Filter by:The purpose of this study is to exploratorily evaluate the effect of vonoprazan 20 mg on sleep disturbance of patients with reflux esophagitis, who have heartburn and/or regurgitation and ≥ 6.0 in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) global score despite the maintenance treatment with PPI other than vonoprazan.
The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of strength training on sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in institutionalized adolescents (14 to 19 years of age). Thirty-one adolescents were randomly assigned in two sample groups: intervention group (IG, n = 19) and control group (CG, n = 12). Anthropometric measures were performed (height and body mass) and BMI was determined. Sleep quality and daytime sleepiness were assessed using the questionnaires, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESE), and total sleep time by accelerometer. Physical training (2x / week) was performed for 12 weeks. The OMNI Perceived Exertion Scale for Resistance Exercise (OMNI-RES) scale was used to control the effort intensity and the exercises followed an alternate pre-follow-up.
Measure pulse wave velocity stability in relation to time of day, day of the week, physical activity, sleep quality, stress levels and blood pressure.
Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) often report more fatigue and sleep disturbances compared to their healthy counterparts and compared to patients with other GI disorders. This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility of a Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBT-I) in Irritable Bowel Syndrome. 40 participants will be recruited; 20 will receive 4 weeks of BBT and 20 will be assigned to a wait list control group (WLC). The primary aim of the current project is to assess feasibility of administering BBT-I to a sample of patients with IBS. Because behavioral sleep treatment has not yet been studied in IBS or any other GI population, this project will provide information about treatment adherence, recruitment, and effect sizes. Secondary aims include evaluating the impact of BBT-I on sleep quality and IBS symptom severity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Zolpidem and Zoplicone are efective in the treatment of sleep disorders in Alzheimer's disease (AD)
Introduction: Patients with dementia may suffer from poor sleep quality. Disturbance in the metabolism melatonin may have a role in the pathogenesis of sleep-wake cycle alterations in dementia. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low dose exogenous melatonin in improving sleep quality. Design: A single-center randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study carried out on outpatients with dementia and sleep alterations. Participants: The investigators calculated a 40 individuals aged 65 years or over with a diagnosis of mild-moderate dementia (Clinical Dementia Rating 1-2). Intervention: Patients were randomized to receive either 5 mg of melatonin or placebo every night for 8 weeks. Measurements: The primary outcome was sleep quality according to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate effects of high rebound mattress toppers (i.e., airweave®) on sleep and sleep-related symptoms. The study will compare effects of use of high rebound mattress toppers versus use of low rebound mattress toppers on sleep and sleep related symptoms and core body temperature during diagnostic sleep studies.
In a prospective, observational study the investigators compared resistance values measured using the airway perturbation device (APD) to impulse oscillometry and spirometry. The investigators also created reference equations for normal APD resistance ranges using the data from clinically normal volunteers.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is treatment of choice for insomnia (CBT-i). Many patients in psychiatric care have sleep problems including insomnia, but are rarely given the choice to participate in CBT to improve their sleep. Patients with ADHD is a patient group with high levels of sleep difficulties. Sleep problems in this patient group can be both more general such as insomnia, but can also be related to the ADHD itself and to the use of ADHD medication. In a previous pilot study, the investigators developed a version of CBT-i that would target sleep problems in this population. The basis was CBT-i, but with more emphasis on sleep promoting behaviors specific to ADHD (e.g. appropriate timing of ADHD-medication), techniques that would also alleviate sleep phase problems, (e.g. the systematic use of light and darkness), and techniques to target more general sleep disturbing habits (e.g. not winding down before bed time), that are also common in patients with ADHD. This treatment was well tolerated and gave moderate effects on insomnia severity in the pilot study. In a naturalistic randomized controlled trial, the investigators now evaluate the effects of this psychological treatment on sleep and symptoms of ADHD in patients at the ADHD-clinics, Northern Stockholm Psychiatry, Sweden.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether night time eating that coincides with elevated endogenous melatonin impairs glucose tolerance, particularly in carriers of the MTNR1B risk allele.
