Subclinical rhythmic electrographic discharge of adults (SREDA) is one of the rarest and most challenging non-epileptic electroencephalographic variants. Although the pathogenesis of this activity is unclear, an association with vascular insufficiency and cerebral hypoxia has been proposed. SREDA usually occurs in adulthood, but there are few reports in the pediatric population.

Autonomic nervous system dysfunction with a predominance of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) over the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is reported in RTT, along with exercise fatigue and increased sudden death risk.

The syndrome is characterized by cognitive, social, and physical impairments, as well as sleep disorders and epilepsy. Notably, dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system is a key feature of the syndrome.

Among the currently investigated candidates, Er^{3+} ions are particularly appealing due to their 1.5 μm optical transition in the telecom band as well as their long spin coherence times.
