Filter by:Through the recruition of outpatients who clinically meet the diagnostic criteria and inclusion criteria of PI, the acupuncture group adopts Tiaoshen acupuncture, and the placebo acupuncture group adopts non-insertive acupuncture supported by the Park device, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is used as the main index to evaluate the patients through the scale; subjective indicators like Chalder 14-item fatigue scale, Epworth sleepiness rating, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and objective indicators like polysomnography (PSG), heart rate variability (HRV) is regarded as a secondary index, and then evaluate the clinical efficacy of Tiaoshen acupuncture on PI and explore its mechanism.
With primary insomnia as the research object, by the method of multi-center RCT and needle single cavity and different acupoints compatibility treatment for primary insomnia, to Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI) and evaluation, sleep log evaluation and Polysomnogram(PSG) as the means, such as the single cavity with different acupoints compatibility evaluate clinical curative effect of treating primary insomnia.
Up to 25% of children suffer from sleep problems categorized as "insomnia": difficulty settling, falling asleep, and staying asleep. This leads to daytime sleepiness and negatively effects behaviour, mood, and academic performance. It also has negative effects on primary caregiver's sleep and their daytime functioning. Despite robust evidence supporting the efficacy of behavioural treatments for insomnia in children, very few receive these treatments. The most common treatment for insomnia in children is medication. This pattern of care is troubling because there are no approved medications for insomnia in children, and there are concerns about the safety and side effects of these medications. One of the primary reasons for the low rate of evidence-based treatment is the shortage of available treatment resources for both parents and health care providers. When evidence-based treatments are available, they are usually provided in a traditional service delivery framework. These traditional approaches are often very difficult for parents to access due to scheduling conflicts, incidental costs, and travel difficulties. Thus, there is a critical need for access to effective interventions focused on insomnia for children, and increased knowledge for parents and health care providers about appropriate treatments for insomnia. The Better Nights, Better Days (BNBD) program will provide a potential solution to one of the most common treatment barriers: access to care. BNBD will provide a readily accessible distance treatment via the internet, to increase access to evidence-based care for insomnia in typically developing children aged 1 to 10. BNBD was developed based on evidence-based programs and extant literature. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which participants (primary caregivers of children ages 1 to 10 years with insomnia) will be assigned to Intervention or Usual Care based on a 1-to-1 allocation. The effects of this behavioural sleep intervention will be assessed at 4 and 8 months post baseline assessment. Assessment will include both sleep and daytime functioning of the children, and daytime functioning of their caregivers. This study aligns with the recognized need to more rapidly transfer new scientific knowledge to improve patient care and population health, and targets the validation of new treatment delivery models to increase availability of effective treatment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) has been proven as an effective intervention for the non-pharmacological treatment of insomnia. This study hypothesizes app programs of smart phone would enhance the compliance and performance of behavioral intervention of CBT-I. During a 3-year study period, 3 app modules, including electronic sleep diary along with message reminder system, social persuasion system and Tai-Chi practice system will be tested subsequently for their efficacy.
The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a portable biofeedback device on improving sleep latency and other sleep variables such as nocturnal awake time and daytime functioning in persons with primary insomnia.
