Filter by:Mental illness is often chronic, severe, and difficult to treat. Though there has been significant progress towards establishing effective and efficient interventions for psychological health problems, many individuals do not gain lasting benefits from these treatments. The Memory Support Intervention (MSI) was developed utilizing existing findings from the cognitive science literature to improve treatment outcomes. In this study, the investigators aim to conduct an open trial that includes individuals 50 years and older to assess if a novel version of the Memory Support Intervention improves sleep and circadian functioning, reduces functional impairment, and improves patient memory for treatment.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term health of United States military service members who were injured during combat. The main questions it aims to examine are: - How does the severity of a combat injury impact 1) cardiovascular risk, 2) the sympathetic nervous system and arrhythmias, 3) blood pressure, and 4) sleep disorders? - Are self-reported mental health symptoms related to sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, sleep disorders, and cardiovascular risk in combat-injured service members? This study will recruit from a sample of participants in another research study called the Wounded Warrior Recovery Project (WWRP) who 1) agreed to be contacted about future research studies and 2) have a record of a combat injury within the Injury Severity Score ranges required for this study. Participants will: - Provide demographic information and a medical history review - Visit a local laboratory for biometrics measurements and to provide blood and urine samples - Wear an ambulatory electrocardiogram monitor for 24 hours per day for seven consecutive days - Wear a home sleep test monitoring device for one night - Wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 consecutive hours on the day after the home sleep test At the end of the study, participants will be asked to mail back the home sleep test and blood pressure monitors. Prepaid package materials will be provided.
Glaucoma is a chronic disease that causes loss of vision and potentially blindness as a result of optic nerve damage, often due to increased intraocular pressure. Glaucoma is currently the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.1 In 2020, 4.1 million and 3.6 million adults over the age of 50 suffered from mild to severe glaucoma-induced visual impairment and blindness, respectively.1 However, these figures are likely underestimated since glaucoma can remain asymptomatic until later stages in disease progression.2 The relaxation response evoked by mind-body interventions, such as breathing exercises and meditation, is known to reduce stress and improve quality of life (QOL). In a recent study, mindfulness-based meditation was found to reduce intraocular pressure and improve QOL in patients with glaucoma.3 A feasibility study will be conducted using a mixed-method design to assess the feasibility of the online delivery of an intervention titled Breathing Exercises followed by Meditation for potentially enhancing the QOL and mental health of glaucoma patients. Upon recruitment, participants will undergo blocked randomization to either the intervention arm or usual care arm, stratified by sex. Participants in each arm will complete online questionnaires at baseline and after 12 weeks to collect data on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), depression symptoms, anxiety, and sleep quality using REDCap, an electronic data capturing system provided by Lawson Health Research Institute (LHRI). Our study can help to assess the feasibility of conducting a pilot study on breathing exercises followed by meditation to assess its effects in a sample of patients with glaucoma.
The plant Melissa officinalis L. is commonly used to treat disorders related to anxiety and sleep quality. It contains several phytochemicals that give it antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective properties. A study on subjects with mild to moderate anxiety and sleep disorders showed that an extract of Melissa officinalis reduced anxiety manifestations by 18%, improved symptoms associated with anxiety by 15%, and reduced insomnia by 42%. However, that study did not have a control group, so a randomized trial with a control group is needed. The objective of the study will be to evaluate the beneficial effects of a phytosome-formulated Melissa officinalis extract on sleep duration and different stages of sleep, which will be monitored using a wrist device. She will be provided with a wrist device that will be used for sleep monitoring. The trial will last for 45 days, in which she will be asked to take the phytosome-formulated Melissa supplement for two 14-day periods (2 tablets, 30 minutes before bedtime). There will be a 7-day break in the intake period between the two periods. At the beginning, middle, and end of the trial, you will be asked to answer some questionnaires.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about The safety and efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in patients with chronic insomnia disorder. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Safety of the FMT oral capsule pathway in the clinical treatment of chronic insomnia - Effectiveness of the FMT oral capsule route for patients with chronic insomnia Participants in the intervention group will be given FMT by boral capsule pathway, and in the control group will be given the same appearance capsules containing vitamins. Researchers will compare the sleep status(PSQI and PSG)of the patients in both groups.
The main objective of the study is to observe changes in the subjects' sleep quality, skin condition and life status after 4 weeks of using a sleep aid drink (AOXMED Poria γ-aminobutyric acid drink). This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled, 4-week (28-day) clinical study conducted in Chinese healthy women aged 25-55 years old who were offered a sleep aid drink.
The investigators planned to investigate the effect of close monitoring on compliance and the factors affecting compliance among patients receiving PAP treatment due to OSA.This study was a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study approved by the hospital's ethics committee.One hundred twenty-eight patients were randomized as group one or two as group 1 is the study and group 2 is the control group. The first group was called by phone on the 15th day to ask if there were any complaints or problems with the device. Sequentially, they were called for controls at the end of the first, third, and sixth months. The second group was accepted as the control group, following our clinic's standard procedure in the first and sixth months. The patients who came to the control were asked if there were any problems with the device and any difficulties in use, and they were again informed about the devices and masks.
Sleep difficulties are common following stroke yet effective evidence-based interventions for improving sleep in this population are lacking. A small number of studies have investigated the use of music listening as a way to improve sleep in adults with insomnia. This study aims to examine whether a mindful music-listening intervention can reduce subjective and objective insomnia symptoms and improve mood and fatigue post-stroke. Six adults with a clinical diagnosis of stroke presenting with an insomnia disorder will be recruited from stroke services within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. A multiple baseline single case experimental design will be employed. Participants will be randomly allocated to a baseline phase of 7, 11 or 15 days, followed by a five-week mindful music-listening intervention incorporating sleep hygiene. Changes in subjective and objective sleep will be measured using questionnaires and actigraphy, respectively. Mood and fatigue will also be measured. The data will be analysed using visual inspection, Tau-U and multi-level modelling.
This research adopts the uniform parallel hybrid research design; The quantitative data and qualitative data were collected at the same time, and then the quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed respectively. Finally, the two data sets were combined. Comprehensive interpretation of the study issues through complementarity and mutual validation of quantitative and qualitative data.
This study seeks to improve clinical outcomes for an important, growing, and vulnerable population-nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias-by testing an evidence-based intervention to improve these residents' sleep. It will also examine the implementation and sustainment of this intervention.
