Active clinical trials for "Sleep Wake Disorders"

Nocturnal hypertension (i.e. blood pressure values >120/70 or 10% higher than diurnal values, as measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, ABPM) is particularly frequent in renal transplant recipients (RTR), despite the use of antihypertensive drugs. Since RTR are also affected by several sleep disorders (like insomnia, restless legs syndrome, sleep apnoea) that frankly impair their quality of sleep (SQ), the aim of the present study is to ascertain whether a relationship exists between nocturnal hypertension and SQ. In fact, both nocturnal hypertension and sleep disorders may favour the onset or the progression of cardiovascular diseases, the first cause of death in RTR.

This study will test if patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries also have endocrine abnormalities, examine any existing relationships among fatigue, depression and endocrine abnormalities, and the relationship between endocrine abnormalities, quality of life, and community integration.

This prospective multicenter registry study aims to determine whether device-detected sleep-disordered breathing events are associated increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias or other cardiovascular outcomes.

Subjects will complete an electronic consent form and then fill out questionnaires on a tablet computer. The answers to the questions will be recorded to a secure electronic database, along with the results of a clinical overnight sleep study performed separately from this research study (this research study will not perform any overnight visits). After the overnight study diagnosis researchers will see which answers are most commonly given in association with each diagnosis. In addition, we will assess to what extent the sleep disorder impacts the patient's perception of his/her quality of life.

The objective of this study is to collect heart rate, respiration data and motion data of patients admitted to sleep lab and to determine the current accuracy level of the EarlySense system vs. the standard system, and predicate device for EarlySense (Embla) used in sleep lab in monitoring heart rate and respiration rates monitors (ECG, respiratory belts, oximeter) that are currently used in the sleep lab among different population (Obese, patients with or without apnea, patients with or without arrhythmia). It is emphasized that no interpretations or clinical decisions will be made based on data received from the ES study device.
