Study Design: Ninety children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), between the ages of 2 to less than 7 years, and their parents will be recruited for this 10 week randomized clinical trial. Participants will be randomized to five individually delivered sessions of Sleep Parent Training (SPT) or five individually delivered sessions of Sleep Parent Education (SPE). Delivery of the programs will be via telehealth platform which also includes parent-child coaching in real-time. In addition to baseline, outcome measures will be collected at week 5 (midpoint of trial) and week 10 (endpoint of trial) as well as follow-up at week 16 to determine durability of treatment.
The study present findings from the implementation of myCompass, a fully automated self-help intervention of Australian origin for mild to moderate anxiety and depression, in a Swedish context. The study also investigates the usage of a specially designed research platform aimed at handling informed consent and online surveys.
Nocturnal hypertension (i.e. blood pressure values >120/70 or 10% higher than diurnal values, as measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, ABPM) is particularly frequent in renal transplant recipients (RTR), despite the use of antihypertensive drugs. Since RTR are also affected by several sleep disorders (like insomnia, restless legs syndrome, sleep apnoea) that frankly impair their quality of sleep (SQ), the aim of the present study is to ascertain whether a relationship exists between nocturnal hypertension and SQ. In fact, both nocturnal hypertension and sleep disorders may favour the onset or the progression of cardiovascular diseases, the first cause of death in RTR.
Studies have shown that schedules that most disrupt the normal circadian rhythm have the most harmful consequences. Firefighters positive for a sleep disorder have a higher risk of depression and anxiety; they report more traffic accidents, falling asleep during driving, and worth health felt. Furthermore, some studies suggest that sleep disorders are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This activity is responsible of a worth quality of sleep that could induce a lower effectiveness of emergency response. The consequences of this schedules on sleep and health of French firemen have never been studied.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common consequence of combat that can result in trauma-related hyperarousal and sleep disturbances. Poor sleep, one of the most common complaints in Veterans with PTSD, can be distressing, impair concentration and memory, and contribute to physical health conditions, such as metabolic syndrome, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. The orexin neuropeptide system underlies both sleep and stress reactivity. Suvorexant, a drug that reduces orexin, improves sleep in civilians, but has not yet been tested in Veterans with PTSD. This study will test whether suvorexant can improve sleep disturbances and PTSD symptoms in Veterans. Suvorexant may benefit Veterans by improving sleep quickly while also reducing PTSD symptoms over the long term, and with fewer side effects that were common in previous medications used to treat these conditions. Improving Veterans' sleep and PTSD symptoms could lead to better emotional and physical well-being, quality of life, relationships, and functioning.
The proposed study aims to examine the effectiveness of Nanit-Insights, an app-based intervention for parents who wish to improve their infant's sleep.
This trial investigates the behavioural effects of Internet-based Cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder with sleep problems. This is a randomised controlled trial.
This study will enroll participants with idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD), for the purpose of preparing for a clinical trial of neuroprotective treatments against synucleinopathies.
