Filter by:This proof-of-concept study is being performed to evaluate whether the hypoglossal nerve can be stimulated using a small series of electrodes placed surgically via a percutaneous approach. Minimally invasive off the shelf medical devices will be used and observation of the characteristic physiological responses to stimulation of the HGN, will be assessed.
Insomnia or sleep disturbance is a common disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but is often unrecognized and undertreated. It is known that sleep disorders may indirectly cause a variety of diseases and affect quality of life. The most common sleep disorders that occur in CKD are insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, obstructive or central sleep apnea (SA), and sleep disorders. This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Sideral® Sucrosomial Iron and iron chewable tablets 100mg commonly used in health insurance on sleep disorders in patients with CKD and iron deficiency anemia.
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Adaptogen Elixir herbal drink in relieving emotions and improving sleep quality. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the placebo group or the Adaptogen Elixir herbal drink group, with 25 participants in each group. On the day of the experiment (week 0), participants are required to collect blood and saliva samples, fill out questionnaires assessing sleep disorders and stress condition, and use a sleep monitoring system to track their sleep and autonomic nervous system conditions. Subsequently, participants will be given the experimental samples and instructed to consume them continuously for 4 weeks following the instruction. Follow-up assessments will be conducted in the 2nd and 4th weeks, participants are required to collect blood and saliva samples, fill out questionnaires assessing sleep disorders and stress condition, and use a sleep monitoring system to track their sleep and autonomic nervous system conditions.
The goal of this living-lab clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of digital health monitoring and feedback platform for community dwelling older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Identify digital sensing variables that are predictive of mental and physical health declines and health emergencies of older adults - Develop digital health monitoring service to inform individualized daily health status of older adults users - Develop ICT network to share the daily health status and emergency signals with community based healthcare service providers and family caregivers if an older adult user approves of them to receive their health information. Participants will be asked to participate in a living lab using a wearable sensor, motion sensor, and smartphone applications for 6 weeks and also take part in pre-mid-post surveys to evaluate the usability, accuracy, and effectiveness of the digital healthcare service platform to improve health managements and connections with community and family caregivers. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare age and gender matched control group to see if health status of the living-lab group is better than the control group.
Postoperative sleep disorders have serious problems with cognition, pain perception, sustained circadian rhythm, psychomotor function, metabolic function, catabolic responses, and continuity. The relationship between general anesthesia and sleep disturbances following surgery is still unclear. Since the risk of sleep disorders after surgery is high, it is important to determine the efficiency of the interval with automatic sleep disorders. By evaluating how major orthopedic surgery and general anesthesia applied to posterior spinal instrumentation divides sleep quality, risk management allows determining the factors involved in the peroperative period and thus facilitating surgical results and patient comfort.
Sleep disorder in autism children is common and it affects the physical, behavior and mental health. There is lack of comprehensive management program/module to treat the sleep disorders in children with ASD. Limited studies evaluating the utility of actigraphy to diagnose sleep disorders in ASD and its validation with PSG are present. Rationale of this study is to develop the comprehensive module and validate it for children with autism spectrum disorders, so as to improve the behavioral outcomes as well. This study also helps to utilize actigraphy as a modality to diagnose sleep disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder as performing PSG in these children is cumbersome and difficult as ASD children tend to have sensory abnormalities.
This study will be conducted to compare between effects of mindfulness breathing and storytelling on insomnia in the elderly.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of adolescent sleep disorders and the effect of sleeping pills withdrawal.
The goal of this project is to facilitate the design of individualized postpartum anxiety (PPA) screening strategies in British Columbia (BC), Canada. A cohort of postpartum people (n=550) will be invited to complete the following seven questionnaires at 4-8 weeks after delivery: 1. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory 2. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale 3. Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support 4. PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Emotional Distress-Anger, Short Form 5-a 5. Short Form Brief Pain Inventory 6. WHOQOL-BREF for assessing quality of life 7. PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Short Form 8-b and PROMIS Sleep-Related Impairment Short Form 8-a The investigators will evaluate the feasibility of screening for postpartum anxiety and comorbid conditions through a web-based platform in a diverse BC population. They will assess the usability of the platform and questionnaires through 12-15 follow-up interviews with study participants and responses to the System Usability Scale. Their analysis will also identify patient characteristics and comorbidities (e.g., anger, pain, sleep disturbance) associated with a positive screen for postpartum anxiety.
The proposed study will include a longitudinal ecological study (Study 1) and a randomised controlled trial (Study 2). The aims will be to (1) identify the sleep-wake profiles in individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) through clustering; (2) examine the associations between sleep-wake features/profiles and the prognosis of MDD; and (3) investigate the anti-depressant effects of sleep- and circadian-targeted intervention in those with MDD and whether sleep-wake features/profiles may moderate the treatment outcomes. In Study 1, a total of 140 participants comprising 70 participants with MDD and 70 age- and gender-matched healthy controls will be recruited. Sleep-wake patterns will be collected for 4 consecutive weeks using actigraphy devices and one-off self-report measures will be collected via an in-house smartphone application, PsyHub. Study 1 and 2 will follow the CONSORT and STROBE guidelines, respectively. The current registration is only for Study 1 of the current research project.
