Filter by:Pediatric patients undergoing stem cell transplant (SCT) are hospitalized for extended periods and are at high risk for sleep disturbances. In order to begin to address the environmental issues that SCT recipients face during inpatient hospitalizations, investigators will conduct a single arm pilot study of a program entitled 'Developing Restful Environments and Management Strategies' (DREAMS). The program will provide children receiving SCT and families with information and a kit that includes tools which may support sleep and circadian health during an inpatient hospitalization.
Functional dyspepsia refers to a chronic digestive system disease with upper abdominal symptoms originating from the gastroduodenal region, and after clinical examination, including upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, the organic diseases causing the above symptoms are excluded. According to Rome IV standard, functional dyspepsia can be divided into two categories: postprandial discomfort syndrome and epigastric pain syndrome. FD not only seriously affects the quality of life of patients, but also causes a heavy social and economic burden. Therefore, active prevention and treatment of FD, especially PDS, has become an unavoidable problem in clinic. Epidemiological investigation shows that about 30% FD patients have many negative emotions such as sleep disorder, anxiety and depression, and many anti-negative emotional drugs themselves can cause gastrointestinal side effects, which are considered to be the key reasons for the recurrence of symptoms. In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to the brain-gut axis. Microbial-intestinal-brain axis can also affect brain function by releasing neurotransmitters and inflammatory mediators. In addition, the interaction between bile acids and intestinal microflora may also affect the normal function of the intestine. However, the relationship between specific bile acids, microflora and functional dyspepsia is still uncertain. At present, the effective and safe treatment methods for FD with sleep disorder are still very limited. In recent years, auricular point pressing bean therapy has obvious advantages in treating FD with sleep disorder. This study plans to study the clinical efficacy and mechanism of auricular point stimulation on functional dyspepsia with sleep disorder. Provide more treatment methods and ideas for clinicians, popularize and apply green diagnosis and treatment methods, bring good news to more patients, and produce remarkable economic and social benefits.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of intraoperative esketamine infusion on postoperative sleep disturbance(PSD) of patients undergoing spinal surgery. The main aims to answer are: - To explore the effect of intraoperative infusion of esketamine on the incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance and sleep quality in patients undergoing spinal surgery. - To explore the effect of intraoperative infusion of esketamine on postoperative pain, anxiety and depression ; Participants will be patients undergoing spinal surgery with general anesthesia at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. 0.3mg/kg/h esketamine or saline will be infused during surgery . The incidence of sleep disturbance , sleep quality, pain scores, hospital anxiety and depression scores and perioperative adverse events after surgery will be investigated.
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are an inflammatory disease that can affect the entire digestive tract from the mouth to the anus for CD and the entire colon and rectum for UC. They mainly affect adolescents and young adults. These pathologies evolve in relapses interspersed with phases of remission. Sometimes associated with extraintestinal manifestations (joint, dermatological, ophthalmological or biliary systems), chronic inflammation of the digestive tract and the resulting symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal syndrome, etc.) lead to a significant alteration in the quality of life of patients in all spheres of activity (professional, sexual, social). Sleep is a basic neurophysiological state, the normal total duration of which in humans is between six and ten hours per day. It is an essential element of the circadian rhythm in humans, influencing certain cellular functions and in particular the synthesis of cytokines and pro-inflammatory molecules (Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young in 2017). Sleep disturbances and disruption of the circadian rhythm lead to metabolic and immunological dysfunctions, which may be involved in chronic inflammatory conditions through changes in the immune response. In the field of IBD, many studies suggest poor sleep quality in patients with IBD. While there seems to be a link between sleep disorders and impaired quality of life with a socio-professional impact in these patients, the links between IBD activity, its treatment and sleep disorders are poorly studied, with discordant results in previous studies. In order to enrich our knowledge on this topic, the investigators wish to study the prevalence and risk factors associated with sleep disorders in IBD patients in order to improve patients' quality of life
The primary aim is to investigate the frequency and severity of neuropathic pain and its association with night pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis. For this purpose a progressive longitudinal study design was planned. The secondary aim is to investigate the relationship between night pain and neuropathic pain and sleep quality.
