Resumo

Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente as evidências sobre o uso da melatonina no tratamento de distúrbios do sono em crianças e adolescentes com transtorno do espectro do autismo (TEA). Método: Revisão sistemática de ensaios clínicos randomizados controlados sobre o uso de melatonina e incluídos crianças e adolescentes com TEA e distúrbios do sono, pesquisando MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of science, Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials, no período entre setembro e outubro de 2023. O a seleção dos estudos foi realizada por meio do Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Resultados: As alterações nas medidas do Tempo Total de Sono (TTS) e da Latência do Sono (SL) foram estatisticamente significativas. O IC 95% de 1,66 [1,10; 2,23] e 2,55 [1,02; 4,08] mostrou aumento do PT com o uso da intervenção. (p < 0,00001) [18, 19]. Garstang apresentou diferença estatística com o uso de melatonina, com resultado de IC 95% de -5,96 [-8,77, -3,16], assim como Cortesi com IC 95% de -1,23 [-1,75, -0,70] e Gringras com -1,35 [-1,79, -0,91], com latência reduzida para iniciar o sono (p = 0,0002). Conclusões: São necessárias amostras maiores para avaliar a eficácia da melatonina em outros padrões de sono, como despertares noturnos e qualidade do sono.
