Infant Sleep Problem clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

The Role of Circadian Rhythm in the Effect of Sleep Intervention on Obesity Prevention in Early Childhood

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Over the last 40 years, obesity has increased dramatically among all age groups, especially in infants and young children, and became an important global public health challenge, thus early prevention is the highest priority. Emerging studies have found that infant sleep intervention is very likely to become one of the most important strategies for early obesity prevention. However, its action path is not clear, making the target of sleep intervention relatively vague. The role of circadian rhythm in human health status has received increasing attention in recent years. Both animal experiment-based studies and adult clinic-based studies have found significant effect of the circadian rhythm on obesity and other metabolic disorders. Therefore, the present research will establish a community-based 1:1 parallel multi-center randomized controlled trial of sleep intervention cohort in communities with highly rapid weight gain at the early infancy stage. Investigators will collect daily rhythm data, including sleep-wake rhythm, rest-activity rhythm, light-dark cycle, and feeding-fasting, as well as the real-world golden standard of circadian rhythm assessed by seven times saliva melatonin, to test the impact of the sleep intervention program, to determine the causal mechanism of circadian rhythm in the occurrence and  development of obesity and metabolic disorder early in life. Our study will provide a new theoretical basis for the establishment of the stable circadian rhythm for the prevention of infant obesity, which has important public health significance.
