Filter by:Patients with chronic pain who use opioids appear to be at increased risk for breathing issues during sleep, termed sleep disordered breathing (SDB). Treatment of SDB often consists of use of a device during sleep that provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) via a mask interface. The goal of this study is to determine whether patients with chronic pain who use opioids and have SDB might benefit from the use of CPAP in terms of sleep quality, pain, quality of life, and other measures. In addition, the study will examine whether these individuals are able to adhere to CPAP, which will be important for future studies. Lastly, we anticipate that CPAP won't work for everyone due to the changes that opioids can cause in breathing patterns. We will examine how often CPAP is ineffective, and whether we can predict which individuals are least likely to resolve their SDB with CPAP.
Increased stress levels are a significant problem for many students and represent a risk factor for impaired mental and physical health as well as academic performance. Stress levels are particularly high during the preparation phase for major exams. There is good evidence that light therapy is an effective treatment option to improve mood in affective disorders. The present study aims at investigating the psychophysiological effects of a 3-week morning bright light exposure in reducing stress and stress-related problems in students preparing for major exams.
This study will investigate why some people have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and how the underlying cause may relate to OSA manifestations (including sleepiness and high blood pressure) and response to different therapeutic approaches (ie CPAP, eszopiclone, and supplemental oxygen). Understanding why someone has OSA could affect how best to treat that individual, but may also have an impact on what problems the disease might cause.
This investigation aims to explore sleeping habits in patients with haemophilia. These patients often suffer from joint pain, which leads to restricted physical activity. Further, many of the patients suffer from psychological strains, such as depression. Both depression and restricted physical activity can result in sleeping disorders. Thus it is aimed to find out which factors and comorbidities do play a role within sleeping habits in patients with haemophilia.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of hot and cold water application on complaints and sleep quality in pregnant women with restless legs syndrome (RLS). Pregnant women with a total of 90 RLS, including 30 people in each group, will be included in the study. The data of this study will be collected by Personal Information Form, RLS Diagnosis Criteria Questionnaire, RLS Severity Rating Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Post Application Follow-up Chart and Application Satisfaction Form. While hot and cold water is applied in the intervention groups in the study, no application other than routine maintenance and follow-up will be done to the control group.Data analysis obtained in the research will be performed in TURCOSA statistical software (Turcosa Analytics Ltd Co, Turkey, www.turcosa.com.tr).In comparisons, a value of p <0.05 will be considered statistically significant.In order to conduct the study, the necessary Academic Committee decision, Ethics Committee approval (September 09, 2020 and number 2020/445) and institutional permission were obtained. The individuals included in the study will be informed about the purpose of the research, their verbal consent will be obtained and the participant's informed consent form will be signed.
The investigators propose to test the use of pramipexole in patients being treated for Opioid Use Disorder to test its ability to reduce symptoms of both Restless Legs Syndrome and protracted opioid withdrawal and thereby promote initiation, engagement, and retention in treatment.
The main aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the occurrence of sleep disorders in patients undergoing thoracic surgery due to the preliminary diagnosis of lung cancer. Secondary aims include anxiety, depressive mood and functional outcomes before and 3 months after the intervention.
During the study, designated pressure points before and after one month of splint usage will be evaluated as possible indicators of two different splints efficacy.. Two study groups will be formed. The study will be conducted on patients reporting to the Dental Prosthetics Outpatient Clinic of PUM in Szczecin, Poland. Patients aged 18-65 years with probable bruxism, yet requiring splint therapy will be included in the study.
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is the most used technique for identifying the obstruction site associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This is due to the fact that it allows many patients to be examined in a daytime setting. This procedure uses sedative drugs to mimic natural sleep. However, associations with the site of upper airway (UA) collapse during natural sleep remain unclear. The aim of this explorative study is to identify UA collapse in patients with OSA using endoscopic techniques as well as flow shape characteristics and sound analyses during natural and drug-induced sleep. Furthermore, we want to optimize the measurement set-up of natural sleep endoscopy (NSE).
The main goal of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between fremanezumab's ability to prevent migraine and improved sleep quality in migraine patients (fremanezumab is a FDA-approved humanized CGRP monoclonal antibody for the treatment of migraine). This is a within-person study design that examines treatment effects (changes) using high-resolution assessments. To complete the study, each participant will be observed using daily assessments of migraine and sleep outcomes before treatment (baseline: 0 to 30 days), and at 1, 2, and 3 months after treatment (injection 1: days 31-60, injection 2: days 61-90, injection 3: days 91-120). In essence, this creates an interrupted time-series design where repeated interventions are introduced at fixed intervals.
