Abstract

Background

Sleep disturbances are common for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and can have detrimental effects. Sleep disturbances may negatively impact the general well-being and quality of life of children.

Objectives

The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the effect of physical activity (PA) interventions and massage therapy (MT) on sleep disturbances in children with ASD.

Methods

We reviewed empirical research focusing on the effect of PA and MT on sleep-related variables published from inception to January 2023. Five electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, PsycInfo, and Web of Science) were included in the search. Outcomes included sleep efficiency, sleep-onset latency, sleep duration, sleep behavior, and sleep quality. PEDro and McMaster’s scales were used to assess the quality of included studies.

Results

The search yielded a total of 20 studies meeting all inclusion criteria. Fifteen studies related to the effects of PA and five studies related to the effects of MT on sleep disorders in children with ASD. The total number of participants was 511.

Conclusion

PA and MT have beneficial effects on sleep efficiency, sleep-onset latency, wake after sleep onset, and sleep quality. In addition, aquatic exercise and swimming were found to be particularly effective in improving sleep in children with ASD.

体育活动和按摩疗法对自闭症谱系障碍儿童睡眠障碍的影响：系统回顾

背景睡眠障碍是自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童的常见病，可能会产生有害影响。本系统性综述旨在研究体育活动（PA）干预和按摩疗法（MT）对自闭症谱系障碍儿童睡眠障碍的影响。方法我们回顾了从开始到 2023 年 1 月期间发表的有关体育活动和按摩疗法对睡眠相关变量影响的实证研究。检索包括五个电子数据库（PubMed、MEDLINE、Google Scholar、PsycInfo 和 Web of Science）。结果包括睡眠效率、睡眠开始潜伏期、睡眠持续时间、睡眠行为和睡眠质量。使用 PEDro 和麦克马斯特量表对纳入研究的质量进行评估。其中 15 项研究涉及 PA 对 ASD 儿童睡眠障碍的影响，5 项研究涉及 MT 对 ASD 儿童睡眠障碍的影响。结论PA和MT对睡眠效率、睡眠开始潜伏期、睡眠开始后的唤醒以及睡眠质量都有益处。此外，研究还发现水上运动和游泳对改善 ASD 儿童的睡眠特别有效。

期刊介绍： The Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders publishes original articles that provide critical reviews of topics across the broad interdisciplinary research fields of autism spectrum disorders. Topics range from basic to applied and include but are not limited to genetics, neuroscience, diagnosis, applied behavior analysis, psychopharmacology, incidence, prevalence, etiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, measurement of treatment effects, education, perception and cognition. Topics across the life span are appropriate. In addition, given the high rates of comorbid conditions, the interface of sleep disorders, feeding problems, motor difficulties, ADHD, anxiety, depression and other disorders with autism spectrum disorders are appropriate. The Journal aims for an international audience as reflected in the editorial board.
