDM Wire Cutting Machine


 
Business,Business News,Business Opportunities
Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital for Children inBoston have determined that pediatric epilepsy significantly impacts sleep patterns for the child and parents.According to the study available in Epilepsia, a journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of theInternational League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), sharing a room orco-sleeping with their child with epilepsy decreases the sleepquality and prevents restful sleep for parents. Over 1% of children in the U.S. are diagnosed with epilepsy - achronic, neurological disease characterized by recurring seizures.In families impacted by childhood epilepsy, both children andparents often have disrupted sleep patterns. Previous research hasdescribed a reciprocal interaction, where sleep patterns affectseizures and seizure profiles affect sleep. These prior studieshave shown that sleep deprivation can trigger seizures, that sleepdisorders can interfere with seizure control, and that epilepticdischarge can disrupt sleep-wake cycles.

In the present study, Dr. Elizabeth Thiele and colleagues explorethe impact of pediatric epilepsy on child and parental sleepquality, particularly as it relates to sleeping arrangements.Researchers included 105 households with epilepsy and 79 controlsin this study. Parents of children between the ages of two and ten,with and without epilepsy, were surveyed to assess seizure history,child-parent sleep quality, and household sleep arrangements. In this study, the mean age of seizure onset was 2.3 years, and 41%of patients had seizures within the first year of life. In patientswith epilepsy, 64% had at least one seizure within the previousmonth and 37% reported having daily seizures.

At least oneantiepileptic drug was used in 91% of pediatric participants. "Our study determined that households with a child with epilepsyhad higher rates of parent-child room sharing and co-sleepingcompared to controls," said Dr. Thiele. Close to 64% of parents whoreported co-sleeping did not do so prior to onset of their child'sseizures, and nearly 66% did not co-sleep with the child's siblingat the same age. A decreased quality of sleep was reported in 62%of parents who were co-sleeping with their children.

Moreover, children with epilepsy had greater sleep disturbance,including awakening at night, daytime sleepiness, and bedtimeresistance. Parents of children with epilepsy were also found tohave increased sleep dysfunction and greater fatigue . In fact, 69% of parents felt concerned about night seizures and44% reported feeling "rarely" or "never" rested. Results indicatethat nighttime seizures were associated with parental sleep issues,while room sharing and co-sleeping were linked with child sleepproblems.

Dr. Thiele concludes, "Our study demonstrates the profound impactof epilepsy on child and parent sleep patterns. The findingshighlight the need for improved therapies for epilepsy andinnovative nocturnal seizure monitoring technologies." Additional References Citations.
