Filter by:The study aims to evaluate a psychological intervention for individuals who suffer from sleep disturbance and bipolar disorder. We are hoping that this treatment will: (1) improve the quality of life of individuals with bipolar disorder who are suffering from sleep disturbance and (2) reduce the risk of, or help prevent, episodes.
This study is a 28-day polysomnographic and subjective assessment of oral Vestipitant 15mg/day for treatment of Primary Insomnia in adults outpatients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether prazosin will: - reduce the incidence of nightmares and sleep disturbance - increase functioning and sense of well being in combat-trauma exposed Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) Veterans.
The hypothesis for this study is that some individuals may be at much higher risk to develop type 2 diabetes and that the individual diabetes risk will be predicted by the individual level of slow wave sleep activity (SWA).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a newly developed, brief cognitive behavioral intervention, relative to supportive counseling, is effective in reducing acute stress disorder (ASD) and preventing post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression.
Sleep quantity and quality can be influenced by the type of mattress used. This study is being done to see if a mattress cover with optically active particles can help back pain and improve sleep quality.
Patients receiving treatment for advanced cancer often experience co-occuring pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance that are not relieved with medications. Brief cognitive-behavioral coping strategies such as relaxation or imagery have been shown to be useful for these symptoms individually and may be effective for the cluster of co-occuring pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. Because single cognitive-behavioral strategies don't work equally well for all persons, providing training in multiple cognitive-behavioral strategies is necessary. However, oncology nurses report having insufficient time and are often not available to deliver the interventions exactly when patients experience symptom exacerbation. This application proposes a patient-controlled cognitive-behavioral (PC-CB) intervention, using an MP3 player to deliver recorded cognitive-behavioral strategies. The PC-CB intervention would allow patients to select from a variety of cognitive-behavioral strategies based on their personal preferences, and facilitate self-administration of those strategies at whatever time and place the symptoms occur, without increasing burden on nursing staff. Primary aims are (1) to explore acceptability and patterns of use of the recorded cognitive-behavioral strategies and (2) to pilot test efficacy of the PC-CB intervention compared to a waitlist control.
The study examines and illustrates the utility of utilizing actigraphic measurements to assess treatment response.
Uremic etiology Restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been associated with poorer quality of life (QoL) compared to RLS-free counterparts mainly due to sleep deprivation factors. Exercise training in hemodialysis (HD) patients with RLS has been proven to be a safe approach in temporally ameliorating RLS symptoms similarly to the use of pharmacological treatment with dopamine agonists. However it not known whether the exercise anabolic stimulus and the dopamine agonist treatment could act synergistically for the improvement of physical functioning and muscle performance as well as in the amelioration of augmentation symptoms in hemodialysis patients with RLS.
The aim of this exploratory randomized, placebo controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy of Circadin® 2mg in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer Disease (AD) treated with the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. The effects of add-on Circadin® 2mg vs. placebo on the decline in cognitive skills and global functioning, as well as on daytime somnolence and will be assessed.
