Filter by:The investigators aim to pilot test the efficacy of a yoga intervention designed specifically for individuals with ocular hypertension. The investigators would like to find out if a combination of breathing, postures and meditation may help to reduce intraocular pressure in the short term after each yoga session, and also long-term across an 8-week program. Subjects will participate in the yoga intervention sessions led by Dr. Pamela Jeter once a week at the investigators center, and will be asked to practice at home at least twice a week using a audio CD.
The investigators would like to investigate the effects of treating sleep apnea with a positive airway pressure device, either continuous (titrated) versus auto titrated on the control of blood pressure in patients with Resistant Hypertension.
The ultimate goal of this work is to establish a method for control bleeding after tonsillectomy in awake children. Treatment of post-tonsillectomy bleeding in children typically requires general anesthesia with currently used electrocautery techniques. Micropolysaccharide hemosphere technology is a unique absorbable agent that helps clot form. These hemospheres consist of 100% purified plant starch that enhances natural clotting by concentrating blood solids such as platelets, red blood cells, and blood proteins on the particle surfaces to form a gelled matrix. This device provides painless, non-irritating control of bleeding, and has been used effectively for control of nosebleeds in awake adult patients. This device, however, has not been tested in the tonsillar fossae in children; thus, this study is performed to determine if at least 50% of children with bleeding tonsillar fossae can be spared rescue treatment with electrocautery.
The proposed study is a double-blind, placebo controlled pilot study of HD, PD, and DLB subjects with sleep disturbances. This study is designed to determine the effects of 4 weeks Ramelteon treatment on the sleep patterns of people with basal ganglia disorders such as HD, PD and DLB. The study also aims to look at the sleep patterns of caregivers of people with HD, PD and DLB.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether melatonin can improve sleep, quality of life and markers of heart failure in patients with heart failure.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Advair Diskus improves sleep quality by reducing lung hyperinflation in COPD.
RATIONALE: Learning about insomnia and quality of life in patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer may help doctors learn about the effects of treatment and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying insomnia in patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
RATIONALE: Measuring levels of interleukin-6 and depression may help doctors understand the relationship between interleukin-6 and depression. It may also help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying depression and interleukin-6 production in patients with ovarian epithelial cancer.
