Filter by:Hospitalized adult patients suffer from sleep deprivation, which has been associated with multiple negative consequences, both in short and in the long term. Many factors have been attributed to poor sleep quality, including excessive noise, inappropriate lighting, interactions with the healthcare team, administration of drugs, patients' symptoms, among others. There is scarce evidence reporting multicomponent interventions aimed at ensuring and improving sleep quality in hospitalized patients. The following before-after, randomized controlled trial will evaluate and determine the feasibility, acceptability and effectivity of a multicomponent intervention in improving sleep quality and reducing the consequences of poor sleep in a psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU). The intervention is comprised of changes in health personnel habits, improvements in the PICU environment, patient's psychoeducation and continuous sleep and activity monitoring through a validated wearable device.
This study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TranS-C) in adults with poor sleep and excess weight. Additionally, the study will explore if TranS-C improves sleep health and cardiovascular outcomes.
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of progressive relaxation exercises applied to nurses working in the intensive care unit three times a week for 1 month on sleep quality and severity of fatigue. The research is a pretest-posttest randomized controlled study with an intervention control group.
A randomized controlled trial of auricular acupuncture for sleep disturbances. - Objective 1: Evaluate the effectiveness of a specific protocol of auricular acupuncture in the treatment of sleep disturbance among active duty and otherDoD beneficiaries. - Objective 2: Test whether a brief course of auricular acupuncture treatments among active duty and other DoD beneficiaries with sleep disturbance willalso decrease severity of anxiety, depression, pain and improve sleep and social functioning in subgroup analysis of subjects with known or newlydiagnosed mental health disorders (e.g., anxiety disorders, depression). - Null Hypothesis: Auricular Acupuncture has no effect on sleep disturbance. - Alternative Hypothesis: Auricular Acupuncture reduces sleep disturbance.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effects of self-applied acupressure on arthralgia-fatigue-sleep disturbance symptom cluster in breast cancer survivors receiving aromatase inhibitors. This is a preliminary randomized controlled trial, with a three-arm trial design including verum self-acupressure, sham self-acupressure, and usual care. Subjects will include 52 breast cancer survivors who are receiving aromatase inhibitors and have experienced a moderate level of joint pain and at least one of the two symptoms including fatigue and sleep disturbance. Subjects who are randomized to either the verum self-acupressure group (group A) or the sham self-acupressure group (group B) will receive up to 8 weeks of the intervention consisting of two components: (1) two individual/group acupressure training sessions over 2 weeks and (2) self-acupressure for 6 weeks. The method and duration of self-acupressure in the sham group will be the same to those in the verum intervention group. The control group will receive usual care. The outcome measures of this study will be related to feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effects of self-acupressure. Individual in-depth interviews will be conducted with selected participants in group A and B to understand their perceptions and perceived effectiveness of the intervention.
The goal of this observational study is to collect data to develop a complete package (hardware, user interface software and algorithms) that can monitor sleep-wake stages in neonates. Real-time EEG data will be used to develop and refine the prototype monitor's ability to provide direct real-time information about sleep-wake state. The study design includes multiple iterative training/testing stages to refine the prototype. The study is divided into multiple sub-aims conducted in parallel: data acquisition, algorithm development (including comparison between gold-standard polysomnogram vs. novel algorithm markings of sleep-stages), and graphical user interface software development. The data acquisition and algorithm development are iterative and linked, such that the prototype algorithm from one iteration will be deployed real-time during the next iteration of data acquisition. This allows verification that the algorithm can perform real-time and provides prospective testing data, which is later folded into the training data for the next iteration, for verification and validation of the system.
Migraine is a common disabling disorder and its substantial burden is associated with considerable negative impact on quality of life. Several pharmacological treatments are available for migraine prophylaxis but insufficient efficacy and significant side effects preclude them being widely using in migraine treatment. Recently, growing evidences have suggested that migraines are closely associated with sleep and circadian rhythms. Sleep disturbance is well-known as one of the triggers for migraine episode, and too much sleep (i.e., sleeping more on weekend) can also trigger migraine attacks. In addition, shift-work or jet lag have been reported to be triggers in some migraines; regular and good sleep would benefit migraine. Intriguing, hypothalamus is thought to be migraine generator and sleep and circadian activity rhythm also under controlled by hypothalamus. The evidence suggests an influence of both sleep and the circadian system with migraine. In the past, clinical evidence has shown that light therapy can stabilize the sleep architecture and further improve insomnia related to circadian rhythm disorders. However, the beneficial effect of light therapy on migraine with sleep disturbance has not yet been determined. This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study aim to: 1. Explore the clinical efficacy of bright light therapy for migraine prevention; 2. Explore the underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms of light therapy on migraine prevention.
The objective of this study is to carry out a randomized clinical trial with healthcare workers in Mexico through a web platform. The intervention aims to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, burnout, stress, compassion fatigue, and increase the quality of life and sleep and self-care, as well as improve skills in providing bad news to patients and their families. A self-applied intervention will be compared with an intervention delivered by therapists providing the same intervention implemented through Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams, to ensure sanitary protection measures.
This RCT study aims to compare effectiveness physical exercise and melatonin supplement on treating sleep disturbance in children with ASD. A four-arm randomized controlled trial with equal allocation ratio to the three intervention groups (i.e., jogging; melatonin supplement, combine jogging and melatonin supplement) and one placebo-control group will be conducted . Actigraph device and sleep log will be used for sleep assessment. 6-sulfoxymelatonin from 24-h and first morning urinary samples. The investigators will monitor the changes of four sleep parameters (sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset and total sleep duration) and the 24-h and first morning melatonin level throughout the whole study.
Patients with cancer often suffer from a symptom cluster, including pain, fatigue, sleep difficulties, emotional distress and cognitive impairments. In oncology settings, there is a growing interest in "mind-body" intervention, to relieve them in a non-pharmacological way. Hypnosis and meditation are two modified state of consciousness shown to positively this symptom cluster. Cognitive trance is also a modified state of consciousness, but is induced by body movements and/or vocalizations. Subjective reports of experts in cognitive trance showed a modification of self, emotion regulation, pain perception, attention and concentration. However, we still need to develop studies to better characterise this particular state of consciousness and its clinical applications. Our randomized-controlled trial aims at comparing both interventions in terms of (1) benefits on cancer patients' quality of life (pain, fatigue, sleep, distress, cognitive impairments), (2) phenomenological/subjective experiences and neurophysiological correlates, and (3) mechanisms involved in patients' responsiveness, based on the biopsychosocial model of hypnosis.
