Filter by:The present study will test the effectiveness of a behavioral intervention program that targets sleep problems in 1.5-5-year-old children with ASD. Sleep patterns will be measured using questionnaires and sleep diaries that will be completed by the parents as well as by Fitbit sensors that will be placed on the child's wrist or back of the arm. The study will also explore whether specific child (e.g., severity of cognitive abilities) or parent characteristics (e.g., parent stress levels) impact the effectiveness of the intervention. In addition, we will examine whether changes in sleep disturbances are associated with changes in the family's quality of life.
This study evaluates the impact of conjugated estrogens/ bazedoxifene (CE/ BZA) on the mood (depression and anxiety) in peri- and early menopausal women.
The aim of this study is to investigate the levels of insomnia 3 months after (T2) the strict physical distancing government initiated physical distancing protocols related to the COVID-19 pandemic (T1). The study also aims to investigate how predictors measured after and before the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with sleep problems at T2.
The goal of the study is to test the role of telemedicine combined with humidification to check CPAP treatment during the first month to improve adherence and reduce unsolved side effects of therapy.
Randomised control trial of 150 paediatric patients aged between 3-8years. One group will receive a preoperative carbohydrate oral drink and the other group will receive current standard care (no drink) prior to undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. Outcomes to be reported will be: 1) patient and parent satisfaction; 2) post operative pain score at: recover, 1 hour post op, prior to discharge home and then day 1 postoperatively; 3) PONV rates in recovery, prior to discharge home and again on Day 1 postoperatively; 4) sleep quality night after surgery.
This study evaluates beneficial effects of biofeedback therapy in reducing pain and increased tension of muscles occurring in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). During the study Electromyography Biofeedback (EMG-Biofeedback)- assisted training lowering muscle tension will be used. The patients will undergo 4 or 8 meetings of EMG-Biofeedback - assisted training Than the patients will be reevaluated after 6 and 12 weeks.
People staring at computer screens for long hours, blinking less frequently, or having long-term contact lens wear are prone to dry eye disease (DED). DED is a multifactorial disease accompanied by inflammation of the ocular surface. Further, DED may degrade vision and is associated with depression and have an adverse impact on patient's quality of life. Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) incorporates standardized collection of breathing techniques followed by Automatic Self Transcending Meditation (ASTM) may help reduce stress, depression, and anxiety, enhance quality of life in patients diagnosed with DED. Thus, the investigators will be studying the effect of SKY plus ASTM on quality of life of DED patients. The investigators plan to conduct a single-center pilot RCT. Patients with DED will be randomized to SKY followed by ASTM plus Usual care (UC) or UC alone to assess changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). HRQOL is a vital construct focusing on impact of health on quality of life. Along with HRQOL the investigators will measure changes in extent of depression and anxiety. Additionally, majority of current ophthalmic literature describes changes in clinical variables whilst lacking information on HRQOL. Thus, there is a high necessity to assess if there is an association between HRQOL and routinely measured clinical data. Through this study the investigators shall attempt to correlate HRQOL with clinical data.
a case study of a man with a unique condition that negatively affects his sleep architecture. we want to study this man's sleep and see (through interviews) how his condition affects his ability to dream
Summary of the project : Lack or disturbances of sleep are major problems in patients staying in intensive care unit (ICU) due to the particular environment. The noises, lack of circadian rhythm of light lead to progressive deafferentation. The patients are then at risk of immune deficiencies, agitation and confusion states, cognitive troubles that may be associated to increased morbidity and mortality in the short and long term. Thus, improvement of the sleep of the ICU patients may impact non only during the ICU stay but also on their future quality of life. The sleep bundle project is a quality improvement project with a before-after design, consisting in the evaluation of a bundle of measures that may increase the quality and duration of sleep in ICU patients. The bundle consists in the proposition of eye-mask, ear-plugs, music and/or massage to the patients in parallele to structural and organizational modifications of the service such as the decrease of the alarms sounds, changing the luminosity between day and night, etc. The principal indicators followed will be: - The sleep quality of the patients - The continuous noise intensity in the rooms - The continuous light intensity in the rooms Baseline - before period: 8 weeks Implementation of the bundle with training of the team: 4 weeks After period: 8 weeks.
A cataract is a clouding of the crystalline lens inside the eye, which leads to a decrease in vision. It is the most prevalent, treatable cause of visual impairment and blindness in the world. Cataract surgery with an intraocular lens (IOL) implant is one of the most common and thought to be the most effective surgical procedure in any field of medicine. In this trial, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of cataract surgery on circadian rhythm and sleep as well as the effect of the blue light transmission characteristics of the implanted IOL on sleep.
