Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Description:

All subjects giving written informed consent. In this multicenter,controlled, prospective cohort study, the outpatient and inpatient adolescent sleep disorder patients' baseline demographic data were collected, including age, gender, education background, and medication history. Venous blood samples were collected and sent to laboratory test for blood routine, and blood biochemistry at Baseline and Week 4. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to assess the patients' sleep quality at baseline, month 1, month 3 and month 6. Objective sleep quality data is assessed by wearing a Sleep wearable devices. The classic Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire and wearable devices was used to assess the patients' chronotype at baseline and week 4.Subjects who visit the TCM clinic of this project received Suanzaoren Decoction and Huanglian Wendan Decoction and other decoctions orally twice daily for 4 weeks. Add or subtract Chinese herbal medicine according to the different clinical manifestations of each patient. Subjects from TCM clinic who had previously taken Western medicine hypnotics continued taking them, and for those who had not taken before, Western medicine hypnotics shall not be given/prescribed. Subjects who visit the Western medicine clinic of this project received cognitive behavioral therapy, if for various reasons can not accept cognitive behavioral therapy, or have received cognitive behavioral therapy is not effective, according to the doctor to consider drug treatment, taking Zolpidem Tartrate Tablets 0.25mg/kg, the maximum dose was 10mg / day ; according to the doctor 's clinical consideration, anxiety and depression drugs can be added. For patients under 18 years of age, under the careful consideration of the doctor for drug treatment, taking oxazepam tablets, 3.75-15mg / day, if necessary, signed informed consent of clinical medication. Adverse reactions were closely monitored during medication.The participants will have a follow-up visit every two weeks, and the prescription would be adjusted according to the condition of illness.Cessation rate of Western medicine hypnotics was assessed at Month 6.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change from Baseline in the total score of the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) at Month 1	The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) is a validated,self-reported instrument assessing the sleep quality over the past 4 week period. Possible scores range from 0(the best sleep quality) to 21(the worst possible sleep) quality).The higher the score of PSQI, the worse the sleep quality. Change=(Month 1 Score-Baseline Score)	Baseline and Month 1
Primary	Insomnia severity index ( ISI ) score reduction rate at Month 1	Insomnia severity index ( ISI ) is to assess the nature and symptoms of sleep disorders in subjects. Score reduction rate of Insomnia severity index ( ISI )=(Baseline number-Month 1number)/Baseline number of participants	Month 1
Secondary	Cessation rate of Western medicine hypnotics at Month 6	Cessation is defined as an absence of any Western medicine hypnotics that was sustained for 3 consecutive months or more. Cessation rate of Western medicine hypnotics=(Month 6 number-Baseline number)/Baseline number of Participants use Western medicine hypnotics.	Month 6
Secondary	Athens Insomnia Scale ( AIS ) score at Month 1	Athens Insomnia Scale ( AIS ) is to assess subjective feelings about sleep.Using 0(no sleep disorders)-3(insomnia) rating form.	Baseline and Month 1
Secondary	Change from Baseline of the ALT at 4 weeks	Alanine aminotransferase, ALT in U/L	Baseline and Week 4
Secondary	Change from Baseline of the AST at 4 weeks	Aspartate aminotransferase, AST in U/L	Baseline and Week 4
Secondary	Change from Baseline of the BUN at 4 weeks	Blood urea nitrogen, BUN in mmol/L	Baseline and Week 4
Secondary	Change from Baseline of the Scr at 4 weeks	Serum creatinine, Scr in µmol/L	Baseline and Week 4
