Filter by:The primary aim of this study is to evaluate if a single bout of AM vs PM resistance exercise has different effects on insulin sensitivity and sleep. A randomized cross-over trial be used to compare resistance exercise at two different times of the day. Each condition will take place in a laboratory setting. Each condition will consist of exercise, overnight sleep, and oral glucose tolerance tests the following day. The AM exercise will occur ~1.5 hours after habitual wake, and PM exercise will occur ~11 hours after habitual wake. After a 2-6 week washout, participants will complete the other condition. The hypothesis is that PM exercise will be more beneficial than AM exercise in improving insulin sensitivity. This study could identify if there is a better time of day to perform resistance exercise to decrease risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Sleep disorder is common in ICU patients, such as reduced sleep time, fragmentation, and abnormal sleep rhythm. In 2023, American Thoracic Society released a research statement on sleep and circadian disruption(SCD) in ICU, which considered SCD is an important potential target for improving critical illness outcomes. Although polysomnography(PSG) is the gold standard of sleep measurement, subjective sleep evaluation tools are still used in most clinical studies related to sleep in ICU. This makes the sleep quality of ICU patients overestimated and difficult to reflect their true sleep conditions. And the answers to how and which outcomes different levels of sleep deprivation affect patient outcomes are still unclear and need to be further explored.
This interventional study aims to test the effects of sleep disruption on pain sensitivity and biomechanics in healthy individuals during experimental knee and shoulder pain. The main question the study aims to answer is: 1) Does sleep fragmentation increase experimental knee and shoulder pain and what are the underlying mechanisms? Participants will receive two injections a) Hypertonic saline (painful) in the knee and b) hypertonic saline (painful) in the upper arm.
To explore and compare the effects of esketamine and remimazolam on postoperative sleep disturbance in patients undergoing oocyte retrieval
Feasibility study investigating the effects of dry needling on individuals with chronic neck pain and sleep disturbance.
This study will investigate the biological mechanisms linking sleep disruption by vibration and noise, and the development of cardiometabolic disease. In a laboratory sleep study, the investigators will play railway vibration of different levels during the night. The investigators will also measure objective sleep quality and quantity, cognitive performance across multiple domains, self-reported sleep and wellbeing outcomes, and blood samples. Blood samples will be analyzed to identify metabolic changes and indicators of diabetes risk in different nights. Identifying biomarkers that are impacted by sleep fragmentation will establish the currently unclear pathways by which railway vibration exposure at night can lead to the development of diseases in the long term, especially metabolic disorders including diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a 6-week videoconference intervention to teach skills to improve sleep is practical, acceptable, and helpful to persons living with memory loss, cognitive impairment, and/or dementia and care partners, individually or together.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of herbal pillows on sleep and quality of life in a healthy population using actigraphy, validated questionnaires and daily diary logs. The goal of this study is to improve sleep and quality of life using herbal and Ayurveda/holistic-based botanical pillows.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial investigating the effects of daily administration of citrus extract on sleep and mental wellbeing.
Many children with ADHD suffer from sleep disorders and dysfunction, which may affect development and well-being. According to the clinicians, some children find relief from restlessness and difficulty sleeping by using weighted blankets which have been proposed to reduce restlessness and stress via sensory integration and to calm the child by stimulating the sense of touch, muscles and joints. However, evidence for an effect on sleep is scarce, and only one RCT has investigated the effect of weighted blankets among children with ADHD. Using a RCT design, the aim is to investigate the effect on sleep disorders and dysfunction in children with ADHD aged 5-12 years by (1) using a weighted blanket during night and daytime in addition to usual treatment, compared to (2) usual treatment and a non-weighted sham blanket, with the primary outcome being differences in total sleep time. Results will support health- and social professionals who are involved in the treatment of children with ADHD.
