Sleep Disturbances and Epileptiform Activity in a Subpopulation of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): A Literature Review Generating an Hypothesis with Implications for Drug Therapy
The use of electroencephalography and sleep studies in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the associated behavioral disorders is reviewed. Based on the available literature, we propose a hypothesis indicating four subtypes of ADHD. The usefulness of EEGs and sleep laboratory indice...

| description | The use of electroencephalography and sleep studies in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the associated behavioral disorders is reviewed. Based on the available literature, we propose a hypothesis indicating four subtypes of ADHD. The usefulness of EEGs and sleep laboratory indices in detecting a subgroup of patients with submaximal responses to methylphenidate is also discussed. |
