Filter by: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.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term health of United States military service members who were injured during combat. The main questions it aims to examine are: - How does the severity of a combat injury impact 1) cardiovascular risk, 2) the sympathetic nervous system and arrhythmias, 3) blood pressure, and 4) sleep disorders? - Are self-reported mental health symptoms related to sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, sleep disorders, and cardiovascular risk in combat-injured service members? This study will recruit from a sample of participants in another research study called the Wounded Warrior Recovery Project (WWRP) who 1) agreed to be contacted about future research studies and 2) have a record of a combat injury within the Injury Severity Score ranges required for this study. Participants will: - Provide demographic information and a medical history review - Visit a local laboratory for biometrics measurements and to provide blood and urine samples - Wear an ambulatory electrocardiogram monitor for 24 hours per day for seven consecutive days - Wear a home sleep test monitoring device for one night - Wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 consecutive hours on the day after the home sleep test At the end of the study, participants will be asked to mail back the home sleep test and blood pressure monitors. Prepaid package materials will be provided.
This study is a study that qualifies as "other clinical investigation" under Art. 82 MDR and §47 Abs. 3 MPDG with a CE-marked device that aims to demonstrate that the physiological signals from the Onera STS system are substantially equivalent to physiological systems recorded by traditional PSG systems. Furthermore, the study aims to identify the proportion of users who can successfully perform an overnight Onera STS study in an unsupervised home setting. The Onera STS will be used within its approved indication, and the study participants will not be subjected to additional invasive or burdensome procedures.
The purposes of this study are a) to investigate the effect of a personalized and computerized cognitive stimulation program on sleep quality, cognitive performance, and quality of life; and b) verify if cognitive stimulation can be used as a non-pharmacological alternative to improve the quality of sleep in individuals who have insomnia.
With increasing awareness about physician fatigue and its effect on patient safety, residency programs are increasingly transitioning to a night float call system. In other industries, multiple night shifts in a row can cause a disruption in the circadian rhythm, sleep debt, shift work disorder, that is related to chronic medical conditions such as obesity and cardiovascular disease. We will evaluate the effect of different call structures on resident activity, sleep and self reported measures of wellness using a commercially available Fitbit device.
Sleep disordered breathing is a common and serious health problem. According to epidemiological data, it may affect about 20% of adult population. The majority is not aware of the disease. The most common sleep disorder is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The essence of OSA are the episodes of airway obstruction repeated many times during sleep, as a result of which the level of partial oxygen in the blood decreases. Apnea episodes end up waking from sleep, causing sleep fragmentation, deep sleep and REM deficiency. Frequent complications of OSA are hypertension, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, coronary artery disease and pulmonary hypertension. Comorbid Insomnia and Sleep Apnea (COMISA) is a highly prevalent and debilitating disorder that causes additional disturbances in sleep, daytime functioning, and quality of life for patients, and is a significant diagnostic and therapeutic problem for clinicians. Although the presence of COMISA was first noticed by Christian Guilleminault and his colleagues in 1973, it received very little research attention for almost three decades. There is still lack ofclinical trials concerning this topic. An additional problem in apnea patients is the increased incidence of bruxism. Bruxism is associated with increased masticatory muscle activity during sleep, which may be phased or tonic. It is estimated that the incidence of bruxism in the adult population is 13%. The most common symptoms of bruxism include: pathological wear and tooth sensitivity, damage to the periodontium and oral mucosa, muscle pain in the stomatognathic system, headaches and damage to prosthetic restorations. However, the symptoms of bruxism can go unnoticed for a long time, leaving patients often unaware of the problem. The aim of this project is: 1. to determine the prevalence of sleep bruxism in COMISA, OSA and insomnia, 2. to examine of arousals (type, frequency) in COMISA, OSA and insomnia, 3. to investigate the relationship between arousals and blood pressure values and variability, arrhythmias, sinus rhythm variability, vascular endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular risk in COMISA, OSA and insomnia.
The study by giving a sleep disorder Parkinson's disease patients with different patterns of ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation or sham stimulation, scale for assessment of the patients were observed, hematology and imaging changes before and after therapy, clear ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation for sleep disorder Parkinson's disease treatment, to explore the mechanism of action, compare the difference between different modes.
Due to the COVID-19 global health pandemic, many people are likely experiencing increased stress. The well-being of physicians in training may be significantly impacted by this pandemic. Meditation is a self-management strategy that can be utilized by anyone to assist with the management of stress. Meditation mobile applications, such as the "Calm" app, can be used to help manage stress, especially during this uncertain time. The investigators propose a prospective evaluation of perceived stress, anxiety, burnout and sleep disturbance in the house staff at Banner University Medical Center Phoenix, with the use of the mobile meditation app, "Calm." The investigatros additionally want to evaluate the feasibility of using the mobile app, including looking at adherence to use of the app and physician satisfaction with use of the app.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if oral melatonin reduces postoperative sleep 18 disturbances and narcotics use. We will enroll patients undergoing primary arthroscopic rotator 19 cuff repair (ARCR) at the Rothman Institute.
Bruxism is a common phenomenon. It is estimated that its prevalence in the adult population is 8-31%. Bruxism occurring during sleep is the activity of the masticatory muscles that appear during sleep, which can be rhythmic or phased and is not a movement disorder or sleep disorder in healthy people. It is currently believed that bruxism should not be considered a disorder. In healthy people, it is treated rather as behavior, which may be a risk factor for pathological clinical implications or a protective factor in the presence of other disease entities. The most common symptoms of bruxism include: pathological wear and tooth sensitivity, periodontal and oral mucosa damage, myalgia in the stomatognathic system, headache and prosthetic restoration damage. However, due to nocturnal occurrence, bruxism symptoms may go unnoticed for a long time, which means that patients are often unaware of this behavior. The etiology of bruxism is multifactorial and not fully understood. It is currently believed that it can be caused by genetic, psychological and exogenous factors. Due to the unclear etiology of bruxism, it is so important to conduct research that allows making a certain diagnosis and finding the causes of this phenomenon
