Active clinical trials for "Sleep Wake Disorders"

Research on the sustainment of implemented evidence-based psychological treatments in routine practice settings, such as community mental health centers, is limited. The goal of this study is to test sustainment predictors, mechanisms, and outcomes of the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TranS-C) in community mental health centers after implementation efforts have ended. CMHC providers have been trained to deliver a "Standard" or "Adapted" version of TranS-C. Researchers will compare these two groups to evaluate differences--and possible mechanisms--with respect to sustainment outcomes.

More than 5 million patients are admitted to the intensive care unit every year in the United States; most of these patients experience profound sleep and circadian disruption. Promotion of circadian alignment (i.e., alignment of the body's clocks) would make it possible to strategically schedule behaviors such as sleep and eating at normal body clock times, which is predicted to improve sleep quality and metabolic function. This project will test the ability of a sleep chronobundle (i.e., sleep promotion and circadian treatment bundle) to normalize circadian alignment and subsequently test if this realignment also improves sleep and metabolism.

In this study the investigators will examine the effect of general anesthesia and surgery on sleep duration and sleep quality in children, using questionnaires and a sleep diary.

The plant Melissa officinalis L. is commonly used to treat disorders related to anxiety and sleep quality. It contains several phytochemicals that give it antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective properties. A study on subjects with mild to moderate anxiety and sleep disorders showed that an extract of Melissa officinalis reduced anxiety manifestations by 18%, improved symptoms associated with anxiety by 15%, and reduced insomnia by 42%. However, that study did not have a control group, so a randomized trial with a control group is needed. The objective of the study will be to evaluate the beneficial effects of a phytosome-formulated Melissa officinalis extract on sleep duration and different stages of sleep, which will be monitored using a wrist device. She will be provided with a wrist device that will be used for sleep monitoring. The trial will last for 45 days, in which she will be asked to take the phytosome-formulated Melissa supplement for two 14-day periods (2 tablets, 30 minutes before bedtime). There will be a 7-day break in the intake period between the two periods. At the beginning, middle, and end of the trial, you will be asked to answer some questionnaires.

The goal of this observational study is to: 1) determine the prevalence of sleep disorders in pregnancy and the early postpartum; 2) identify factors associated with sleep disturbance during pregnancy and the early postpartum; 3) describe the progression of sleep quality and quantity as gestational age; 4) determine if sleep is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Participants were asked to wear a forehead sleep recorder for 4 consecutive days and to complete a sleep questionnaire at ten timepoints: at 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, and 9 months pregnant and at 1 month, 2 months and 3 months postpartum.

This protocol will increase sleep duration in participants who maintain less than 6 hours sleep per night, to target the recommended 7 hours of sleep per night. The focus of this study is determine how increasing nightly sleep duration in these individuals who maintain less than 6 hours sleep per night changes their plasma metabolome and insulin sensitivity. The primary outcome will examine changes in branched-chain amino acids and the secondary outcome will examine changes in insulin sensitivity. The investigators will also determine if changes in plasma metabolites can be used as a biomarker to discriminate between adequate versus insufficient sleep.

Study investigators want to learn more about the underlying biological clock and to see if the timing of that clock can be estimated from a single blood sample.

The purpose of this study is to: To test a new intervention for sleep disturbance among hematopoietic cell transplant survivors. About 60 hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) survivors will participate in this intervention. Preliminary Steps: To conduct qualitative interviews with patients, caregivers, and clinicians regarding sleep disturbance in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) survivors and on preferences for a new mHealth intervention for sleep disturbance. About 30 individuals (10 HCT survivors, 10 caregivers and 5-10 clinicians) will participate in this part of the study.

The main aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the occurrence of sleep disorders in patients undergoing thoracic surgery due to the preliminary diagnosis of lung cancer. Secondary aims include anxiety, depressive mood and functional outcomes before and 3 months after the intervention.

The Multidisciplinary Expert System for the Assessment & Management of Complex Brain Disorders (MES-CoBraD) is an interdisciplinary project combining Real-World Data (RWD) from multiple clinical and consumer sources through comprehensive, cost-efficient, and fast protocols towards improving diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes in people with Complex Brain Disorders (CoBraD), as reflected in Neurocognitive (Dementia), Sleep, and Seizure (Epilepsy) disorders and their interdependence. It brings together internationally recognized experts in medicine, engineering, computer science, social health science, law, and marketing and communication from across Europe, and combines clinical information and scientific research in CoBraD with technical innovation in secure data-sharing platforms, artificial intelligence algorithms, and expert systems of precision and personalized care, with a primary focus on improving the quality of life of patients, their caregivers, and the society at large. It leverages RWD from diverse CoBraD populations across cultural, socioeconomic, educational, and health system backgrounds, with special attention on including vulnerable populations and minorities in an equitable manner and engaging key stakeholders to maximize project impact.
