Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the effect of listening to music on sleep quality (subjective and objective), daytime dysfunction and neurophysiological arousal in patients with insomnia.
70 overweight or obese adults with sleep disorders will be recruited for this study, in which the investigators aim to compare wrist actigraphy with polysomnography (PSG) for sleep monitoring. It is to evaluate the applications of Jawbone Up2 with the sleep parameters derived from this actigraphy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of functional cervical pillow on inpatients with neck discomfort.
The general aim of this study is to assess the effects of Pharmaton® Caplets on mental performance and physical fatigue in nurses and nursing auxiliaries working night shifts
40 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who also have sleep disorders and mild depression in the community will be recruited and stochastically divided into the intervention group and the control group. Both groups will take the same group education courses including DSME (Diabetes Self-management Education), psychological support, improvement in sleep. Patients in the intervention group will receive peer support and yoga music therapy before bed. The observation period will last for 6 months so as to evaluate the benefits of peer support and yoga music therapy in sleep quality improvement and glycemic control of type 2 diabetic patients with sleep disorders and mild depression.
The objective of this study is to determine if a non-invasive technique, using an innovative analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) data, would allow for detection of respiratory events during sleep and discrimination between central and obstructive apnea. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common respiratory disturbance seen during sleep, with an estimated prevalence of 10 % in the population and is strongly associated with the development of cardiovascular disease. In patients with underlying cardiac disease, particularly in heart failure (HF), central respiratory events such as Cheyne-Stokes Respiration (CSR) are often seen during sleep. The presence of CSR is also associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Currently, the identification and classification of sleep related respiratory disturbances is performed during over-night sleep studies (polysomnography), which are labor-intensive, time-consuming, expensive and difficult for patients. Thus, the development of alternative techniques to assist in the identification of those events in the outpatient setting is of marked importance for widespread screening of sleep apnea.
To evaluate the effect of Songha Night ® on insomnia, anxiety and quality of life compared to placebo in patients with mild to moderate insomnia.
The aim of this study is to examine if repetitive computerized cognitive training improves working memory in patients who are on sick leave due to complex symptom disorders (chronic pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression and or sleep disorders), and whether effects of cognitive control training transfer to other tasks.
The investigators hypothesize that use of an educational story with pictures illustrating overnight sleep study procedure (also called polysomnography or PSG)accompanied by simple narrative will be a cost-effective, readily accepted intervention that will contribute to successful completion of sleep studies among children with disabilities. Children who have been referred for a clinical sleep study at Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) will be enrolled and randomized to either recieve usual care (discussion of polysomnography with referring clinicians) or educational story intervention. Both groups of participants will be asked to complete questionnaries before and after the sleep study. Set-up for the sleep study will be videotaped so that behavior of the child can be evaluated. The investigators will evaluate whether successful study completion differs between the two groups.
Sleep's deficiencies are very common in intensive care. Mechanical ventilation is a known factor in this deterioration.The investigators hypothesize that close-loop ventilation mode (Intellivent-ASV) is able to minimize sleep deterioration, adjusting ventilation to the patient needs.
