Active clinical trials for "Sleep Wake Disorders"

The objective of this project is to develop an effective, yet feasible strategy to extend school-night sleep duration of older adolescents.

The Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act (Millennium Act) of 1999 mandated the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide non-institutional long-term care to veterans. Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) is a key component of that spectrum of long-term care services. Veterans in ADHC commonly suffer from limited poor functioning, depression, cognitive problems and low quality of life. These factors can lead to continued deterioration in functioning, loss of independence, hospitalizations, nursing home placement and death. Sleep disruption is associated with depression, low quality of life, functional decline, nursing home placement, and death among older people. Sleep disturbance is common among ADHC patients, it is not addressed within routine clinical care, and treatment may be limited to medications. Studies show that untreated insomnia and medications for insomnia can increase risk of falls and other health events among older persons. On the other hand, non-medication treatments for sleep do not show these problems. These treatments have been shown to be effective in other studies. The goal of this study is to test non-medication treatments to improve sleep among older Veterans with insomnia in a VA ADHC program. The study design will facilitate translation into routine care and application in other similar VA programs.

Patients with ADHD often report staying up late on the computer, watching TV, or using other electronic devices, all strong emitters of blue light which may be contributing to the delayed sleep onset times seen in some of these patients. Evening use of polarizing glasses which filter out blue light may decrease the contribution of environmental light late at night to delayed bedtime. This is a treatment that Dr. Fargason uses when patients do not want to use sleep medication to help them fall asleep. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment by use of sleep diaries and sleep questionnaires.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of tasimelteon in male and female patients who suffer from Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether trazodone is effective in the treatment of sleep disorders in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

In this study, people who have symptoms of post polio will take oral glutathione supplements for three months. Their levels of fatigue, physical activity and sleep efficiency will be assessed.

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 purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of FK199B (Zolpidem MR Tablet) in patients with insomnia by a randomized, double-blind, group-comparison study using zolpidem (Myslee) as a comparative drug

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.

To evaluate the tolerability, bleeding patterns and acceptability of Totelle® 1mg administered to a population of Brazilian women in a continuous combined regime for hormone replacement therapy.
