Filter by:Objective: To determine the effect of breathing exercises on certain physiological parameters, sleep quality and vitality in the elderly. Method: In this randomized controlled, experimental study, pre and post tests were applied to 26 elderly participants in the intervention group and to 25 elderly patients in the control group. The intervention group underwent breathing exercises for 30 minutes at the same time of the day, three days a week for three months (pursed-lip breathing exercise, deep breathing exercise, coughing exercise), while no such exercise was carried out by the control group. Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, the Subjective Vitality Scale, spirometer, sphygmomanometer and pulse oximetry device measurements were used for the collection of data. The data was evaluated with an independent sample t-test, a paired-sample t-test and a two-way repeated measures ANOVA.
This study will compare eating behaviors and measures of hunger and fullness between day and night workers in order to better understand why night workers are at increased risk for obesity and related diseases.
Sleep disorders commonly co-occur with psychiatric disorders. Sleep disorders are often treated with medication or not at all in psychiatric care, although there exist a plethora of documentation of the effectiveness of sleep interventions. There is also an increase in studies showing effectiveness of sleep-interventions when the sleep disorder co-occurs with psychiatric illness. The most common and best documented treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi). There is a great gap in the knowledge on how sleep disorders can be treated effectively in psychiatric care. In this project the investigators therefore seek to investigate the effect of non-pharmacological, group-based treatment in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) where sleep and psychiatric symptoms are the primary outcome measures. CBTi comprise of sleep education, sleep restriction, stimulus control and cognitive restructuring of dysfunctional thoughts about sleep.
An Open Label Study to Evaluate Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of a Once Nightly Formulation of Sodium Oxybate for Extended-Release Oral Suspension (FT218) and the ability to switch from twice-nightly immediate release sodium oxybate to once-nightly FT218 for the Treatment of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and Cataplexy in Subjects with Narcolepsy
There is a long-standing assumption that physical activity is an effective, non-pharmacological approach to improving sleep quality and quantity. However, objective and reliable data on this relationship are scarce for children with developmental disabilities. Parent burnout in this population is high and there are many barriers to engagement with such interventions. This study aims to understand the feasibility of providing an exercise intervention for this population, and gathering parental views on the impact of such an intervention. Depending on the outcome of this feasibilty study, larger scale interventions may be planned to further examine the impact of such an intervention.
Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of a warm foot bath on sleep quality and comfort level among elderly individuals with sleep problems. Design and methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 217 elderly individual who stayed in two nursing homes. The sample consisted of 60 elderly individuals with sleep problem who were randomly assigned to either the warm foot bath group (n= 30) and control group (n=30).The study was completed with 60 elderly individuals. The primary outcome was an information questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the General Comfort Questionnaire and the Numerical Rating Scale.
The Obstructive Sleep Apnea is characterized by obstruction of the upper airway during sleep (for at least 10 sec), with repeated breathing pauses, accompanied by oxygen desaturation in the blood and by sleep interruption with repeated arousals. The investigators hypothesized that good sleep hygiene, the execution of respiratory rehabilitation exercises, with specific myofascial exercises on the muscles that are compromised in the Obstructive Sleep Apnea, can improve the patient's clinical outcome and quality of life. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of respiratory rehabilitation with myo-functional exercises in mild obstructive sleep.
Investigators aim to collaborate with the division of neurology, ophthalmology and dermatology at the Kaohsiung Medical University, and make a new phototherapy for participants suffering from dementia, sleep disorder, mild cognitive dysfunction by using IoT and data science on big health and environmental data.
The current project is a prospective, multicentric cohort study aiming at a multidisciplinary assessment (pulmonary, cardiometabolic, sleep and mental health) of the consequences of infection by SARS-CoV-2, 3 months after the diagnosis in order to better characterize these complications. 400 patients with a positive diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 will be included in the study 3 months after their diagnosis: They will be followed at 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, as function of their after-effects discovered at 3 months and their evolution.
The main goal is to study the effects of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy with minimum guidance for comorbid sleep problems in alcohol use disorder, in routine addiction care.
