Abstract:
Patients with brain tumors frequently experience comorbid sleep disorders,which can impair daytime functioning and significantly impact patient quality of life and prognosis.The clinical manifestations of sleep disorders in brain tumor patients are primarily characterized by insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness.The underlying mechanisms remain unclear and are likely influenced by multiple factors,including tumor location and type,neurotransmitter abnormalities,and emotional disorders.Both non-pharmacological interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and individualized pharmacological treatments can effectively alleviate sleep disorders in brain tumor patients.Moderate exercise may further improve sleep symptoms and long-term outcomes.The current review summarizes and discuss advanced findings regarding clinical manifestations,risk factors,assessment tools,and intervention strategies for sleep disorders comorbid with brain tumors,aiming to enhance clinical understanding and provide references for early identification and management of this comorbidity.
