Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate improvements in sleep by comparing two 6-week digital programs, either online or app-based, that deliver Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the "gold standard" treatment for insomnia, with or without a bedside device to help track sleep.
In the WEsleep study, the investigators will perform a cluster randomized controlled trial. 3 surgical and 3 medical departments will be randomized to implement low-cost and simple interventions aimed at improving sleep in admitted patients. Another 3 surgical and 3 medical departments will be randomized to function as control groups. Subjective sleep quality and sleep-wake timing will be assessed in adult medical and surgical patients admitted into one of 12 participating wards, using questionnaires and a sleep diary. In addition, in a subset of participants, objective sleep measures will be assessed in with an EEG headband and a sleep mat.
Urban children with asthma are at high risk for short sleep, due to an environment that jeopardizes both sleep and asthma management. Further, urban children with asthma suffer from altered immune balance, a key biological process contributing to individual differences in asthma morbidity and sleep health. In the proposed research, the researchers will examine the effects of shortened and recovery sleep on immune balance and associated changes in lung function in urban children with allergic asthma through an experimental design.
Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) have recently been incorporated in the French medical studies. They will soon be an important part of the national evaluation of the students, therefore being responsible for a high level of stress. The differents strategies of coping have never been characterized for this particular group of students. We hypothetize that different strategies of coping are associated with different level of stress, thus being an interesting insight to help students to deal with their stress and prevent disorders linked to stress. We will be using the Brief Cope Scale to assess the different ways of coping, in addition to multiple demographic and health-related questionnaires.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of a novel dietary supplement, consisting of melatonin and magnesium in a pod (coffee machine capsule) format, on sleep quality, stress, mood, sleepiness, biological rhythms, metabolism, body composition and performance, in individuals with sleep disturbances according with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. A randomized, double-blind, crossover trial will be conducted to compare the effects of the melatonin and magnesium-containing supplement against a placebo. The protocol comprises 4 weeks of supplementation with an experimental or placebo condition, with a week-long washout period. Biochemical markers of sleep and stress, actigraphy for sleep patterns and sleep hygiene, resting metabolic rate, food and fluid intake, body composition, and handgrip strength measures will be evaluated at baseline and 4 weeks post each randomly assigned intervention. The working hypothesis is that this innovative supplement will provide greater objective and subjective improvements regarding sleep patterns and quality, overall mood, biochemical markers of stress, resting metabolic rate, energy intake, body composition and strength, than the placebo comparator, due to the synergic effects of melatonin and magnesium.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to establish the effectiveness of a culturally targeted and individually tailored behavioral intervention to promote maternal glucose metabolism in African American women.
We aim to clarify the relationship between sleep hygiene and the onset of sarcopenia or cognitive dysfunction using sleep time, arousal, and sleep quality as indicators in COPD or IPF patients, and clarify the effects of sleep hygiene on disease progression and life prognosis.
Pain of the sacrococcygeal region is called coccygodynia This painful clinical picture, which causes a decrease in the quality of life, also causes disability. Coccycodynia has been associated with hysteria, neurosis, and depression. In some studies, it has been reported that it should be evaluated in somatization in coccygodynia. There are a few studies examining the relationship between coccygodynia and psychiatric disorders.There is no study in the literature examining coccygodynia and sleep. There may be a relationship between pelvic floor muscle spasm in the etiology of coccygodynia and sleep quality. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between disability severity and anxiety, depression and sleep quality in patients with coccygodynia.
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) characterizes a range of negative health and performance outcomes that result from chronically low energy availability. RED-S concerns high performance junior and senior athletes across Canada and has a prevalence rate of 3-60%. Our ability to assess and diagnose RED-S remains poor. Accordingly, we aim to create the best parameters to diagnose and manage RED-S; along with information of the prevalence and severity across Canada and globally. These outcomes are expected to have a significant positive impact on the health and performance of Canadian athletes in preparation for the Olympic Games in 2022 and beyond.
