Abstract

Background: The present study aimed to find the electroencephalography (EEG) characteristics of adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to examine if these EEG indices are associated with insomnia in adult ADHD.

Methods: Twenty-six participants were included in the adult ADHD group, and 26 sex-, age-, and education-matched participants formed the control group. Between-group differences in the resting-state EEG indices and the score of insomnia scale were assessed. Correlational analysis between these EEG indices and the score of insomnia scale was conducted.

Results: The adult ADHD group had more insomnia problems and showed increased power over 4 frequency bands at electrodes frontal area, Cz, and Pz, except for alpha band at electrode frontal area. Furthermore, some EEG indices, especially over fast frequency bands, are associated with the score of insomnia scale.

Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that adult ADHD shows a distinct EEG pattern during the resting state. The correlation between the EEG indices over fast frequency bands in adult ADHD and the score of the insomnia scale may explain the high prevalence of insomnia in adult ADHD.

成人注意缺陷多动障碍的脑电图研究及其与失眠的关系。

背景：本研究旨在发现成人注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的脑电图特征，并探讨这些脑电图指标是否与成人注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的失眠有关。方法：成人ADHD组26人，性别、年龄、教育程度相匹配的对照组26人。比较各组静息状态脑电图指标及失眠量表评分的差异。对这些EEG指标与失眠量表评分进行相关性分析。结果：成人ADHD组失眠问题较多，且在电极额区、Cz区、Pz区除α波段外，其余4个频段功率均增加。此外，一些EEG指标，特别是在快频带上，与失眠量表得分相关。结论：本研究结果表明，成人ADHD在静息状态下表现出明显的脑电图模式。成人ADHD快速频带EEG指标与失眠量表得分的相关性可能解释了成人ADHD高失眠发生率的原因。
