Filter by:Pediatric patients undergoing stem cell transplant (SCT) are hospitalized for extended periods and are at high risk for sleep disturbances. In order to begin to address the environmental issues that SCT recipients face during inpatient hospitalizations, investigators will conduct a single arm pilot study of a program entitled 'Developing Restful Environments and Management Strategies' (DREAMS). The program will provide children receiving SCT and families with information and a kit that includes tools which may support sleep and circadian health during an inpatient hospitalization.
The overall purpose of this study is to understand the role of disrupted sleep in the association of exposure to early life adversity (adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)) with vascular endothelial (dys)function. In Aim 1 (The Iowa ACEs and Sleep Cohort Study), the investigators will utilize a cross-sectional cohort design with a state-of-the-art translational approach. Participants will be recruited to objectively characterize the degree to which lower sleep quality and quantity contribute to ACEs-related endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative stress in young adults using: 1. rigorous at home sleep monitoring using 7-nights of wrist actigraphy and 2 nights of home-based polysomnography to objectively measure sleep quality (sleep efficiency, wakefulness after sleep onset and sleep depth), and total sleep duration, 2. in vivo assessment of endothelial function via flow-mediated dilation testing, and 3. in vitro determination of endothelial cell inflammation and oxidative stress from biopsied endothelial cells. This study to achieve this Aim. In Aim 2, approximately 70 eligible participants from Aim 1 (The Iowa ACEs and Sleep Cohort Study) will then be randomized to either a 6-week behavioral sleep intervention (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) or a wait-list control to determine the mechanistic contribution of sleep disruption to vascular dysfunction in young adults with moderate-to-high exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Following the intervention, participants will again complete: 1. rigorous at home sleep monitoring using 7-nights of wrist actigraphy and 2 nights of home-based polysomnography to objectively measure sleep quality (sleep efficiency, wakefulness after sleep onset and sleep depth), and total sleep duration, 2. in vivo assessment of endothelial function via flow-mediated dilation testing, and 3. in vitro determination of endothelial cell inflammation and oxidative stress from biopsied endothelial cells.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of intraoperative esketamine infusion on postoperative sleep disturbance(PSD) of patients undergoing spinal surgery. The main aims to answer are: - To explore the effect of intraoperative infusion of esketamine on the incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance and sleep quality in patients undergoing spinal surgery. - To explore the effect of intraoperative infusion of esketamine on postoperative pain, anxiety and depression ; Participants will be patients undergoing spinal surgery with general anesthesia at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. 0.3mg/kg/h esketamine or saline will be infused during surgery . The incidence of sleep disturbance , sleep quality, pain scores, hospital anxiety and depression scores and perioperative adverse events after surgery will be investigated.
The primary aim is to investigate the frequency and severity of neuropathic pain and its association with night pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis. For this purpose a progressive longitudinal study design was planned. The secondary aim is to investigate the relationship between night pain and neuropathic pain and sleep quality.
Up to 25% of intensive care unit (ICU) survivors experience cognitive impairment comparable in severity to mild Alzheimer's disease and related dementias after hospital discharge. Older ICU survivors (ages 60 and older) are at highest risk for delirium and subsequent cognitive impairment, which contribute to higher risk for cognitive decline related to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Sleep and activity are essential for recovery from critical illness, yet ICU survivors experience both sleep deficiency and profound inactivity. About 75-80% of ICU patients experience circadian dysrhythmia, which contributes to cognitive decline and increases likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The scientific premises of the proposed study are: 1) a combined sleep promotion and cognitive training intervention will have synergistic effects to mitigate the risk of cognitive impairment and development of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in older ICU survivors; and 2) chronotherapeutic timing of interventions (i.e., adjusting timing of interventions according to circadian rhythm) may improve intervention efficacy.
This is a novel and the first study to investigate the impacts of the integrated treatment of Tai Chi (TC) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on sleep disturbances and the potential mechanisms of arousal system. To validate the combination of TC and rTMS as a promising approach for managing sleep disturbance in older adults, the investigators will conduct a four-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial comprising a 4-week treatment phase and a 3-month follow up period. A total of 152 eligible participants will be recruited and randomly assign to the TC plus active rTMS (38 participants), TC plus sham rTMS (38 participants), TC-alone (38 participants), and low-intensity PE (38 participants) control group within two weeks after the baseline assessment. TC plus active rTMS, TC plus sham rTMS, and TC-alone will be compared with a low-intensity PE control group on insomnia severity, various sleep parameters assessed by self-report sleep diary and ActiGraph, emotional states, and physical and mental health related quality of life. The investigators have formulated two hypotheses in this study. First, the three intervention groups, relative to participants undergoing PE, will confer greater improvement in all measured outcomes at post-intervention (T1) and three-month follow-up (T2); and second, in the double-blinded groups, the TC plus active rTMS will show greater improvement in all measured outcomes than TC plus sham rTMS at T1 and T2.
Previous studies have indicated a high incidence of sleep disturbances and anxiety symptoms in individuals with colorectal cancers prior to undergoing surgery, leading to worsened postoperative pain, slower recovery, and higher risk of chronic pain. The enhancement of sleep quality is intricately linked to reducing stress. Preoperative drugs that combine hypnosis and anti-anxiety have not been studied in colorectal cancer patients. Midazolam oral solution is safe and effective for short-term hypnotic and anti-anxiety effects in clinical preoperative settings. In the current randomized controlled clinical trial, 280 patients experiencing sleep disturbance or anxiety prior to colorectal cancer surgery will receive midazolam solution to assess its potential efficacy in reducing postoperative pain, expediting recovery, and decreasing the likelihood of chronic pain. Additionally, the study aims to explore the potential connections between midazolam administration and reductions in stress and inflammation.
The goal of this study is test the hypothesis that sleep problems for children with ADHD are linked to sensory over-responsivity, a type of sensory processing difference that causes a person to interpret daily sensory input as stressful. This study examines the impact of sensory over-responsivity on bedtime arousal levels in 30 children with ADHD (ages 6-10). We will also test a bedtime intervention targeting sensory over-responsivity at bedtime and examine how it impacts bedtime arousal levels and sleep difficulties.
The platform protocol is designed to be flexible so that it is suitable for a range of study settings and intervention types. Therefore, the platform protocol provides a general protocol structure that can be shared by multiple interventions and allows comparative analysis across the interventions. For example, objectives, measures, and endpoints are generalized in the platform protocol, but intervention-specific features are detailed in separate appendices. This platform protocol is a prospective, multi-center, multi-arm, randomized controlled platform trial evaluating potential interventions for PASC-mediated sleep disturbances. The hypothesis is that symptoms of sleep and circadian disorders that emerge in patients with PASC can be improved by phenotype-targeted interventions. Specific sleep and circadian disorders addressed in this protocol include sleep-related daytime impairment (referred to as hypersomnia) and complex PASC-related sleep disturbance (reflecting symptoms of insomnia and sleep-wake rhythm disturbance).
