Filter by:Sleep is essential for children's daytime functioning and health. Poorer sleep hygiene can negatively affect sleep outcomes in children. Urban Latino children are at greater risk for poor sleep hygiene and poor quality sleep due to exposure to higher levels of urban and cultural stressors. This project aims to refine and test a novel school-based intervention to improve sleep hygiene and in turn, sleep quality in urban Latino middle school children. An existing sleep hygiene intervention that has been shown to improve sleep in urban children will be culturally and contextually tailored and has the potential to exert greater improvements in sleep hygiene and sleep outcomes for this high-risk group.

The importance of good sleep has been gaining interest in critically ill patients as poor sleep is associated with increased rates of delirium, non-invasive ventilation failure and stress to the patient. The use of earplugs and eye masks has been shown to result in longer sleep time and better sleep quality. The primary outcome of this randomized control trial is to evaluate if the use of eye masks and earplugs in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery will lead to improved sleep quality. Secondary outcomes include the level of noise intensity in the various monitored units, incidence of delirium, nursing demand, length of hospitalization and anaesthetic techniques. With these findings, we hope to be able to improve patients' overall satisfaction with the healthcare received.
The aim of this trial is to investigate the effects of a single bout of aerobic exercise on sleep in patients with depression.
Sleep is one of the basic and indispensable daily life activities that affect the quality of life and health of individuals and is a concept with physiological, psychological and social dimensions. In the literature, sleep difficulties and problems have begun to be investigated in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and have not been found in national publications. In these children, sleep quality, strengths and disorders and a study evaluating this variation on a scale have not been found. For this reason, our study will be done in order to determine the factors affecting sleep and sleep in children with cancer and to show the effect of exercise on these factors.
To investigate the efficiency and effect of a programmed slow-breathing exercise in the evening to the heart rate variability, sleep quality and memory performance over night.
This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of apnea detection and automated sleep analysis by the Dreem dry-EEG headband and deep learning algorithm in comparison to the consensus of 5 sleep technologists' manual scoring of a gold-standard clinical polysomnogram (PSG) record in adults during a physician-referred overnight sleep study due to suspicion of sleep-disordered breathing.
Musculoskeletal pain has become in a major problem related to its prevalence, treatment cost, absenteeism, quality of life impairment, disability and drugs consumption. The difficulty in musculoskeletal pain control ends in the abuse of drugs by these patients, including opioids. This drugs consumption has become a health problem in the United States and around the world related to their increasing abuse mainly between 2002 and 2011 and has had an impact in the numbers of deaths caused by opioids prescription (reaching 16,651 deaths in United States in 2010). Pain is clearly associated with sleep disturbances (50-80% of these patients suffer from a sleep problem), and in turn poor sleep quality leads to increased pain sensitivity. There is evidence showing that improving sleep disturbance co-occurring pain would improve, and some may reduce the use of opioids in specific patients on long-term opioid therapy. In spite of this reciprocal relationship between sleep and pain only few programs take into account the management of sleep disorders as a non-pharmacological measure for pain control. The hypothesis is: "to address sleep and circadian disorders (SCD) using a Sleep and Circadian Intervention Program (SCIP) in patients treated with rehabilitation by chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) optimizes the rehabilitation outcomes and reduces opioids consumption". Main goal: The aim of this PILOT study is to evaluate the feasibility of the protocol of the present study that aims to assess the improvement in rehabilitation outcomes and decrease in opioid consumption, through the management of sleep disorders. Methodology Using a randomised (1:1) controlled feasibility study, 50 men and women will be included to evaluate methodology and identify the potential outcome of the main project. Subjects older than 18 years included in a rehabilitation program by musculoskeletal lumbar pain lasting more than three months will be recruited. Basal Visit (BV): After the signature of informed consent, a medical history, physical exam, evaluation of the pain perception (EQ5D5L), quality of life evaluation (SF36 and FOSQ), mood and anxiety (HADS y PASS20), circadian rhythm study and drugs consumption will be evaluated in both groups. Patients will be randomized to control group (usual rehabilitation program) or intervention group (usual rehabilitation program + sleep circadian intervention program-SCIP). The patient in the SCIP program will received the next intervention: 1) Educational and circadian rhythm intervention: general sleep hygiene recommendation and promotion of daily physical activity. 2) Sleep studies for sleep quality and sleep disorders diagnosis: full polysomnography 3) Sleep questionnaires for another sleep disorders. Based on the results of the studies, patients will be treated according to current guidelines for the management of sleep disorders. 6 month after the SCIP starts patients will be evaluated in the End of Study Visit (EOS) as in the BV and also in their functional improvement and health resources consumption.
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.
The purpose of this study is to examine, in healthy controls, whether LED lighting that has a color spectrum similar to that of sunlight is able to differentially impact mood, circadian rhythms, sleep, and behavior, as compared to standard fluorescent lighting.
