Sleep-Related Challenges and Family Functioning in Children and Adolescents Previously Treated for Craniopharyngioma

This study investigates sleep-related challenges and their association with family functioning in children and adolescents previously treated for craniopharyngioma.

Year:2024

Children and adolescents with craniopharyngioma had significantly higher ratings of self-reported excessive daytime sleepiness, bedtime fears/worries, and restless legs symptoms compared to their relatively healthy peers. Lack of family routines and poor family functioning were related to poor sleep-related outcomes and increased excessive daytime sleepiness.
