Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of melatonin for improving sleep in pediatric epilepsy.
Description
Sleep disturbances are more prevalent in children with epilepsy whose sleep can be disrupted by seizures occurring during the night and/or during the day. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced in the pineal which regulates sleep-wake cycles and facilitates quality sleep. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of melatonin for improving sleep in pediatric epilepsy.
