Filter by:Sleep of critically ill patients is highly disturbed with a high sleep fragmentation; patients spend most of their sleep in very short sleep episodes, lasting less than 10 minutes. Causes of theses sleep alterations are complex including environmental noise (alarms, beepers, conversations…), continuous light, nurse care and repetitive measures of vital parameters. Numerous studies have reported a relationship between severe sleep alterations and a prolonged weaning period and mortality. Improving sleep quality in critically ill patients is a major challenge to promote ICU patient's recovery. A very promising treatment is the application of a nocturnal " quiet-time " during which non urgent care, comfort care, systematic measures of vital parameters are delayed and clustered in order to limit room entries. However, " quiet time " procedures have failed to improve sleep quality to date. A miniaturized medical device recording one EEG channel and embedding an automated sleep scoring algorithm running in real-time was devised. This device (positioned on forehead, and continuously recording noise and light levels) indicates if the patient is awake or asleep using a tablet positioned at doorstep of the room, so that nurses know if patient is sleeping, without entering the room. Hypothesis proposes that applying sleep protection procedures (clustering cares, limiting room entries, reducing lights and noise, delaying non urgent care…) when patients are sleeping (= EEG-guided strategies) will increase patients sleep quality. This study will assess the effect of such device on sleep quality in ICU patients. This is a "before / after" design. The first group ("control group"), will be recorded but the sleep scoring will not be displayed by the tablet and patient will be expose to standard care. Then, procedure will be established collegially with nurses, nurses assistants and doctors. Then, the second group ("treated group") will be recorded with the device displaying the status of the patient (asleep/awake) and all caregivers will be asked to follow the established rules ("EEG-guided sleep protection rules")
The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of implementing photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, either localized or whole body, or dry float on sleep quality in middle-aged and elderly individuals experiencing sleep disturbance. As a secondary objective we will analyze the effect of the treatments on other indices of recovery (subjective and objective) via physiological monitoring in middle-aged and elderly individuals experiencing sleep disturbance. The study will have 2 phases: Phase 1 will last 5 weeks and will serve as baseline data collection of sleep quality. Phase 2 contains the experimental conditions and will last 13 weeks. Cognitive, behavioral, and physiological tests will be done at baseline (week 1) and at the end of experimental period (week 18). Sleep tracking data will be collected daily.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic represented a global public health problem that brought considerable consequences to the physical and mental health of the entire population. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of the brief behavioral intervention for insomnia by teleconsultation (BBII-TC) with the brief behavioral intervention for face-to-face insomnia (BBII) on symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, quality of sleep and life in a sample. of patients with long COVID. Methodology: Randomized controlled trial of equivalence with two groups in parallel (1:1) with repeated measures in pretreatment, posttreatment and follow-up at 3 months. The sample will be composed of male or female participants, in an age range of 18 to 40 years. The sample size was calculated, obtaining a total of 52 participants, the expected effect size is .40, with a significance of 0.05 and a probability error of 80%. Participants in the two groups will be assessed with the following instruments: Sleep Diary, Patient Health Questionnaire 9, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index , Insomnia Severity Index, SF-36 Health Survey and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7; at the beginning and end of treatment; and in a follow-up at 3 months. TData analysis: The Kolmogrov-Smirnov test will be carried out to determine the normality of the data, in case the distribution is parametric, an ANOVA of repeated measures will be carried out for the comparison of data between the pre, post and monitoring for each of the groups; in the event that the data does not have a normal distribution, the Friedman test will be performed for the comparison of repeated measures. Finally, to avoid bias in the data analysis, an external investigator will be asked to perform the randomization and data processing.
Sleep disturbances are prevalent in older patients with osteoarthrosis or fracture who are scheduled for knee or hip replacement surgery. The occurrence of sleep disturbances is associated with worse outcomes including increased risk of delirium and cardiac events, and worsened functional recovery. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic properties. It exerts sedative effects via activating the endogenous sleep pathways and produces a state like non-rapid eye movement sleep, which is different from opioid- and benzodiazepine-induced sedation. Esketamine is a N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor antagonist and has been used as an anesthetic and analgesic. Recent studies showed that low-dose esketamine has anti-depressive and sleep-promoting effects. The investigators suppose that mini-dose dexmedetomidine-esketamine combined infusion at night can improve perioperative sleep quality in patients scheduled for knee or hip replacement surgery.

Upper limb complications and sleep disturbances are prevalent, persistent, and serious health problems in women with breast cancer. However, these problems are underrecognized in clinical practice and thus have substantial adverse impacts on the health and quality of life of women with breast cancer. As yoga practices have been shown to improve physical and psychological health in people with cancer, such practices may also alleviate upper limb complications and sleep disturbances in women with breast cancer. However, there are few evidence-based guidelines or protocols to support the integration of yoga therapy into clinical practice for managing the health conditions of women with breast cancer. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of yoga therapy on improving the upper limb functions, sleep quality, and quality of life in women with breast cancer.
Many physical changes, as well as emotional disturbance, occur during pregnancy. In addition to external physical changes, some mental health problems such as depression, sleep and psychosis significantly increase during pregnancy. Aerobic exercises during pregnancy in primigravida females has a positive effect on depression and sleep as a primary and secondary preventive strategy. The study will be a randomized clinical trial and Setting will be children hospital and Mehmooda hospital sheikhupura. This study will be completed in ten months and convenient sampling technique will be used. Fourty two subjects will be assigned randomly by using lottery method into two groups. Group A will receive Aerobic exercises and Group B will receive Pilate exercises. Warm up (walking) and cool down period of ten minutes will be performed by both groups. Data will be collected from all participants at baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment by using CES-D and PSQI questionnaire. After assessing the data will be analyzed by using parametric or non-parametric test by using SPSS-25.
Family caregivers for persons with dementia report high levels of depression, stress, and burden. Caregivers' limited time, transportation constraints, and unpredictable schedules make on-line, self-guided interventions more accessible and scalable. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an established and effective in-person therapy, well-suited to the dementia care giving context where caregivers cannot minimize stress exposure, and report difficult thoughts and emotions. ACT for Caregivers is an on-line self-guided ACT intervention that showed effectiveness in a Stage I pilot (n=52) with participants reporting decreased depressive symptoms, stressful reactions to caring, and caregiver burden, and increased quality of life and positive aspects of caring (all p <.05). Learning from the pilot, the current Stage III intervention will shorten the program from 10 sessions to 6 sessions. The investigators introduce a wait list randomized control trial (RCT) design with fully longitudinal mixed methods to evaluate ACT for Caregivers. Data will be collected at pretest, post-test, and 6-weeks follow-up. Study aims are: 1) to evaluate ACT for Caregivers in a larger sample using an RCT, 2) to understand user experiences and the process of change by collecting short response data from all participants at all time points and interviewing a subset of participants in-depth at two time points, 3) to integrate quantitative and qualitative findings and examine areas of convergence and divergence. This project offers a promising prevention and intervention program to support family caregivers that is scalable, at low cost and with high impact.
The aim of our study is to determine the relationship between disease severity and sleep quality in CTS patients and to compare the findings with healthy controls.
Breast cancer patients often have sleep disturbances during the perioperative period. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effects. Previous studies showed that night-time low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion improved sleep quality. Esketamine is a N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor antagonist and has been used as an anesthetic and analgesic. Recent studies showed that low-dose esketamine has anti-depressive and sleep-promoting effects. The investigators suppose that low-dose dexmedetomidine-esketamine combined nasal administration at night can improve perioperative sleep quality in patients scheduled for breast cancer surgery.
