Filter by:This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Adaptogen Elixir herbal drink in relieving emotions and improving sleep quality. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the placebo group or the Adaptogen Elixir herbal drink group, with 25 participants in each group. On the day of the experiment (week 0), participants are required to collect blood and saliva samples, fill out questionnaires assessing sleep disorders and stress condition, and use a sleep monitoring system to track their sleep and autonomic nervous system conditions. Subsequently, participants will be given the experimental samples and instructed to consume them continuously for 4 weeks following the instruction. Follow-up assessments will be conducted in the 2nd and 4th weeks, participants are required to collect blood and saliva samples, fill out questionnaires assessing sleep disorders and stress condition, and use a sleep monitoring system to track their sleep and autonomic nervous system conditions.
Postoperative sleep disorders have serious problems with cognition, pain perception, sustained circadian rhythm, psychomotor function, metabolic function, catabolic responses, and continuity. The relationship between general anesthesia and sleep disturbances following surgery is still unclear. Since the risk of sleep disorders after surgery is high, it is important to determine the efficiency of the interval with automatic sleep disorders. By evaluating how major orthopedic surgery and general anesthesia applied to posterior spinal instrumentation divides sleep quality, risk management allows determining the factors involved in the peroperative period and thus facilitating surgical results and patient comfort.
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.
This study will be conducted to compare between effects of mindfulness breathing and storytelling on insomnia in the elderly.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of adolescent sleep disorders and the effect of sleeping pills withdrawal.
The study is a comparative, self-controlled, randomized, prospective investigation designed to assess the usability and accuracy of the DormoTech Vlab and compare its performance with a full polysomnography (PSG) study conducted over one night in a sleep lab. For the purpose of this study, the selected PSG device used for comparison is the Nox A1 system (K192469). Participants were required to wear the DormoTech Vlab, answer questionnaires pre and post-study, and simultaneously undergo a full PSG test using the Nox system. The statistical methodology for this study was designed to ensure a comprehensive analysis of the data, adhering to the standards set by the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) E3 guideline
The preservation surgery of the anal sphincter muscle has become the standard procedure in the treatment of rectal cancer and, thanks to advancements in surgical techniques, can now be performed for tumors located closer to the anus. This method allows patients to avoid a permanent artificial anus, maintaining continuity of the intestines and enabling bowel movements through the anus, making it a highly preferred procedure. Furthermore, advancements in various tumor treatments have led to improved long-term survival rates. Preservation surgery of the anal sphincter muscle is commonly used in the treatment of rectal cancer, resulting in approximately 90% of patients experiencing changes in bowel habits after surgery. These changes include characteristic diarrhea, urgent bowel movements, frequent bowel movements, and fecal incontinence, collectively known as Anterior Resection Syndrome (ARS). Particularly in the case of low rectal cancer, it often manifests as Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS). These symptoms are most severe immediately after surgery, generally persisting in a significant degree for 1-2 years, with some improvement over time. However, for many patients, LARS remains a lifelong challenge, significantly impacting their quality of life. Nighttime symptoms of LARS, in particular, have a profound effect on sleep quality, potentially leading to a decline in overall quality of life. Currently, there is no definitive method to completely cure LARS, and the available approaches focus on empirical treatments or short-term symptom control using medications such as loperamide. Loperamide directly affects the neuromuscular system of the intestine, reducing its motility. This prolongs the time food stays in the intestine, allowing sufficient absorption of moisture and electrolytes, consequently reducing symptoms of diarrhea. Loperamide is available in two forms: loperamide oxide and loperamide hydrochloride. While loperamide oxide products like Arestal® were prescribed by doctors until August 2017, the approval was revoked, leaving loperamide hydrochloride as the only form used domestically. It comes in a single product containing 2 mg of loperamide hydrochloride and a combination product with 0.25 mg of loperamide hydrochloride, a sterilizing agent in the intestine (e.g., acrylonitrile, berberine), and an antispasmodic. Transanal irrigation (TAI) is a method where patients self-administer water into the rectum through an enema, physically cleansing the anus and rectum. This technique is often used for patients with chronic constipation or fecal incontinence. TAI has proven beneficial, particularly in improving symptoms for patients experiencing bowel dysfunction following sphincter-preserving surgery, especially for those who underwent low anterior resection. However, there is currently no research on the utility and safety of TAI for LARS patients, specifically addressing whether it can improve the nighttime symptoms associated with LARS syndrome and enhance sleep quality. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of TAI on the quality of sleep in patients with nighttime symptoms of LARS syndrome.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that occurs after a traumatic event and is estimated to affect 5 to 12% of the general population. Around 70% of patients suffering from this disorder report sleep disorders (sleep apnea, insomnia, recurring nightmares, etc.). There are specific sleep disorders called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep behavior disorders which correspond to nocturnal restlessness with sometimes violent behavior, often associated with intense dreams during a phase of sleep called REM sleep. These disorders are more frequently found in patients suffering from post-traumatic stress, such as veterans. However, the physiopathological link between these two disorders is poorly understood and studies on this subject are few in number. Through this study, the investigators wish to demonstrate whether there is a correlation between the severity of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and that of Rapid Eye Movement sleep behavior disorder. The main objective is to study the relationship between the severity of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Behavior Disorder. This is an observational prospective study based on 4 questionnaires relating to the sleep (PSQI), the severity of the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Behavior Disorder (REM RBDSQ, IRBD-SSS) and the severity of the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PCL-5).
This single arm clinical trial will assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in the management of moderate-to-severe sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) among para-athletes living with cervical/thoracic, complete or incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) is effective in improving cognitive impairment, in reducing fatigue, depression, anxiety, and overall quality of life. Further, the study will evaluate the effectiveness of CPAP therapy in improving their performance in sports and the perceived risk of injuries.
Objective: Sleep and behavioral problems are common in infants at risk of autism. This study aims to examine the effect of Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention on sleep and behavioral problems in infants at risk of autism. Design: Twenty-four infants (15 boys, 9 girls) at risk for autism were randomized to the intervention group (n = 12; 28.33 ± 6.52 months) and the control group (n = 9; 30.11 ± 5.20 years). The intervention group received Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention in addition to the conventional 8-week sensory integration intervention, while the control group received only the conventional sensory integration intervention. Both groups assessed sleep and behavioral problems using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BİSQ) and the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale (VSEES) pre and post eight weeks of intervention.
