Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the etiological factors, clinical presentation, and neuropsychological consequences of sleep disorders in school-aged children. Numerous scientific publications have demonstrated that insufficient sleep duration, impaired sleep architecture, and fragmented nighttime sleep negatively affect children’s attention, academic performance, emotional regulation, and behavioral functioning. Based on these considerations, the therapeutic efficacy of micro-polarization—an innovative non-invasive neuromodulation method—was examined in the correction of pediatric sleep disorders.

Micro-polarization employs low-intensity direct current (1–3 mA) applied to specific cortical regions, modulating neuronal excitability, enhancing synaptic plasticity, restoring neurovegetative balance, and improving functional integration within cortical networks. Within the scope of this study, the clinical, polysomnographic, and electroencephalographic (EEG) outcomes of children receiving micro-polarization therapy were evaluated and compared before and after treatment.

Analysis of clinical and instrumental findings revealed that micro-polarization significantly improved sleep structure and quality, reduced sleep latency, decreased nighttime awakenings, stabilized deep sleep stages, and restored the physiological ratio of REM/NREM phases. EEG parameters showed reduced instability of theta and delta rhythms and normalization of regional alpha activity. Additionally, noticeable improvements were observed in attention, memory, emotional stability, and overall behavior.

The obtained results confirm that micro-polarization is an effective, safe, and physiologically grounded neurorehabilitation method for treating sleep disorders in school-aged children. The non-invasive nature, absence of adverse effects, and good tolerance among children further enhance its clinical relevance.
