NCT ID: NCT05170139 Completed - Caffeine Clinical Trials

The Effects of Caffeine on Physical Performance of Ice Hockey Players

cafhoc
Start date: March 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To date, only one study has evaluated the effect of caffeine supplementation on athletic performance in ice hockey players finding a lack of ergogenic effect. This lack of effect is surprising as caffeine has been suggested to be an effective and safe nutritional supplement to improve physical performance in both trained and untrained individuals. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of acute caffeine ingestion (3mg/kg body mass). Thirteen elite adult ice-hockey male players will perform specific ice hockey performance tests in two separate days. On both occasions players will ingest 330 ml of water with lemon powertabs isostar® (86 kcal / 19g of carbohydrates) tablets, which will include in one of these days 3 mg/kg body mass of anhydrous caffeine. Players will perform a 35-m sprint, an agility test (Weave agility - slalom with puck), and a reaction test.

Delayed-release Bedtime Caffeine and Sleep Inertia Symptoms Immediately Upon Awakening

Start date: February 8, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Sleep inertia (sometimes also referred to as sleep drunkenness) is a disabling state of increased sleepiness, impaired mood and reduced vigilance immediately upon awakening. Sleep inertia is highly prevalent in various neurological diseases, including neurodegenerative, affective and circadian sleep-wake rhythms disorders, as well as in frequent societal conditions such as chronic sleep restriction, jetlag and shiftwork. Reactive countermeasures against sleep inertia, i.e., strategies implemented upon wake-up, are not sufficiently effective, yet current recommendations are limited to proactive strategies, including long enough sleep at optimal times of day. These recommendations are not always easy and sometimes impossible to apply. To address this unmet medical need, the investigators developed an innovative, time-controlled, pulsatile-release formulation of 160 mg caffeine targeting an efficacious dose briefly before planned awakening.

NCT ID: NCT04869176 Completed - Clinical trials for Heart Rate Variability

Effect of Caffeine on Heart Rate Variability in Newborns

Start date: November 17, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of caffeine treatment, given either orally or intravenously, on heart rate variability in newborns. In addition, the investigators sought for a potential association between caffeine treatment and vital functions.

NCT ID: NCT04868565 Completed - Caffeine Clinical Trials

Target Weaning Oxygen to Determine Cafffeine Duration for AOP

DCAP
Start date: May 1, 2021
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Caffeine, a typical representative of methylxanthine, is world-widely used to manage apnea of prematurity (AOP) in neonatology. However, an appropriate medication regimen of caffeine has not been well defined until now. For example, in terms of the duration of caffeine, AAP guideline for AOP (2016) and British NICE guideline for neonatal respiratory care (2019) all recommended discontinuing caffeine when the infants reached a postmenstrual age (PMA) ≥33weeks and had a stable respiratory status, commonly manifested by weaning from non-invasive ventilation and free of apneic episodes for at least five consecutive days. Interestingly, the actual clinical settings seem to be not strictly following this recommendation. A survey of the neonatologist in North America revealed that a substantial variability existed among sites in the timing of caffeine discontinuation before discharge and the respiratory support at the time of caffeine discontinuation [1]. Another survey in Saudi Arabia also had a similar finding [2]. The optimal timing of discontinuing caffeine is still a conundrum in the field of neonatology. Ideally, the optimal timing of discontinuing caffeine should be individual-specific. Published work has indicated that AOP and intermittent hypoxemia (IH) were frequently observed beyond 36 weeks' PMA in all gestational age groups, particularly in the 24- to 27-week infants [3, 4]. In the clinical settings, intermittent hypoxic and AOP episodes is a predominant cause of oxygen supplement in premature infants and commonly prolong the hospital stay. Optimizing arterial saturation by oxygen supplement is essential to achieve a stable cardiorespiratory status because hypoxemia could induce hypoxic sensitivity of the carotid bodies in neonates, resulting in more pronounced ventilatory depression and more frequent apneic episodes. Some RCTs have shown that continuing caffeine administration beyond PMA 34 weeks could reduce the frequency of IH episodes in premature infants [4, 5]. Therefore, theoretically, a prolonged caffeine administration over the usual duration could shorten the duration of oxygen supplements in those infants at high risk of frequent late AOP or IH. Target weaning oxygen could be an opportunistic indicator of discontinuing caffeine. In light of the above considerations, a multicenter, retrospective, partially blinded, controlled trials will be conducted to verify the hypothesis that a novel caffeine regimen that weaning oxygen as the indicator of discontinuing caffeine could improve respiratory outcomes of very premature infants.

NCT ID: NCT04852315 Completed - Caffeine Clinical Trials

Acute Caffeine Ingestion on Futsal Performance

CAFFFUTSAL
Start date: October 16, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Caffeine supplementation has been recognized such as an useful strategy for improving performance in intermittent sports, however caffeine ingestion in futsal has been barely studied. In this randomized placebo-controlled study, we investigated the effects of acute caffeine supplementation in improving neuromuscular performance and physical match activity in futsal players.

NCT ID: NCT04730193 Completed - Caffeine Clinical Trials

Caffeine and Cerebrovascular Reactivity

Start date: February 1, 2021
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Caffeine is the most commonly used stimulant drug with well documented effects on cerebral vascula-ture. Caffeine is known to non-specifically bind to adenosine receptors in the brain and to reduce resting blood flow while improving attention and cognitive function, which suggests that it may allow a more efficient dynamic blood flow regulation through neurovascular coupling. This study will use standardized dose of caffeine to test its effect on NVC responses in cerebral and retinal arterioles.

NCT ID: NCT04712578 Completed - Resistance Training Clinical Trials

Influence of Caffeinated and Non-caffeinated Pre-workout Supplements on Resistance Exercise Performance

Start date: February 23, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial examining the effects of caffeinated and non-caffeinated pre-workout supplements on resistance exercise performance. Resistance-trained adults will be randomly assigned to complete three study conditions (caffeinated pre-workout, non-caffeinated pre-workout, and placebo) in one of the six possible condition orders. During each condition, participants will report to the laboratory for ingestion of the assigned beverage and subsequent muscular performance testing. Major performance outcomes will be force production variables from a mechanized squat device and maximal strength and muscular endurance on the bench press and leg press exercises.

NCT ID: NCT04585854 Completed - Caffeine Clinical Trials

Effect of Caffeine on Myocardial Oxygenation

Coffee-O2
Start date: November 13, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of caffeine on myocardial oxygenation and other cardiovascular magnetic resonance parameters in healthy controls.

NCT ID: NCT04560595 Completed - Anxiety Clinical Trials

Remote Guided Caffeine Reduction

Start date: September 10, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this online research study is to determine whether or not a gradual caffeine reduction program developed at Johns Hopkins can help people reduce their caffeine use. The investigators will provide materials to help guide caffeine reduction and ask questions to track caffeine use over several weeks. The investigators will also assess how reducing caffeine may benefit common caffeine-related problems such as anxiety, sleep disturbances, and gastrointestinal distress. The study will also determine whether or not people like participating in this caffeine reduction program in an online format.

Start date: March 8, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional
