Title: Refractory Insomnia in an Adolescent with Total Blindness. Author: Tubbs AS, Grandner MA, Combs D. Journal: Yale J Biol Med; 2019 Jun; 92(2):201-204. PubMed ID: 31249480.

In addition, this case highlights the importance of recognizing and treating multifactorial causes of insomnia.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
