The purpose of the study is to compare the overnight efficacy and plasma concentration-time profiles of armodafinil and PROVIGIL, after multiple doses, in patients with excessive sleepiness associated with chronic Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD).
A 12 Month, Open-Label, Flexible Dosage Extension Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Armodafinil (CEP-10953) in the Treatment of Patients with Excessive Sleepiness Associated with Narcolepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome, or Chronic Shift Work Sleep Disorder
The purpose of the study is to test the effect of a sleep disorders detection and treatment program for police officers on their safety, quality of life, and job performance. The program is called Operation Healthy Sleep. We will develop and test a sleep health detection and treatment program that we aim to apply nationwide to reduce police officer fatigue and stress; enhance the ability of officers and their families to cope with police work; improve the health, safety and performance of law enforcement officers; and thereby improve public safety. Part of this program will include a questionnaire asking about about work hours and health related issues. We will then look at how these survey data relate with data on police officer safety and job performance that we are collecting through police department's databases. Sleep disorders are common and treatable, but often remain undiagnosed and untreated. Police officers work some of the most demanding schedules known, which increases their risk of sleep disorders. The public expects officers to perform flawlessly, but unrecognized sleep disorders lead to severe disruption of sleep, which significantly reduces an individual's ability to think clearly and perform well. In addition, sleep loss and sleep disruption affect personal health, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular. We also know that sleep loss increases the risk of injury due to motor vehicle crashes. The goals of Operation Healthy Sleep are to improve officers' health, safety, and performance by reducing the impact of fatigue. The study will take place over two years. In the first year, half of the police officers will take part in Operation Healthy Sleep, and in the second year, the second half will participate. We will carefully select the year 1 and year 2 groups so that the data collected across the two years can be validly compared.
The information gathered from normal pediatric patients seen at the Pediatric Neurology Clinic in the DCAM and LaRabida Children's Hospital will be used to standardize and validate the information gathered from pediatric patients with sleep disorders. This will serve as the information source for a pediatric sleep database.
The purpose of this study is to develop a questionnaire that can be used for standardized patient information gathering in the clinical setting. This will serve as the information source for a pediatric sleep database.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 40 mg per day of istradefylline (KW6002) in patients with Restless Legs Syndrome.
To evaluate the tolerability, bleeding patterns and acceptability of Totelle® 1mg administered to a population of Brazilian women in a continuous combined regime for hormone replacement therapy.
People under stress, such as those caring for an ill family member, often have trouble with their sleep. The aim of this study is to see if reducing stress and changing a caregiver's sleep and wake patterns will improve his/her sleep. The investigators also will see whether improvements in sleep result in improved mood, health, and general functioning.
The primary objective is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy. Both of the subjective and objective sleepiness of the patients were assessed in the experiment by repeat measures.
