Active clinical trials for "Disorders of Excessive Somnolence"

The Healthy Patterns Study intervention is a home-based activity intervention designed to improve symptoms of circadian rhythm disorders (CRD) and quality of life (QOL) in home-dwelling persons with dementia. We will use a randomized two-group parallel design of 200 people with dementia and their caregivers assigned to intervention or attention control groups.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, blood distribution and effectiveness single ascending doses of JZP-386 compared to doses of Xyrem® and placebo.

The specific aims of this studyare to examine the 1) feasibility; 2) acceptability; and 3) preliminary efficacy of a tailored music intervention in home-dwelling older adults with dementia suffering from sleep disruption. Sixty dyads (older adults with dementia and their caregivers) will be randomized to receive the tailored music intervention immediately or following a four week delay.

The goal of the study is to test the role of telemedicine combined with humidification to check CPAP treatment during the first month to improve adherence and reduce unsolved side effects of therapy.

Open-pilot study for the efficacy and tolerability of modafinil on the fatigue and somnolence in cancer-patients.

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study of oral BTD-001 in adults with Idiopathic Hypersomnia.

Following screening visit and verification of inclusion/exclusion criteria and informed consent, participants will undergo a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) and polysomnogram (PSG) assessments to confirm eligibility for randomization. Participants will be randomized to two groups: placebo or XW10172 MR. The drug will be taken orally at bedtime for 6 weeks of treatment that will consist of a 2-week dose escalation/titration period and a 4-week stable-dose maintenance period. There will be a 2-week safety period following dosing.

This study intends to determine whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce arterial stiffness (measured by pulse wave velocity) in nonsleepy as well as in sleepy patients with obstructive sleep apnea .

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness and significantly impacts quality of life. People with narcolepsy demonstrate many potential barriers to being physically active, such as sleepiness and social isolation. Very little is known about how physical performance variables may be affected and influence disease experience in people with narcolepsy. This study aims to profile the physical fitness and physical functioning variables of adults with narcolepsy and to explore the relationship between physical variables, quality of life, symptom severity and disease experience in this cohort.

The project will improve scientific knowledge regarding a recent law applying potentially to every french driver. It will give for the first time an indication on the impact of alerting treatments on driving risks. It will reinforce the links between different research environments (sleep physiopathology, clinical research, cognitive neurosciences, driver's supervision, virtual reality, pharmacology) among the RESAT network (Réseau Eveil Sommeil Attention Transport). It will stimulate data acquisition in technological research to better understand the difference between real and simulated driving
