Active clinical trials for "Sleep Wake Disorders"

This study evaluates the effect of melatonin 4 mg on circadian rhythm and visual function of patients with diabetes mellitus. Half of the patients will receive melatonin (arm-1) and the other half will receive placebo (arm-2), both groups in 3 weeks. After a week of washout, the patients will cross over to the other treatment arm.

The investigators will conduct acupuncture for participants with chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS). Firstly the investigators aim to figure out the characteristic of sleep structure of CFS and the changes caused by acupuncture. Secondly the investigators seek to investigate the characteristic of sleep-wake rhythm, slow wave sleep(SWS)-rapid eye movement(REM)sleep rhythm, and REM sleep rhythm of CFS and the readjusting of acupuncture for it. Thirdly the investigators want to know the efficacy of acupuncture for relieving the fatigue, reducing accompanying symptoms and for improving the life quality of CFS.

Fibromyalgia is a condition of chronic widespread pain, sleep disturbance and fatigue. Most of the patients with fibromyalgia complain of either non-restorative sleep or complaints of disturbed sleep due to pain. The study aimed at examining the effects of milnacipran on sleep disturbance in patients with fibromyalgia. The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, two way crossover polysomnography (PSG) study to explore the effects of milnacipran on sleep disturbance. Patients received either milnacipran 50 mg twice a day (BID) or matching placebo.

The goal of this project is to determine whether the sleep and circadian rhythms of critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation can be improved through practical strategies that can be employed at the bedside.

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects Exposure, Rescripting, and Relaxation Therapy (ERRT) has on nightmares and associated problems in veterans.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether prazosin will: reduce the incidence of nightmares and sleep disturbance increase functioning and sense of well being in combat-trauma exposed Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) Veterans.

To investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of treatment with esmirtazapine (Org 50081, SCH 900265, MK-8265) compared to placebo, in participants with chronic primary insomnia. Primary efficacy variable is Total Sleep Time (TST).

The purpose of this study is to determine the phase-advance in circadian rhythms in healthy adults subjects taking ramelteon, once daily (QD).

The present study will investigate in humans the enzyme inhibition effects of SB-649868 on CYP3A4, using Simvastatin and Atorvastatin as CYP3A4 probe substrates, administered as single doses: alone, and on two different occasions after repeat doses of SB-649868, at the same time as SB-649868 and 2h before SB-649868.

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of eszopiclone on daytime sleep and overnight wakefulness in shift workers.
