Filter by:Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome(OHS) is characterized by daytime hypercapnia and sleep-disordered breathing without other causes of hypoventilation in individuals with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2. It is stated that obesity is at the basis of the metabolic changes seen in individuals diagnosed with OHS. Also sedentary lifestyle habits, which are common in obese individuals, cause the risk of sarcopenia due to loss of muscle strength and mass, accumulation of adipose tissue in the body, and decreased exercise capacity. Reduced exercise capacity due to obesity has been shown in the literature to strongly interact with mortality risk. As a result of obesity and all this negative picture, impaired emotional state and decreased quality of life are observed in individuals. Simultaneously, sleep parameters are also negatively affected. In particular, increased adipose tissue leads to loss of muscle mass and strength, increased risk of sarcopenia and sleep-related problems. The association of obesity and sarcopenia is referred to as 'sarcopenic obesity'. Sarcopenic obesity is defined as the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity. The concept of sarcopenic obesity has recently taken its place in the literature. In particular, there are very few studies on its relationship with sleep parameters. However, while obesity is the basis of OHS, there are no studies on the presence and effects of sarcopenic obesity in this patient group. Based on this point, we aim to investigate the effects of sarcopenic obesity on sleep parameters, exercise capacity and quality of life in individuals with OHS.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to clarify the effect of bright light therapy on motor symptoms and sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Sleeping disorders are one of the most common menopausal symptoms, which seriously affect health and life quality of perimenopausal women. Menopausal hormone therapy is an effective treatment for menopausal symptoms, meanwhile, traditional Chinese medicine is also effective to some extent. This prospective randomized controlled study plan to compare the effects of different therapy regimens, including Tibolone and Xiangshao granules, on menopausal sleep disorders.
In order to assess the efficacy of the rhythm stabilization component of Health Rhythms' product in addressing sleep problems, investigators will recruit 128 outpatients over the age of 18, who are in early recovery (at least 2 weeks but no more than 6 months) from Alcohol Use Disorder (AUDIT-C score >4) and are experiencing sleep problems (ISI score >/= 10). 64 of these individuals will be randomly allocated to receive the full HealthRhythms package (sensing, trending, and stabilization) on their smartphones, while 64 will be asked to consent to sensing only. The duration of the study will be 14 weeks. The primary outcome measures of the RCT will be the ISI (Insomnia Severity Index). The investigators hypothesize that those receiving the full package will demonstrate lower levels of sleep disturbance.
Emergency Medicine (EM) requires 24/7 staff coverage resulting in healthcare workers' circadian rhythm disruptions that impair clinical and cognitive performance, physical recovery, and contribute to burnout. Multiple well-being surveys continue to highlight EM's challenges with sleep impairment due to the nature of the specialty. Despite evidence that lifestyle strategies effectively optimize performance and recovery, EM residents have variable lifestyle choices to prepare for overnight shifts. This prospective randomized controlled trial will examine whether a pre-shift personalized fatigue-mitigation lifestyle coaching (PFMLC) for EM residents on overnight shifts minimizes the effects of circadian rhythm disruptions on performance and recovery compared to those who receive one-time passive information on lifestyle practices. All participants will receive lifestyle strategy materials on fatigue mitigation to improve performance. Residents' self-reported and biometric data will inform PFMLC in the active arm. Performance and recovery from night shifts will be assessed by changes in sleep, heart rate variability, readiness/recovery, alertness, cognitive performance, and mental health using Fitbit and validated measures.
The current study is a prospective blinded study to collect data regarding the performance of the WP device in detecting sleep disorders. For that purpose, the WP with finger probe and chest sensor will be worn by the subject simultaneous to PSG in a sleep study at the clinical sleep lab. A PSG system will be recording the PSG data.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is common, deadly, and costly, and adults with insomnia represent a large group of people at elevated risk of developing CVD in the future. This clinical trial will determine if our updated insomnia treatment, called the SHADES intervention, improves CVD factors thought to explain how insomnia promotes CVD and if these improvements are due to positive changes in sleep factors. A total of 200 primary care patients with insomnia and CVD risk factors will be randomized to 6 months of the SHADES intervention (internet, telephonic, and/or face-to-face cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia) or the active control condition (sleep education/hygiene, symptom monitoring, and primary care for insomnia). Before and after treatment, participants will complete measurements of the CVD factors (systemic inflammation, autonomic dysfunction, metabolic dysregulation, proinflammatory gene expression) and the sleep factors (insomnia symptoms, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency). Researchers will test whether the SHADES intervention produces greater improvements in the CVD factors than the active control condition.
1. To determine sleep disturbance in different types of multiple sclerosis. 2. To asses the effect of sleep disturbance on quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis. 3. Correlation between sleep disturbance in different types of multiple sclerosis.
Introduction: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) performed with open heart surgery technique is a successful operation in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Incision of the sternum region, saphenous vein graft, sternal retraction, presence of chest and mediastinal tubes cause pain. The pain experienced by the patients, the complications related to the disease they have, and the stress they experience cause an increase in sleep problems. In addition, the increase in sympathetic activity after surgery and nursing care interventions also affect sleep quality. The literature reports that sleep disorders affect the working physiology of the heart in patients with cardiac disease, adversely affect heart health and affect postoperative recovery. In addition, since sleep disorders are also associated with cardiovascular diseases, it is of great importance to improve the sleep quality of this group of patients. One of the non-pharmacological nursing interventions is the eye patch. The eye patch is an instrument made of fabric, with an elastic strap, aimed at pure darkness by diverting all light from the patient's eyes. The main physiological purpose of using an eye patch is to adjust the hormones melatonin and cortisol, which affect the circadian rhythm. As a result, it is thought that the eye patch will prevent patients from being exposed to excessive light in the hospital environment, the regulation of hormones and sleep quality will improve, and the pain will decrease. Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of eye patch applied to patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery on sleep quality and pain. Method: Individuals who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery in accordance with the sampling inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups by block randomization. After determining the groups, each patient in the experimental and control groups, whose written consent was obtained, will have the first researcher fill out the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire and Numerical Pain Scale on the morning of the first night they spent in the clinic. Patients in the experimental group will be given the "standard care" and "eye patch" application in the clinic on their 2nd and 3rd nights in the clinic. The patients in the control group will only be provided with the "standard care" in the clinic on their 2nd and 3rd nights in the clinic. Patients in both groups will be asked to fill out the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire and Numerical Pain Scale forms in the mornings of the 2nd and 3rd nights.
Although patients with cancers are prone to insomnia, especially waiting for surgery during hospitalization, and insomnia promotes acute respiratory infections (ARI) and is not conducive to the postoperative quality of recovery (QoR), evidence that preoperative insomnia delays postoperative recovery is still lacking. In this prospective observational study, we enroll 175 non-elderly subjects with abdominal cancer who will undergo non-emergency cancer resection surgery. Insomnia Severity Index scale (ISI) is used to assess the insomnia severity during hospitalization while awaiting surgery. The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) is used to evaluate the overall recovery after surgery. Meanwhile, wrist watch and sleep diary are used to record sleep. The aim of the study is to investigate the association between preoperative insomnia and postoperative QoR, the association between preoperative insomnia and postoperative ARI,and to describe preoperative sleep traits.
