NCT ID: NCT05463861 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

Lemborexant in Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

Start date: February 1, 2022
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether Lemborexant is more effective than placebo in shortening sleep onset latency in patients with delayed sleep phase syndrome (both type 1 and type 2). This will be tracked using sleep logs as well as actigraphy. In this 2-year study, we will examine if Lemborexant administered 5-10 mg nightly taken at desired bedtime (at least 2 hours prior to self-reported sleep onset habitual time) can improve the symptoms of Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome.

Experimental Manipulation of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms and the Role Played on Reward Function in Teens

CARRS-P2
Start date: May 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Adolescence is a time of heightened reward sensitivity and greater impulsivity. On top of this, many teenagers experience chronic sleep deprivation and misalignment of their circadian rhythms due to biological shifts in their sleep/wake patterns paired with early school start times. Many studies find that this increases the risk for substance use (SU). However, what impact circadian rhythm and sleep disruption either together or independently have on the neuronal circuitry that controls reward and cognition, or if there are interventions that might help to modify these disruptions is unknown. Project 2 (P2) of the CARRS center will test an innovative and mechanistic model of brain circuitry that uses multi-method approaches, takes a developmental perspective, and incorporates key sleep and reward constructs.

NCT ID: NCT04690504 Recruiting - Sleep Disorder Clinical Trials

Validation of Circadian Biomarkers in Patients With Sleep Disorders

Start date: November 2, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Current methods for assessing circadian timing require sampling over hours (or even up to a day) while the patient is in controlled conditions. The investigators aim to develop a method that can estimate individual circadian time with a single blood sample taken at any time of the day or night. To do this, the investigators will use two state of the art methods, a plasma proteomics-based method to identify a panel of rhythmic proteins (extending our preliminary data) and a whole blood-derived monocyte-based method using a panel of 15 transcripts (to validate and extend a recent study). We will test both methods in a series of patients with circadian rhythm sleep disorders. We will validate separately the proteomics-based biomarker and the monocyte-based transcript biomarker, and also explore whether combining them can improve the accuracy of our timing estimates. In all cases, circadian phase estimates from the biomarker panels will be compared with those derived from plasma or saliva melatonin (the current "gold-standard" circadian phase marker).

NCT ID: NCT03980340 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Sleep Disorders, Circadian Rhythm

Breath Biomarkers for Sleep Loss and Circadian Timing

Start date: January 28, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Insufficient sleep has both health and safety risks, but currently there are no quick, accurate and inexpensive ways to measure sleep deficiency. The current study aims to use a cutting-edge technology, small molecule analysis (e.g. metabolomics), to detect compounds in breath that reliably change with sleep-wake state and those whose levels vary by time of day.

NCT ID: NCT03956745 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Sleep Disorders, Circadian Rhythm

Biomarkers for Circadian Timing in Healthy Adults

Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Study investigators want to learn more about the underlying biological clock and to see if the timing of that clock can be estimated from a single blood sample.

NCT ID: NCT03715465 Completed - Clinical trials for Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

The Clinical Utility of Measuring the Circadian Clock in Treatment of Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder

Start date: February 15, 2019
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study will test whether measuring the circadian clock during treatment of delayed sleep-wake phase disorder results in greater improvements in sleep compared to estimating the circadian clock.

NCT ID: NCT02962037 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

Are Patients Suffering From DSPS Show Compromising in Everyday Functions and Abilities Before Handling the Disorder?

Start date: November 2016
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the known treatment for DSPS also improve the cognitive ability and mood of the patients.

NCT ID: NCT01419938 Completed - Clinical trials for Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

Does Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Improve the Effect of Light Therapy

Start date: August 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) is the most common of the circadian rhythm sleep disorders (CRSD). A person with DSPS have sufficient sleep quality, but their circadian clock is delayed compared to the normal 24-h period. They fall asleep around 03.00-04.00 at night and sleeps until 02.00-03.00 in the afternoon. This syndrome is most frequent among young people between 16-25 years, which conveys that school attendance and education are affected, and also often results in severe social consequences. DSPS is sometimes associated with depression and personality disorders and may aggravate psychiatric symptoms. This syndrome is highly underdiagnosed and there are no detailed guidelines how to treat it. The treatment usually consists of light therapy, chronotherapy or melatonin. There is a lack of guidelines how often, with which wavelength, and how long the treatment of DSPS patients shall go on. Previous studies shows that light therapy often is effective. The effect gets even better if melatonin is administered concurrently. However, the frequency of relapse is high. Thus, DSPS is a prevalent syndrome in young adults with severe consequences on normal daytime functioning. There are almost no treatment options available in health care settings. There is a clear need for further studies on this topic. The main purpose of the present study is to evaluate the clinical effects of short and long-term treatment by using light therapy and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). CBT is recommended at mild to moderate depression and anxiety. It also has some evidence in treating insomnia. Patients with DSPS often have al of these symptoms and therefore the investigators would like to investigate if CBT can enhance the effect of light therapy. Firstly, the investigators want to evaluate the short-term effects of light therapy with and without CBT. Secondly, the investigators want to evaluate if the patients who get CBT maintain a "normal" sleep rhythm and prevent relapse of DSPS compared to just light therapy for two weeks. The investigators also want to evaluate how this patient-group differs when it comes to behavioral factors compared to a matched reference group.

NCT ID: NCT00834886 Completed - Clinical trials for Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

Randomized Controlled Trial on the Treatment Effects of Melatonin and Light Therapy on Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

Start date: October 2008
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

In this study the investigators will examine the effects of melatonin and light therapy on delayed sleep phase syndrome in adolescents 16 up to 20 years old. 60 subjects will be randomized into four different groups; melatonin + light therapy (N=15), melatonin + placebo light (N=15), placebo + light therapy (N=15) and placebo + placebo light. This is a double-blinded treatment and the participants will receive this treatment for 2 weeks. Then they will be re-randomized into two groups; full treatment with light therapy + melatonin (N=30) and no treatment (N=30) for 3 months unblinded. The investigators will test the subjects pre-treatment, post 2 week treatment and after 3 months.

NCT ID: NCT00282061 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

Synchronization and Desynchronization Between Circadian Rhythms in Patients With Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS)

Start date: n/a
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This study's first aim is to widen the knowledge of the characteristics of delayed sleep phase disorder (DSPS) by focusing on the circadian rhythms of appetite regulation factors and their phase relations to the cycles of sleep-wake, melatonin, cortisol and body temperature. This study's second aim is to assess the influence of forced morning awakening, as a daily struggle faced by DSPS patients, upon the synchronization of these variables in DSPS patients. The investigators hypothesize that the chronic incompatibility between the endogenous sleep-wake rhythm of the DSPS patients and the morning wakefulness, as a social demand, may impair the synchronization between the different rhythms, as findings indicate in normal subjects under jet lag. And finally, the third aim of the study is to assess the influence of successful treatment with melatonin upon the phase locations of circadian rhythms of studied measures and the synchronization between them. These measures will be assessed in a controlled study, for 36 hours (sampled every 2 hours) under three distinct experimental conditions: first, under free sleep-wake conditions (ad-libitum bedtime and arousal); second, under restricted sleep-wake conditions (enforced morning wake-up); and finally, after 12 weeks of melatonin treatment.
