Filter by:The goal of this pilot intervention study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a novel bedtime manipulation protocol called "The Power Down" for autistic youth, ages 6-10. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the Power Down feasible for caregivers to do each night? 2. Do the families find the Power Down an acceptable intervention to address their child's difficulties settling down to fall asleep?
The main objective will be to assess the effect of Lactium® on sleep efficiency in volunteers presented with persistent subclinical insomnia.
Ulcerative colitis(UC) is one of the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD), which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Previous studies have demonstrated that more than 60% of IBD patients have sleep disorders, which is emerging as an important risk factor for disease recurrence and poor prognosis. However, the mechanisms by which sleep disorders regulates the occurrence and development of IBD remain undefined. This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics of ulcerative colitis patients with sleep disorders based on the microbiota-gut-brain axis, to analyze the effects of sleep disorders on autonomic nervous function, gut microbiota, and metabolites in UC patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test ALDER (Anxiety Lowering and Deprescribing through Emotion Regulation), an online self-guided positive emotion intervention, in patients over the age of 65 who are candidates for benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BZRA, commonly called benzos, or z-drugs) deprescribing. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is ALDER relevant to and satisfactory for older adult BZRA users? - Does ALDER help to increase positive emotions and decrease anxiety, trouble sleeping, and use of BZRA medications? Participants will complete the 5-week online self-guided ALDER intervention as well as two survey assessments, one before the intervention and one after.
Emerging evidence has shown that sleep interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) improve depressive and anxiety symptoms in adults, even when the intervention is brief, such as four to six sessions. The overarching aim of the proposed research is to conduct a pilot trial to evaluate whether a brief intervention for insomnia adapted for improves sleep and subthreshold depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescents at risk (i.e., with a parental history of depressive or anxiety disorders).
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the impact of health and wellness products on sleep and related health outcomes.
Introduction: Nowadays, the reduction of perceived stress and the improvement of sleep quality are considered fundamental aspects in the quality of life of both healthy subjects and patients with disease. Stress has become a pandemic in recent years due to the socio-labor demands faced by society. On the other hand, it has a direct relationship with the quality of sleep, its influence being bidirectional. In this regard, several tools have been reported for the management of these conditions. These include strategies such as yoga, mindfulness, diaphragmatic breathing (DR) or Pilates. On the other hand, other proposals such as global postural reeducation (GPR) lack evidence in the management of these conditions. Objectives: Compare the effects of a diaphragmatic breathing self-management program with global postural reeducation on stress and sleep quality in university students. Method: The study will be carried out with physiotherapy students of the University Francisco de Vitoria. The participants will be randomly divided into three groups: GPR group, DR group and control group. Perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale - PSS14) and reported sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - PSQI) will be measured three times throughout the study: pre-intervention, 3 weeks after the start of the intervention and post-intervention. The intervention will last 6 weeks, during which time all participants will be required to complete the 5 Grade Scale (5GS) each morning. The GPR group will perform; Frog to the ground posture, while the DR group will follow a set breathing protocol at a 4/6 rhythm. Both GPR and DR will be performed 10 minutes before going to sleep. Ethical considerations: The principles of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki will be followed. The proposed interventions are non-invasive, based on the combination of mild physical activity tools, body awareness and relaxation techniques. The dependent variables to be measured are based on clinimetric aspects, without any harm to the participants. Subjects will be asked to participate on a voluntary basis and may withdraw from the study at any time.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of preoperative nasal spry with dexmedetomidine on postoperative sleep disturbance in young to middle-aged women undergoing hysteroscopy. The main questions it aims to answer are:1) what is the incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance in unisex patients who receive propofol anesthesia. 2) The preventive effect of preanesthesia nasal spray dexmedetomidine on postoperative sleep disturbance. Participants will receive total intravenous propofol anaesthesia after dexmedetomidine nasal spray. Sleep quality will be monitored by using a Wearable devices and the PSQI which was used to assess sleep quality 1,2 days before the surgery and 1,3,7 days after surgery. Researchers will compare the effects of 0.2 or 0.5 ug/kg dexmedetomidine to see if it help improve postanesthesia sleep quality.
Sleep disorder in autism children is common and it affects the physical, behavior and mental health. There is lack of comprehensive management program/module to treat the sleep disorders in children with ASD. Limited studies evaluating the utility of actigraphy to diagnose sleep disorders in ASD and its validation with PSG are present. Rationale of this study is to develop the comprehensive module and validate it for children with autism spectrum disorders, so as to improve the behavioral outcomes as well. This study also helps to utilize actigraphy as a modality to diagnose sleep disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder as performing PSG in these children is cumbersome and difficult as ASD children tend to have sensory abnormalities.
The purpose of this study is to pilot a randomized clinical trial designed to improve the sleep environments, sleep hygiene practices, and the duration and quality of sleep of children and parents in low-income families. It is hypothesized that child and parent sleep (assessed through subjective reports of sleep, sleep environments, sleep hygiene practices, and objective sleep data via sleep actigraphy collected with Fitbit watches) in the intervention group will improve between Week 2 (intervention session) and Week 4 (post-intervention session) as compared to child and parent sleep in the waitlist-control group.
