Filter by:The purpose of the study is to compare vascular and functional neurological changes of acupuncture in patients with Parkinson's Disease and Sleep Disorders. In the randomized controlled clinical trial study, patients meeting the criteria for inclusion will be randomly enrolled and divided into two groups in a 1:1 ratio: the acupuncture group and the sham acupuncture group. The intervention is going to be executed using the acupoints GV14（Dazhui）and GB20 (Fengchi).The acupuncture needles will be inserted to a depth of 0.8 to 1 cm using GV14（Dazhui）and GB20 (Fengchi) in the acupuncture group. The sham acupuncture group's needles will be inserted to a depth of 0.1 to 0.2 cm with nonacupuncture points located 0.5 cm in lateral to the real acupoint or to the right for midline points.During the study, researchers will observe changes in cerebral blood vessels and neuroimaging before and after acupuncture in the two groups. Using multimodal fusion advanced vascular-neuronal imaging techniques could evaluate the effect of acupuncture on brain blood vessels and function in patients with Parkinson's disease and Sleep Disorders and provide an objective neuroimaging basis for assessing the effectiveness of acupuncture.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common form of sleep disordered breathing characterized by partial or complete upper airway obstructions during sleep. OSA is associated with major comorbidities and perioperative complications. These complications are caused not only by the OSA itself, but also by exacerbations of this syndrome during the perioperative period (1). Benzodiazepines, volatile anesthetics and opioids may lead to lower hypoxia and hypercapnia sensitivity and may cause respiratory depression (2-5). Therefore, preference of neuraxial blockades and avoidance of opioids has been suggested for patients with OSA (6). However, there is still lack of evidence to evaluate the effects of various anesthesia procedures on OSA (6,7). We hypothesize different anesthetic procedures will have different effect on OSA exacerbations in the postoperative period. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to compare the number of sleep disordered breathing episodes in the postoperative period in patients with different anesthetic procedures.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic type of eczema affecting approximately 10% of adults and 12% of children in the US. The intense itching (pruritus) associated with AD can be significantly disruptive to sleep and quality of life for both the patients and their caregivers. AD is challenging to describe and measure. The purpose of this study is to see if we can reliably measure how much people with AD scratch and how scratching interferes with sleep and quality of life by using digital sensors, sleep studies and patient-reported information.
This study evaluates the effect of melatonin 4 mg on circadian rhythm and visual function of patients with diabetes mellitus. Half of the patients will receive melatonin (arm-1) and the other half will receive placebo (arm-2), both groups in 3 weeks. After a week of washout, the patients will cross over to the other treatment arm.
The study aims to develop and test a user-friendly, accessible approach to sleep assessment which can function as an initial "triage" of targeted sleep conditions, such as insomnia, insufficient sleep syndrome, sleep apnea syndromes/snoring, and circadian sleep/wake disorders, within the clinical and community population. Specifically, this study will test the validity and reliability of a self-rated, digitized, and cost-effective diagnostic measure with sufficient sensitivity to accurately assess/diagnose common sleep conditions and/or risk for these conditions. Such an approach, would allow for faster assessment of common sleep conditions and disorders, and provide clinical knowledge to the individual, the physician, and if required insurance companies, as to those persons who need more immediate attention or treatment for their sleep condition.
This study evaluates the effect of different dietary conducts in the nocturnal period on the postprandial metabolism and food perceptions of night workers of the Hospital of Clinics of Uberlândia, Federal University of Uberlândia.
Shift work deeply impacts on temporal organization leading to a circadian desynchronization, which translates into a worsening of the sleep quality and work ability during waking hours. Furthermore, also the fine motor control skills and the subjective mood profile could undergo modifications in relation to the acquired sleep debt. The misalignment between working time and physiological/behavioral functions could have negative influences on the levels of spontaneous daily activity, with possible alteration of the activity-rest rhythm of the worker, especially in clinics. In relation to the participants' chronotype, the aim of this project will be to evaluate the effect of irregular working hours (shift work) on (i) the sleep quality, (ii) the circadian rhythm of activity levels and, (iii) the motor control. These assessments will help to identify the shift type with less impact on the health status in a nurse cohort.
Aim: Evaluate the influence of exercise, in different times, on quality of life, sleep and clinical parameters in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). Methods: Intervention study, prospective.
A longitudinal study to examine the relationships among sleep characteristics, stress, and child behavior problems in a community sample of toddlers (12-24 months- ages 12-15 months at enrollment) living in socioeconomically disadvantaged homes
This is a randomized control trial to test the effectiveness of therapeutic massage on the sleep quality and the stress levels in women that have completed their treatment for breast cancer.
