Melatonin decreases daytime challenging behaviour in persons with intellectual disability and chronic insomnia

Background  Persons with intellectual disability (ID) and sleep problems exhibit more daytime challenging behaviours than persons with ID without sleep problems. Several anecdotal reports suggest that melatonin is not only effective in the treatment of insomnia, but also decreases daytime challengin...

description Background  Persons with intellectual disability (ID) and sleep problems exhibit more daytime challenging behaviours than persons with ID without sleep problems. Several anecdotal reports suggest that melatonin is not only effective in the treatment of insomnia, but also decreases daytime challenging behaviour. However, the effect of melatonin treatment on daytime challenging behaviour in persons with ID has not been investigated in a randomised controlled trial. Method  We investigated the effects of melatonin on challenging behaviour using data from two randomised controlled trials on the efficacy of melatonin on sleep problems in 49 persons (25 men, 24 women; mean age 18.2 years, SD = 17.1) with ID and chronic insomnia. Participants received either melatonin 5 mg (

Participants received either melatonin 5 mg (&lt;6 years 2.5 mg) or placebo during 4 weeks. Daytime challenging behaviour was measured by the Storend Gedragsschaal voor Zwakzinnigen – Maladaptive Behaviour Scale for the Mentally Retarded (SGZ; Kraijer &amp; Kema, 1994) at baseline week and the end of the fourth treatment week. Salivary dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) was measured at baseline and the last day of the fourth treatment week. Sleep logs were used to gather information on sleep parameters. Results  Melatonin treatment significantly reduced SGZ scores, sleep latency, and number and duration of night wakes, and treatment increased total sleep time and advanced DLMO. However, after 4 weeks of treatment, change in SGZ scores did not significantly correlate with change in sleep parameters, nor with change in DLMO. Relatively strong correlations were found between change in SGZ scores, change in DLMO and number of night wakes. Conclusions  Melatonin treatment in persons with ID and chronic insomnia decreases daytime challenging behaviour, probably by improving sleep maintenance or by improving circadian melatonin rhythmicity.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0964-2633</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1365-2788</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2788.2009.01223.x</identifier><identifier>PMID: 19888921</identifier><identifier>CODEN: JIDREN</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford, UK: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Behavior ; Behavior Modification ; Behavior Problems ; Challenging behaviour ; Child ; Child, Preschool ; Chronic Disease ; Chronic insomnia ; Circadian Rhythm - drug effects ; Clinical trials ; Comparative Analysis ; Correlation ; Correlation analysis ; Developmental disabilities ; dim light melatonin onset ; Drug Therapy ; Female ; Hormones ; Humans ; Insomnia ; Intellectual Disability ; Intellectual Disability - drug therapy ; Intellectual Disability - psychology ; Learning disabilities ; Male ; Melatonin ; Melatonin - blood ; Melatonin - therapeutic use ; Mental Retardation ; Middle Aged ; Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic ; Sleep ; Sleep - drug effects ; Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders - drug therapy ; Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders - psychology ; Sleep problems ; Social Behavior Disorders - drug therapy ; Social Behavior Disorders - psychology ; Wakefulness - drug effects</subject><ispartof>Journal of intellectual disability research, 2010-01, Vol.54 (1), p.52-59</ispartof><rights>2009 The Authors.
