The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of preoperative nasal spry with dexmedetomidine on postoperative sleep disturbance in young to middle-aged women undergoing hysteroscopy. The main questions it aims to answer are:1) what is the incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance in unisex patients who receive propofol anesthesia. 2) The preventive effect of preanesthesia nasal spray dexmedetomidine on postoperative sleep disturbance. Participants will receive total intravenous propofol anaesthesia after dexmedetomidine nasal spray. Sleep quality will be monitored by using a Wearable devices and the PSQI which was used to assess sleep quality 1,2 days before the surgery and 1,3,7 days after surgery. Researchers will compare the effects of 0.2 or 0.5 ug/kg dexmedetomidine to see if it help improve postanesthesia sleep quality.
Feasibility study investigating the effects of dry needling on individuals with chronic neck pain and sleep disturbance.
The preservation surgery of the anal sphincter has become a standard procedure for the treatment of rectal cancer and is now possible even when the tumor is close to the anus, thanks to the advancement of surgical techniques. This procedure allows patients to avoid a permanent artificial anus and enables them to evacuate through the anus, maintaining the continuity of the intestine, making it a highly preferred surgical option. Additionally, advancements in tumor treatments have led to improved long-term survival rates. However, this anal sphincter preservation surgery inevitably can cause functional abnormalities in the rectum, and around 90% of patients experience changes in bowel habits after surgery. The characteristic symptoms occurring after rectal cancer surgery, such as diarrhea, urgency of bowel movements, frequent bowel movements, and fecal incontinence, are referred to as Anterior Resection Syndrome (ARS). Particularly, symptoms following low anterior resection surgery for lower rectal cancer are termed Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS). These symptoms are most severe immediately after surgery, persisting up to 1-2 years, with some improvement over time. However, in many patients, LARS can remain a lifelong challenge, significantly impacting their quality of life. Currently, there is no definitive method to treat LARS, and symptom management is achieved through empirical treatment methods or medications. Many patients with LARS experience these symptoms predominantly at night, and it is presumed that their sleep quality is severely compromised, significantly affecting their overall quality of life. However, there is a lack of research on the prevalence of such patients and the appropriate treatments for them.
This study will investigate the biological mechanisms linking sleep disruption by vibration and noise, and the development of cardiometabolic disease. In a laboratory sleep study, the investigators will play railway vibration of different levels during the night. The investigators will also measure objective sleep quality and quantity, cognitive performance across multiple domains, self-reported sleep and wellbeing outcomes, and blood samples. Blood samples will be analyzed to identify metabolic changes and indicators of diabetes risk in different nights. Identifying biomarkers that are impacted by sleep fragmentation will establish the currently unclear pathways by which railway vibration exposure at night can lead to the development of diseases in the long term, especially metabolic disorders including diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a 6-week videoconference intervention to teach skills to improve sleep is practical, acceptable, and helpful to persons living with memory loss, cognitive impairment, and/or dementia and care partners, individually or together.
The purpose of this study is to pilot a randomized clinical trial designed to improve the sleep environments, sleep hygiene practices, and the duration and quality of sleep of children and parents in low-income families. It is hypothesized that child and parent sleep (assessed through subjective reports of sleep, sleep environments, sleep hygiene practices, and objective sleep data via sleep actigraphy collected with Fitbit watches) in the intervention group will improve between Week 2 (intervention session) and Week 4 (post-intervention session) as compared to child and parent sleep in the waitlist-control group.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of herbal pillows on sleep and quality of life in a healthy population using actigraphy, validated questionnaires and daily diary logs. The goal of this study is to improve sleep and quality of life using herbal and Ayurveda/holistic-based botanical pillows.
Investigators developed a brief, scalable, behavioral Sleep Promotion Program (SPP) for adolescents with short sleep duration and sleep-wake irregularity, which relies on two individual sessions and smart phone technology to deliver evidence-based strategies. This R34 will test the feasibility and initial effectiveness of the SPP program and provider training via pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT, n=50) comparing SPP to Sleep Psychoeducation, a brief session on healthy sleep habits. Participants will be adolescents (12-18 years) with short sleep duration, sleep-wake irregularity, and depression.
Investigators developed a brief, scalable, behavioral Sleep Promotion Program (SPP) for adolescents with short sleep duration and sleep-wake irregularity, which relies on one individual session and smart phone technology to deliver evidence-based strategies. This open trial portion of the R34 will focus on conducting an open trial (n=8) to iteratively refine provider training, implementation procedures, and SPP program, per participant and staff feedback.
