Filter by:The aim of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of implementing an antipsychotic deprescribing initiative that is driven by pharmacists working collaboratively with the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) interdisciplinary team.
The purpose of this research is to look at the effects of computerized cognitive training on sleep, mental abilities (cognition), and other aspects of daytime functioning, such as mood, and arousal
The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider.
Sleep is ubiquitous in animals and humans, and disruptions are of high clinical importance. Still, the neural basis of sleep perception is insufficiently understood, which limits the development of new treatments. The current project is designed to further contribute to the understanding of the neural basis of sleep perception and to the development of innovative treatments for disrupted sleep (insomnia).
Insomnia and OSA coexist in clinical populations, but the prevalence of comorbid insomnia among OSA patients in the community and risk factors remain poorly known. Little is known about the impact of sleep apnea and insomnia on the quality of life and quality of sleep compared to the presence of one of the sleep disorders alone. Our hypothesis is that the co-existence of OSA and insomnia is high in our community. We also hypothesized that the co-existence of OSA and insomnia promotes greater impairment of quality of life and quality of sleep when compared to the presence of OSA or insomnia alone. Patients referred to polysomnography will be submitted to 6 questionnaires to assess daytime sleepiness (EPWORTH), insomnia severity index (ISI), anxiety and depression assessment (Beck's anxiety and depression inventory), quality of life assessment(WHOQOL- BREF) and sleep quality assessment (Pittsburgh questionnaire) and they will also be submitted to a polysomnography type III. It will be calculated the frequency of insomnia, OSA and the comorbidity between insomnia and OSA in the sample. It will be analysed correlations between the insomnia severity index, apnea and hypopnea index, Epworth sleepiness scale, quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF), anxiety and depression scale (Beck's anxiety and depression inventory) and Pittsburgh sleep quality scale. Insomnia severity index scores, Epworth sleepiness scale, quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF), anxiety and depression scale (Beck anxiety and depression inventory) and Pittsburgh sleep quality scale will be compared according to the presence and absence of OSA and the presence and absence of insomnia and the presence of the comorbidity insomnia and OSA.
This study aims to evaluate behavioral interventions in conjunction with medical rehabilitation to promote functional health in patients recovering from orthopedic surgery. Half of the subjects in this study will be assigned to an intervention that meets with a study therapist to discuss implementing healthy habits. The other half of subjects will assigned to an intervention group that meets with a study therapists to discuss implementing healthy sleep habits. Both groups will undergo several physical and cognitive assessments.
The interventional study will have two main aims. First, to compare two interventions aiming to improve sleep in chronic pain patients. And secondly, to study the associations of sleep, mood, chronic pain and quality of life. Half of participants will go through iCBT intervention for insomnia and the other half will receive sleep hygiene education. Additionally, the study will gather information which patients will benefit/will not benefit the tertiary pain clinic treatment when the outcome variable is the Health-related Quality of Life (HrQoL).
Depression and insomnia occur together in a substantial number of patients. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an effective treatment for depression, but does not help insomnia symptoms in depressed patients. A form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been developed that specifically helps with insomnia (CBT-I). The study team will give CBT-I to patients who are being treated with TMS for depression, who also have insomnia, to determine if it helps insomnia symptoms.
Insomnia is prevalent in adolescents. Together with an increase of evening preference (i.e. evening chronotype) in adolescent, sleep disturbance in adolescents are associated with a constellation of adverse outcomes. Insomnia and evening chronotype in adolescents are also found to predict the development of mental health problems and negative health-related outcomes in young adulthood. While cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and bright light therapy were evidenced to be effective in managing sleep problems in adults, there is limited evidence to support their efficacy in children and adolescents. To address the limitations in the existing literature, this study aims to conduct a randomised controlled trial to examine the effects of CBT-I and light therapy on insomnia and mood symptoms, and other clinical and daytime symptoms, as well as overall functioning in adolescents with insomnia (particularly sleep onset insomnia) and evening chronotype.
Considering the known challenges facing newly graduated nurses, there are possibilities to implement preventive actions. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of a preventive intervention among newly graduated nurses, supporting proactive strategies for sleep and recuperation in relation to work related stress and shift work.
