Abstract
Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders (CRSWDs) are important sleep disorders whose unifying feature is a mismatch between the preferred or required times for sleep and wakefulness and the endogenous circadian drives for these. Their etiology, presentation, and treatment can be different in pediatric patients as compared to adults. Evaluation of these disorders must be performed while viewed through the lens of a patient's comorbid conditions. Newer methods of assessment promise to provide greater diagnostic clarity and critical insights into how circadian physiology affects overall health and disease states. Effective clinical management of CRSWDs is multimodal, requiring an integrated approach across disciplines. Therapeutic success depends upon appropriately timed nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions. A better understanding of the genetic predispositions for and causes of CRSWDs has led to novel clinical opportunities for diagnosis and improved therapeutics.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Pediatric Neurology is a topical journal that focuses on subjects of current importance in the field of pediatric neurology. The journal is devoted to making the status of such topics and the results of new investigations readily available to the practicing physician. Seminars in Pediatric Neurology is of special interest to pediatric neurologists, pediatric neuropathologists, behavioral pediatricians, and neurologists who treat all ages.
