Active clinical trials for "Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders"

The object of this study is to determine whether feedback added to a self-help protocol for insomnia enhances the treatment effect. In this study all participants receive an online self-help cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention consisting of information (psycho-education) about sleep and cognitive-behavioural exercises. Adult persons with insomnia will be invited via a popular scientific website to fill out online questionnaires. Half of the participants will received by e-mail from a therapist, the other half of the participants will do the intervention without feedback. Participants will be measured 4, 16, and 40 weeks after intervention with the same questionnaires.

In this open-label, pilot study the investigators will be assessing gabapentin's effects on insomnia and other concussion-related symptoms in patients with a recent concussion experiencing insomnia.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are characterized by difficulties in language, social communication, and repetitive and restricted behaviors. ASD affects as many as 1 in 90-150 children. Sleep issues/insomnia is very common in children with ASD (50-80%). Insomnia has a negative impact on both the developmental and behavioral function of the child and the quality of life for the family. Causes of insomnia in children with ASD are multifactorial and can be difficult to treat effectively. Low iron stores, as manifest by low serum ferritin levels, is also common in children with ASD. Both insomnia and low iron stores are associated with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and Periodic Limb Movement of Sleep (PLMS). Children with ASD often have difficulty communicating symptoms or tolerating Polysomnography (Sleep Study). This makes establishing a diagnosis of RLS or PLMS very difficult in children with ASD.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a novel intervention combining cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia plus a positive airway pressure (PAP) behavioral adherence program provided by allied health personnel for older Veterans with obstructive sleep apnea and comorbid insomnia improves nighttime sleep and PAP adherence.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Neu-P11, following the administration of multiple ascending oral doses (2, 5, 20, 50 mg or matching placebo) given nightly over 2 periods of 5 days to male and female subjects with primary insomnia. In addition, the study is aimed to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of Neu-P11 after 1 and 5 days of administration and to evaluate the hypnotic effects of Neu-P11 as well as the effects on mood and memory. The study hypothesis is that Neu-P11 is safe, tolerated and have significant sleep promoting effects.
