Filter by:Functional dyspepsia(FD) is most common in functional gastrointestinal disorders whose rick factors include sleep disturbances. The medication treatment for functional dyspepsia with sleep disturbances has disadvantages such as addiction and withdrawal symptoms. Transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation(taVNS) is a new therapeutic method to improve dyspepsia and sleep. Study on taSNS for FD with sleep disturbances has not yet been explored.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to establish the effectiveness of a culturally targeted and individually tailored behavioral intervention to promote maternal glucose metabolism in African American women.
This project is planned to collect non-dialysis adults who suffer from sleep and tinnitus disorders and refuse to take sleeping medicines in our hospital by random assignment and double-blind method. 120 adults were divided into 3 groups. 1. Control group: receive placebo treatment, once a day, four pills each time. 2. Herbal compound low-dose group: once a day, two herbal compound capsules and two placebos each time. The total amount of herbal compound capsules is 557 mg. 3. Herbal compound high-dose group: once a day, four capsules each time. The total amount of herbal compound capsules is 1114 mg. All subjects received health questionnaire, sleep questionnaire and tinnitus questionnaire before the start of the test At the end of the treatment(3 months), the health questionnaire, sleep questionnaire, and tinnitus questionnaire were accepted.
RATIONALE of the project. Adults with Down syndrome (DS) present severe sleep disorders that are under recognized by caregivers. Aging in DS population increases the prevalence of both Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Alzheimer´s disease (AD) dementia at much higher rates than in the general population. AD increases the risk of sleep disturbances and OSA, which in turn worsen cognitive performance and behavioral function. Our hypothesis is that adults with DS and AD dementia will present a higher prevalence of sleep disorders (sleep disruption, sleep circadian disorders and OSA) than in DS without dementia. There are no data evaluating nocturnal sleep in adults with DS with AD dementia. The main objective is to evaluate the prevalence of sleep disturbances in adult subjects with DS and AD dementia, by means of subjective and objectives sleep measures.
Among health problems of peri-menopausal women, sleep disturbances is very common complaint. The aim of this study is to realize the body constitution of the peri-menopausal women with sleep disturbance; and to evaluate the effects of Duo-in practice on this population to see if this intervention can decrease the dosage of hormone replacement therapy. Quasi-experimental design and convenient sampling are both adopted. Participants will be recruited from China Medical University, Tri-Service General Hospital, Taiwan Society of Health Promotion, and Dr. Chen's Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic. One hundred of participants who are willing to try Duo-in exercise to improve their sleep quality will be randomly assigned into experiment group and control group. The experiment group will practice Duo-in exercise 20 minutes every day for 2 months; while there is no intervention in the control group. Then, after 2 weeks, the participants of experiment and control group will crossover. The experiment group has no intervention, but the control group will practice Duo-in exercise for 2 months. Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (CPSQI), Body Constitution Questionnaire (BCQ), peri-menopausal disturbance scale, and peri-menopausal fatigue scale will be used in the assessment at each time point. According to previous experience, a total of 70 participants will completed the whole observation course. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) is applied to analyzed the repeated measurement of different time and groups. This study will provide the evidence for Duo-in exercise as complementary treatment for hormone replacement therapy for peri-menopausal women, and also for integration of Dao-in exercise into mainstream treatment for other patients with sleep disturbance.
Poor sleep quality and sleep disturbances are common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and are associated with an increased risk of co-morbidity and all-cause mortality.Few studies have examined the possibilities of improving sleep in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and the focus has primarily been on medical treatment. Aerobic exercise training constitutes a potentially promising, non-pharmacological alternative to improve sleep. This study is a randomized controlled trial of 44 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The aim is to investigate the effect of a moderate-to-high intensity aerobic interval training intervention on sleep quality and sleep disturbances in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The primary hypothesis is that moderate-to high intensity aerobic exercise will improve objective measured sleep quality and sleep disturbances. The secondary hypothesis is that the intervention may improve fitness, subjective sleep quality and physical function as well as reduce pain, fatigue, depressive symptoms and improve health-related quality of life.
background: The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) presents many disturbances multidimensional affect holistically to people who have the disease and current management of fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances present in this clinical entity is unsatisfactory. Hypothesis: The hypothesis of this essay is to contrast that acupuncture is more useful than placebo. The investigators suggest the use of a clinical study protocol (PEC), randomized, placebo-controlled, acupuncture technique, aimed at increasing the patient's sense of well-being, relief of pain and stiffness, acupuncture is effective to reduce fatigue, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders in patients diagnosed with CFS.
Tailored light treatment will increase sleep efficiency, reduce depression and reduce agitation scores in those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental disorders in children, affecting approximately 1 out of every 10 children and adolescents. Symptoms of anxiety disorders may include excessive fear/anxiety/worry, somatic complaints such as headaches and muscle aches, and impaired social and family relationships. Some children with anxiety also experience sleep problems, however, little is known about the sleep patterns of anxious children. The purpose of the study, conducted at Children's National Medical Center, is to examine the sleep characteristics of children with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) compared to a control group of children without GAD to see how sleep behaviors and daytime behaviors are related.