Postoperative sleep disorder is one of the common complications after general anesthesia. Compared to patients of various ages, elderly patients have a much higher incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance. Postoperative sleep disorders can have many adverse effects, including cognitive impairment, altered pain perception, and emotional disorders, which are not conducive to the long-term prognosis of elderly patients. Enhancing postoperative sleep quality in older patients has become a significant public health concern in the current day due to its direct relationship to both maximizing surgical outcomes and enhancing physical health. This study intends to conduct a prospective, randomized controlled, triple-blind clinical trial on use of transauricular vagal nerve stimulation to improve sleep disorders in elderly patients after general anesthesia surgery, aiming to investigate the efficacy of transauricular vagal nerve stimulation in postoperative sleep disorders in elderly patients.
This is a novel and the first study to investigate the impacts of the integrated treatment of Tai Chi (TC) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on sleep disturbances and the potential mechanisms of arousal system. To validate the combination of TC and rTMS as a promising approach for managing sleep disturbance in older adults, the investigators will conduct a four-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial comprising a 4-week treatment phase and a 3-month follow up period. A total of 152 eligible participants will be recruited and randomly assign to the TC plus active rTMS (38 participants), TC plus sham rTMS (38 participants), TC-alone (38 participants), and low-intensity PE (38 participants) control group within two weeks after the baseline assessment. TC plus active rTMS, TC plus sham rTMS, and TC-alone will be compared with a low-intensity PE control group on insomnia severity, various sleep parameters assessed by self-report sleep diary and ActiGraph, emotional states, and physical and mental health related quality of life. The investigators have formulated two hypotheses in this study. First, the three intervention groups, relative to participants undergoing PE, will confer greater improvement in all measured outcomes at post-intervention (T1) and three-month follow-up (T2); and second, in the double-blinded groups, the TC plus active rTMS will show greater improvement in all measured outcomes than TC plus sham rTMS at T1 and T2.
Previous studies have indicated a high incidence of sleep disturbances and anxiety symptoms in individuals with colorectal cancers prior to undergoing surgery, leading to worsened postoperative pain, slower recovery, and higher risk of chronic pain. The enhancement of sleep quality is intricately linked to reducing stress. Preoperative drugs that combine hypnosis and anti-anxiety have not been studied in colorectal cancer patients. Midazolam oral solution is safe and effective for short-term hypnotic and anti-anxiety effects in clinical preoperative settings. In the current randomized controlled clinical trial, 280 patients experiencing sleep disturbance or anxiety prior to colorectal cancer surgery will receive midazolam solution to assess its potential efficacy in reducing postoperative pain, expediting recovery, and decreasing the likelihood of chronic pain. Additionally, the study aims to explore the potential connections between midazolam administration and reductions in stress and inflammation.
The goal of this study is test the hypothesis that sleep problems for children with ADHD are linked to sensory over-responsivity, a type of sensory processing difference that causes a person to interpret daily sensory input as stressful. This study examines the impact of sensory over-responsivity on bedtime arousal levels in 30 children with ADHD (ages 6-10). We will also test a bedtime intervention targeting sensory over-responsivity at bedtime and examine how it impacts bedtime arousal levels and sleep difficulties.
The platform protocol is designed to be flexible so that it is suitable for a range of study settings and intervention types. Therefore, the platform protocol provides a general protocol structure that can be shared by multiple interventions and allows comparative analysis across the interventions. For example, objectives, measures, and endpoints are generalized in the platform protocol, but intervention-specific features are detailed in separate appendices. This platform protocol is a prospective, multi-center, multi-arm, randomized controlled platform trial evaluating potential interventions for PASC-mediated sleep disturbances. The hypothesis is that symptoms of sleep and circadian disorders that emerge in patients with PASC can be improved by phenotype-targeted interventions. Specific sleep and circadian disorders addressed in this protocol include sleep-related daytime impairment (referred to as hypersomnia) and complex PASC-related sleep disturbance (reflecting symptoms of insomnia and sleep-wake rhythm disturbance).
