Filter by:Despite long-term use in clinical practice, chronic treatment with efavirenz (EFV) has been associated with persistent central nervous system symptoms or mild or even asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment. Whether switching to rilpivirine (RPV) containing regimen is beneficial among patients who experience mild or asymptomatic neurocognitive/neuropsychiatric adverse events during EFV has not been explored yet. The proposed pilot study will examine whether switching from single tablet regimen TDF/FTC/EFV to single tablet regimen TDF/FTC/RPV is associated with neurocognitive/neuropsychiatric improvement among HIV-infected patients with mild/asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment or neuropsychiatric symptoms during EFV-containing antiretroviral treatment. Patients under stable treatment with TDF/FTC/EFV, confirmed HIV-1 RNA viral load < 50 copies/mL and altered scores in depression, quality of sleep or anxiety tests and/or alteration in 1 or more domains as assessed by neuropsychological assessment, will be randomized to immediate or deferred (24 weeks) switch to TDF/FTC/RPV. Neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric tests will be repeated after 12, 24 and 48 weeks of follow-up and variations will be compared between groups.
The study objective is to collect heart rate, respiration rate and motion data of patients admitted to sleep lab and to determine the accuracy level of the EarlySense system vs. the monitors used in sleep lab (e.g., Polysomnography, respiratory belts, ECG, etc..) . Data regarding sleep condition, scoring and quality of sleep and in and out of bed status, patient turns will also be collected and compared to data collected by EarlySense contactless monitor. Different patient population will be monitored including obese, morbidly obese, patients with or without obstructive/central apnea, patients with or without arrhythmia as well as healthy population who arrive to sleep lab for general evaluation will be monitored
The investigators are going to compare the sleep quality and quantity between dexmedetomidine group and midazolam group using 24 hour polysomnography in critically ill patients. And the investigators also compare the incidence of delirium between the two groups.
Sleep disorder is a common problem in menopausal women and the decrease in the sleep leads to poor daily activity. Traditional Chinese acupressure is a noninvasive, effective and safe technique that can be easily taught to menopausal women so that they apply it as a self-care method and a manager of sleep disruption. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acupressure on sleep quality of postmenopausal women.This double blind randomized clinical trial was performed on 120 qualified menopausal women at the age of 41-65 years; and sleep quality was measured with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI ).Participants were randomly assigned to an acupressure group, a sham acupressure group and a control group by two time randomized method (systematic and simple randomized). These interventions were carried out for 4 consecutive weeks. Participants in acupressure group and sham acupressure group learned to carry out acupressure technique as a self care at home with the simultaneous massage techniques that were to be performed 2 hours before sleep, whereas only conversation was used in the control group. The statistical software package for social science (SPSS) Version 17 was used for data analysis.
The study hypothesized that it is feasible and safe to use Hatha yoga in older women with knee osteoarthritis (OA), and practicing Hatha yoga regularly will help reduce pain and stiffness, enhance physical function, and improve quality of sleep and quality of life in older women with knee OA.
The purpose of this study is to examine the ability of a structured physical activity program to improve sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in patients with Parkinson's disease.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the sleep aid Lunesta (Eszopiclone), on older adults who reside in a nursing home and have poor sleep as determined by wrist actigraphy.
The purposes of this study are: 1. to evaluate the relationship between subjective complaints of sleep and objective measures of sleep quality, as measured through polysomnography, and 2. to evaluate the efficacy of trazodone, as compared to placebo, in individuals early in methadone maintenance.
