Filter by:Patients with severe illness require lifesaving treatment in intensive care units. Around a third of patients admitted to intensive care develop delirium. This is a severe state of confusion. Delirium can be a frightening experience. Patients suffering from delirium can find it difficult to think clearly or understand what is happening. In some cases delirium can cause people to see or hear things that are not really there. Patients who develop delirium tend to spend longer in hospital and have worse overall outcomes. A major cause for the development of delirium is poor sleep. Previous research suggests that delirium levels can be reduced when patients are more active. The investigators have noticed that when patients in intensive care have physiotherapy during the day, they are often very tired and fall asleep quickly afterwards. The investigators think that patients who have physiotherapy in the evening will sleep better overnight and hope this will subsequently reduce the number who develop delirium. To answer this question the investigators need to compare patients who are active in the evening with those who only have physiotherapy sessions during the day. Before a full study can take place it is important to make sure it is designed in the best way. To do this, 60 patients will be recruited from 2 hospitals in the UK over 6 months. Half of those who agree to take part will be seen by the physiotherapist in the evening, the other half will not. The investigators will then ask the following questions before deciding whether to do a full study 1. Will patients agree to be a part of this trial? 2. Will they agree to the additional physiotherapy sessions offered in the evening? 3. Will patients and staff members be happy for us to randomly select who receives this extra treatment?
The purpose of this study is to test an intervention to improve health promoting behaviors in family caregivers of patients receiving cancer therapy
The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of using N-of-1 methods in a virtual research study of melatonin intervention for poor sleep quality. Participants (N=60) will be sent a Fitbit device and 3 smart pill bottles, with one containing 3 mg of melatonin, one containing 0.5 mg of melatonin, and the final bottle containing a placebo pill. The first two weeks will be a baseline period, where no supplement is assigned, but data are collected, including self-report of sleep quality and duration and accelerometer-derived sleep and activity data. After successful completion of the baseline period, participants will be randomized to six 2-week intervention blocks of a 3 mg dose melatonin, a 0.5 mg dose melatonin, and a placebo. At the end of the trial, participants will be asked to complete the System Usability Scale, a satisfaction survey (electronic or phone/video call if they are non-responders), and participate in a virtual interview (such as over Microsoft Teams or a phone call) to inform feasibility and acceptability of protocol requirements, study materials, and personalized reports.
The purpose of the study is to determine physical and mental health issues of U.S. embryologists related to their occupational characteristics, and how workplace fatigue and burnout may affect their quality of life, cynicism, interactions with patients, attention to detail, and lead to human error, the cause of the most severe IVF incidents that often make headlines and result in costly litigation. It will also correlate how the current manual workflows contribute to these health issues, and what measures can be taken to improve both working conditions and embryologists' health, and, therefore, improve patient care.
This study will investigate the biological mechanisms linking sleep disruption by noise and the development of disease. In a laboratory sleep study, we will play traffic sounds of different types (road, rail and air) and noise levels during the night. We will also have nights with sound from so-called "white noise machines". These generate a low-level and continuous noise that may improve sleep by "masking" the traffic noises that would otherwise disturb sleep. We will also measure objective sleep quality and quantity, cognitive performance across multiple domains, self-reported sleep and wellbeing outcomes, and blood samples. Blood samples will be analysed to identify metabolic changes in different nights. Identifying biomarkers that are impacted by sleep fragmentation will establish the currently unclear pathways by which chronic noise exposure at night can lead to the development of diseases in the long term, especially cardiometabolic disorders.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the characteristic of sleep disturbance in allergic and non-allergic rhinitis in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. A cross sectional analytic descriptive study with consecutive sampling was performed. A total of 22 chronic rhinitis patients, consisted of 11 allergic and 11 non-allergic rhinitis were evaluated of their sleep disturbance's characteristics.
Humans spend a third of their time on sleep. Therefore, maintaining a deep, stable and consistent sleep is very important for a good quality of life. Aging is often related to a decrease in the ability to fall asleep and maintain sleep. Getting older, various factors can worsen the normal sleep process, which is essential for restoring function and body function. Aging-related diseases, life changes, or own aging can disrupt the normal sleep cycle and seriously affect healthy aging. For example, the circadian rhythm and sleep consolidation will be broken with normal aging. These changes may lead to aging, or become part of the risk factors for diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. How to avoid disability and dementia by improving the quality of sleep to make the elderly healthy and aging, will bring huge effects to the economy, society, and health care. From this plan, investigators will participate in an integrated plan (main plan)-" Integrating Systematic Data of Geriatric Medicine to Explore the Solution for Healthy Aging". In the main plan, 500 subjects will be enrolled. All subjects consent to provide medical record and will be tested for sarcopenia, including body composition, 4-meter walk, handgrip strength. The subjects screened sleep-affected subjects. It is estimated that 250 people will be invited for home sleep testing, such as continuous positive pressure breathing aid (CPAP) for sleep apnea (OSA) (approximately 120 subjects). For non-OSA and non-periodic limb movement disorder (PLMS) sleep problems, take a phototherapy program (about 60 subjects). The following goals are expected to be achieved: 1. Link to the main project to explore the correlation between common sleep disorders in the elderly and blood pressure, cognition, sarcopenia, metabolomics or intestinal microbiome 2. To verify the prognosis of sleep apnea and sleep disorders after intervention.
Sleep disturbance is risk factor for incident depression and remains a leading concern for physician burnout; as sleep plays a fundamental role in mood, stress, and cognition, including medical errors. The goal of this project is to implement an evidence-based digital therapy to treat insomnia (Sleep Healthy Using the Internet (SHUTi) for physicians to improve both sleep and mental health outcomes. The investigators will evaluate both process and individual-outcome metrics to define success. Individual level outcomes will be assessed pre-program (at start of participation), week 8 (end-program), and week 16 (2-month follow-up). This information will enable us to design larger future implementation initiatives for the healthy sleep program across the hospital, should the pilot be successful.
The concern about the quality of sleep of university students, future professionals of the world, must be crucial for the scientific community, as well as for university professors and professors. Innovative electrotherapy technologies such as non-invasive neuromodulation NESA are demonstrating effects on improving sleep quality, concentration and stress, so the objective of this project is to carry out a triple-blind randomized clinical trial with first-year science science students. health from three universities. The design is made up of an intervention group with NESA technology and another control group in each of the centers. Where the quality of sleep, perception of stress, cortisol levels in saliva and academic performance will be analyzed. This multicenter project hopes to demonstrate that non-invasive NESA neuromodulation can be a preventive treatment for the maintenance of sleep quality during stressful periods such as university exams, as well as being able to modulate perceived stress and translate into an improvement in student performance.
This study aims to investigate the effect of 50 mg and 100 mg per day oral CBD product versus a placebo over 8 weeks on insomnia severity in adults aged 18-65 years old with insomnia symptoms.
