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 management of insomnia includes, as a first step, a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity at appropriate times, nutritional monitoring, reduced consumption of stimulants, bedtime and wake-up times that do not vary between weekdays and weekends, banning screens at least two hours before bedtime, etc. If all these conditions are met and insomnia persists, additionnal therapies may be offered. URGOTECH has developed a connected headband allowing to practice neurofeedback in complete autonomy in subjects reporting dissatisfaction with the quality of their sleep.
Polar stays expose people to extreme climate, isolation and confinement. The combination of these factors induces psychological disorders, sleep disorders, immune and endocrine disturbances, and deficiencies. In the TAAF, (French Southern and Antarctic Lands) two types of population coexist: winter residents, exposed to these stressors over long periods, and country people, who benefit from milder conditions and only make short stays. In this context, the investigators have decided to set up this cohort study with the objective of comparing the state of health of the winterers of the TAAF from 2012 to 2017 with that of the country people of the same period, before their stay, during and the year following their return.
Sleep is a physiological function that plays an essential role in many somatic, cognitive and psychological processes. Although there are many criteria for the effectiveness of sleep, its quantity is unanimously recognized as a major determinant of health. Too little sleep is associated with an increase in metabolic, cardiovascular and accidental morbidity and mortality caused by drowsiness while traveling or at work. Today, the time devoted to sleep is in competition with the time devoted to work, transport or new technologies, in a professional or recreational context. Faced with the public health issues thus raised, research has highlighted the interest of studying the relationships between sleep time and socio-demographic factors, beyond the mere involvement of sleep pathologies. However, among these pathologies, the role of insomnia is not negligible: it is in fact the most frequent sleep disorder (16% of French people in 2010) and represents an important source of involuntary reduction in sleep time, likely to increase inappropriate sleepiness during periods of wakefulness, in the context of activities sometimes involving safety. Flight crews are exposed to specific operational constraints, both in civilian and military environments, which may compromise the sleep recovery function (operational fatigue, extended work amplitudes, repetition of jet lag, etc.). These constraints, which are conducive to compromising the required levels of alertness and cognitive performance, are also at risk of cardiometabolic complications. They therefore raise the issue of risk control and maintenance of air safety. The issue of fatigue in pilots remains an essential issue for the safety of flight operations. Several determinants of operational fatigue in air transport have been identified, such as irregular sleep schedules, large, irregular, and sometimes unpredictable activity amplitudes, sleep debt, night flying, and circadian disruptions related to multiple and repeated time zone changes. While these factors have to deal with rules within airlines that are more often based on "work/rest" than "sleep/wake", current legislation and regulations in the aviation industry are now moving towards scientific approaches to fatigue management in commercial aviation, emphasizing the importance of sleep and taking circadian rhythms into account. In the wake of recent work carried out in the general French population, the conduct of a specific study on sleep time, prevalence and factors associated with chronic insomnia and the complaint of drowsiness among aircrew appears relevant. Due to the specific operational constraints mentioned above, chronic insomnia and sleep debt can be assumed to be more frequent among sailors than in the general population. A better consideration of certain sleep disorders in professional aircrew could allow the adaptation of prevention strategies or countermeasures aimed at optimizing the control of risks with regard to flight safety.
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.
In the past few years, research has provided evidence for a possibility of dampening immune system by one's will after undergoing a specific training program. Aim of this study was to verity the efficacy in affecting both mind and body by assessing psoriasis activity and psychological functioning. Among the members of both of the groups intensity of skin lesions and pruritus were assessed, consultation regarding treatment took place and multiple questionnaires regarding sleep quality, mindfulness and depressive symptoms were distributed. Blood samples were collected to asses intensity of inflammation, including interleukins.
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).
