Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of functional cervical pillow on inpatients with neck discomfort.
This study is looking at the relationship between experiences during pregnancy and cardiovascular health 2 to 3½ years later. The investigators are recruiting women from the approximately 10,000 women who were enrolled and followed over the course of their first pregnancy in another study.
Outpatients that suffer from different anxiety disorders may have physical ailments that negatively affect daily life functioning and quality of life. LOF is a physical therapy approach focusing on the link between bodily and mental balance and through defined, but simple movements, patients are expected to learn how to cope and reduce health complaints. This study aims to investigate the short- and longterm effect of LOF compared to other standardized psychiatric treatments given in the clinic on levels of anxiety and depression, health related function and quality of life.
This randomized clinical trial studies survivorship care in reducing symptoms in young adult cancer survivors. Survivorship care programs that identify the needs of young adult cancer survivors and ways to support them through the years after treatment may help reduce symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, and distress, in young adult cancer survivors.
The objective of this study is to determine if a non-invasive technique, using an innovative analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) data, would allow for detection of respiratory events during sleep and discrimination between central and obstructive apnea. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common respiratory disturbance seen during sleep, with an estimated prevalence of 10 % in the population and is strongly associated with the development of cardiovascular disease. In patients with underlying cardiac disease, particularly in heart failure (HF), central respiratory events such as Cheyne-Stokes Respiration (CSR) are often seen during sleep. The presence of CSR is also associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Currently, the identification and classification of sleep related respiratory disturbances is performed during over-night sleep studies (polysomnography), which are labor-intensive, time-consuming, expensive and difficult for patients. Thus, the development of alternative techniques to assist in the identification of those events in the outpatient setting is of marked importance for widespread screening of sleep apnea.
The purpose of this study is to determine if either a targeted type of talk therapy (Phase I) or medication, Wellbutrin, (Phase II) improve sleep disturbance and/or fatigue in individuals with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
The aim of this study is to examine if repetitive computerized cognitive training improves working memory in patients who are on sick leave due to complex symptom disorders (chronic pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression and or sleep disorders), and whether effects of cognitive control training transfer to other tasks.
The investigators hypothesize that use of an educational story with pictures illustrating overnight sleep study procedure (also called polysomnography or PSG)accompanied by simple narrative will be a cost-effective, readily accepted intervention that will contribute to successful completion of sleep studies among children with disabilities. Children who have been referred for a clinical sleep study at Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) will be enrolled and randomized to either recieve usual care (discussion of polysomnography with referring clinicians) or educational story intervention. Both groups of participants will be asked to complete questionnaries before and after the sleep study. Set-up for the sleep study will be videotaped so that behavior of the child can be evaluated. The investigators will evaluate whether successful study completion differs between the two groups.
The purpose of this study is to investigate sleep disordered breathing, autonomic dysfunction, and post stroke depression in acute and chronic stroke patients. Furthermore, to explore the interaction between these comorbidities, and their relation to stroke aetiology.
This study is to determine whether sleep disorders contribute to impaired quality of life and mobility in patients with Bronchiolitis Obliterans syndrome and whether non invasive positive airways pressure ventilation can improve sleep, quality of life and mobility in this patient group.
