Filter by:Aim 2 will investigate the effect of 3 different light exposure lengths on sleep, mood and agitation in persons with Alzheimer's disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions of light exposure: 1) 2-h morning light exposure; 2) 4-h morning light exposure; and 3) all day light exposure.
Functional dyspepsia(FD) is most common in functional gastrointestinal disorders whose rick factors include sleep disturbances. The medication treatment for functional dyspepsia with sleep disturbances has disadvantages such as addiction and withdrawal symptoms. Transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation(taVNS) is a new therapeutic method to improve dyspepsia and sleep. Study on taSNS for FD with sleep disturbances has not yet been explored.
A randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy of UP165 on sleep quality and mood state in healthy adults
This study seeks to improve clinical outcomes for an important, growing, and vulnerable population-nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias-by testing an evidence-based intervention to improve these residents' sleep. It will also examine the implementation and sustainment of this intervention.
The investigators designed an RCT aimed at 1) exploring the effectiveness of combining TC with rTMS for synergistically improving sleep disturbances in community-dwelling older adults, 2) investigating the mediating roles of arousal states as the underlying mechanism of the potential beneficial effects, and 3) evaluating the feasibility and safety to inform the clinical practice. The investigators hypothesized that integrating TC and rTMS can affect the different dimensions of the arousal system to improve sleep disturbances with optimized clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to develop and optimize a targeted behavioral intervention for sleep disturbance among individuals who have recently lost a spouse/long-term cohabitating partner. In the first phase of this study, patient focus groups were conducted to gather information about the unique sleep challenges experienced by spousally bereaved individuals and the kinds of support they would like to receive from a program based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). In the second phase of the study, a two-arm randomized controlled trial will be conducted to compare changes in sleep and inflammation among participants in the targeted CBT-I intervention to those in an information-only control. Participants will be asked to attend two in-person visits (at baseline and, approx. 8 weeks later, at post-treatment) to provide a blood sample and have vital signs and basic anthropometric measurements (height, weight, waist circumference) taken. After their baseline visit, participants will be randomized into either the targeted CBT-I intervention or the information-only control. The targeted CBT-I intervention will entail 6 online sessions (approx. 50 mins. each) delivered via videoconference by a trained facilitator, once per week over the course of approx. 6 weeks. The information-only control will entail 1 online session (approx. 50 mins.) delivered via videoconference by a trained facilitator. Sleep data (collected via both actigraphy watches and patient self-report sleep diaries) and data on mood, grief, and sleep habits will be collected from participants at three timepoints (baseline, post-treatment, and then again at a 6-month follow-up).
The purpose of this study is to investigate improvements in sleep by comparing two 6-week digital programs, either online or app-based, that deliver Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the "gold standard" treatment for insomnia, with or without a bedside device to help track sleep.
The goal of this observational study is to learn if acutely and/or chronically altered sleep induces inflammation and/or a pro-thrombotic state (a tendency to form clots) in hospital workers who either work in shifts or are exclusively daily workers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does chronically altered sleep induce a pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic state, which are steps towards cardiovascular disease, knowing that is associated with poor sleep? - Does acutely disrupted sleep, such as that observed in night shift workers, induce a pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic state in otherwise healthy subjects? Participants in the study are hospital workers who either work in shifts, including night shifts, or only during the day. Sleep quality is assessed by a validated questionnaire (the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). Markers of inflammation and of the pro-thrombotic state are measured at baseline and, if appropriate, after the night shift. These are markers of platelet activation, D-dimer, Interleukin-6 and endothelin 1, known to contribute and/or to suggest a condition of generalized inflammation and a tendency to form clots. Relevant information on health status is also collected for each participant.
50 participants with Parkinson's disease will be recruited to complete actigraphy studies to assess sleep disturbances. For this, participants will wear an Actigraph for seven days. Thirty of these participants with sleep disturbance will go on to receive a tailored lighting intervention (TLI) to assess the effect on sleep, fatigue, and circadian entrainment via urinary melatonin levels.
Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience more disturbed sleep compared to their healthy peers, especially because they tend to spend less time in deep sleep, the most restoring part of sleep, potentially impacting diabetes management. Disturbed sleep may adversely affect diabetes management which requires day-to-day decision-making, emotional and behavioural regulation, attention, and planning. Despite a massive increase in new technology, more than 50% of adolescents do not reach their glycaemic target. Lack of sleep impairing diabetes management including blood glucose monitoring may play an important role in reaching the goal. For approximately 4000 children and adolescents in Denmark living with T1D, sleep disturbances may therefore account for short and long-term diabetes complications. Our overall aims are to investigate: (1) If and how glycaemic variability (GV) influences sleep quality and sleep stages and (2) if and how poor sleep quality influences time-in-range (TIR), time-above-range (TAR) and time-below-range (TBR) the following day.
