Active clinical trials for "Disorders of Excessive Somnolence"

Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) affects 2-3% of children and may lead to problems with nighttime sleep and daytime behavior, learning, sleepiness, and mood. Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is the second most common surgical procedure in children. It is now performed more often for suspected SDB than for any other indication. However, recent studies indicate that many if not most children still have SDB after AT, and many still have learning or behavioral problems associated with SDB. The goals of this study are: (1) to assess the extent that behavior, cognition, and sleepiness in children can improve with Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment after AT, and (2) to identify which patients stand to gain most from post-operative assessment and treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether MYODM (formulated composition containing Theobroma cacao supplemented with caffeine (caffeine/theobromine ratio1/1.85, w/w) is effective in the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness due to myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and improves the quality of life of these patients.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the drug ABT-652 given once daily to people with excessive daytime sleepiness. Subjects will be randomized to either ABT-652 or placebo in three sequential dosing groups for a 1-week treatment period.

The objective of this trial is to define the minimum effective dose of BF 2.649 between 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg or 40 mg versus placebo in reducing the Excessive Daytime Sleepiness of Parkinson's disease patients

To compare the efficacy of BF2.649 over placebo (12 week Double-Blind Phase) and assess the long term safety and the efficacy maintenance(9 months Open-Label Extension Phase) of BF2.649 in the improvement of excessive daytime sleepiness in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether treatment with armodafinil will provide improvements in prefrontal cortical activation in patients with OSAHS (Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome) who have residual sleepiness despite receiving nCPAP therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects from a mandibular repositioning appliance on obstructive sleep apneas, symptoms, blood pressure and markers of stress, inflammation and cardiovascular health in patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome and in patients with symptomatic snoring.

Specific Aim: To prove our hypothesis that in severe OSA patients without daytime sleepiness, CPAP worked as effectively as in severe OSA patients with daytime sleepiness. Using sham CPAP as the optimal placebo, we conduct a randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial to assess the CPAP effect in severe OSA patients without daytime sleepiness. To establish a model to predict the CPAP effect We use the parameters of five aspects, including changes of polysomnographic parameters, improvement of sleepiness, fatigue and QOL, sympathetic activity, inflammatory mediators and metabolism, to establish a model to predict CPAP effect.

The primary objective is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy. Both of the subjective and objective sleepiness of the patients were assessed in the experiment by repeat measures.

The purpose of study JZP110-405 is to determine whether solriamfetol is effective at improving cognitive function in participants with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) plus impaired cognitive function.
