Filter by:The objective of this trial is to assess the effect of rotigotine (SPM 962) on the control of early morning motor impairment and sleep disorders in subjects with idiopathic PD. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria will begin treatment with rotigotine transdermal patches. Trial medication will be titrated to an optimal daily dose, or to the maximal dose. Following a Titration period of up to 8 weeks, subjects will be maintained on the optimal or maximal dose for 4 weeks. After the Maintenance period, subjects will have the option to enter into an open-label extension study. The first subject was enrolled in December 2004. The last subject was enrolled in April 2005 and the last subject visit was conducted in July 2005. This study is now closed
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with melatonin supplements in improving sleep in individuals with high blood pressure who are taking beta-blockers.
The purpose of the study is to compare the overnight efficacy and plasma concentration-time profiles of armodafinil and PROVIGIL, after multiple doses, in patients with excessive sleepiness associated with chronic Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD).
A 12 Month, Open-Label, Flexible Dosage Extension Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Armodafinil (CEP-10953) in the Treatment of Patients with Excessive Sleepiness Associated with Narcolepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome, or Chronic Shift Work Sleep Disorder
ADHD is often associated with sleep difficulties. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common problem presented to children mental health services. The disorder affects approximately 5 % of school-age children. The core symptoms of this disorder include varying degrees of inattention, impulsiveness and restlessness. In addition to the core symptoms, ADHD is associated with other problems (e.g. academic underachievement, poor social relations and sleep disturbances). Despite clinical observations of sleep problems in children with ADHD, there is little empirical research on this topic. The prevalence, type of sleep problems, and significance of these sleep disturbances in children with ADHD remain undocumented. The objective is to determine the relationship of sleep problems to attention deficit/hyperactive disorder, comorbid disorders, and the effect of stimulant treatment.
The purpose of the study is to test the effect of a sleep disorders detection and treatment program for police officers on their safety, quality of life, and job performance. The program is called Operation Healthy Sleep. We will develop and test a sleep health detection and treatment program that we aim to apply nationwide to reduce police officer fatigue and stress; enhance the ability of officers and their families to cope with police work; improve the health, safety and performance of law enforcement officers; and thereby improve public safety. Part of this program will include a questionnaire asking about about work hours and health related issues. We will then look at how these survey data relate with data on police officer safety and job performance that we are collecting through police department's databases. Sleep disorders are common and treatable, but often remain undiagnosed and untreated. Police officers work some of the most demanding schedules known, which increases their risk of sleep disorders. The public expects officers to perform flawlessly, but unrecognized sleep disorders lead to severe disruption of sleep, which significantly reduces an individual's ability to think clearly and perform well. In addition, sleep loss and sleep disruption affect personal health, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular. We also know that sleep loss increases the risk of injury due to motor vehicle crashes. The goals of Operation Healthy Sleep are to improve officers' health, safety, and performance by reducing the impact of fatigue. The study will take place over two years. In the first year, half of the police officers will take part in Operation Healthy Sleep, and in the second year, the second half will participate. We will carefully select the year 1 and year 2 groups so that the data collected across the two years can be validly compared.
The information gathered from normal pediatric patients seen at the Pediatric Neurology Clinic in the DCAM and LaRabida Children's Hospital will be used to standardize and validate the information gathered from pediatric patients with sleep disorders. This will serve as the information source for a pediatric sleep database.
The purpose of this study is to develop a questionnaire that can be used for standardized patient information gathering in the clinical setting. This will serve as the information source for a pediatric sleep database.
The purposes of this study are: - to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the drug prazosin compared to placebo for combat stress-related nightmares, sleep disturbance and overall function in recently combat-exposed returnees from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). - to evaluate the effects of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) paroxetine on behavioral symptoms and overall function in this population.
