10 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Insufficient sleep is a significant public health issue, particularly affecting shift workers like firefighters, nearly half of whom report short or poor-quality sleep, with 35-40% screening positive for sleep disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) is a recommended and effective treatment, but access to such interventions remains low. This study will recruit 20 fire agencies in Arizona (400 firefighters) to test if a CBTi-informed intervention, including sleep health coaching and agency-wide promotion, improves sleep more effectively than usual care. The trial will also explore factors that influence successful implementation across agencies.
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the impact of an Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) intervention on sleep and the extent to which it contributes to cognitive health in individuals with mild cognitive impairment. Participants with insomnia who meet the study criteria for mild cognitive impairment will be recruited to determine the effects of the CBT-I intervention compared to a patient education condition on sleep and cognition. Internet-based recruitment methods will be used, and outcomes include sleep variables, daytime variables, and cognitive status.
Insufficient sleep has both health and safety risks, but currently there are no quick, accurate and inexpensive ways to measure sleep deficiency. The current study aims to use a cutting-edge technology, small molecule analysis (e.g. metabolomics), to detect compounds in breath that reliably change with sleep-wake state and those whose levels vary by time of day.
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 primary aim of this project is to test the effect of exercise on acute nicotine withdrawal. Acute nicotine withdrawal is characterized by a complex array of symptoms associated with increased risk of relapse among individuals attempting smoking cessation. The available remedies do not target all aspects of withdrawal. For example, pharmacologic treatments reduce withdrawal-based craving, but have no effect on cue-related craving, altered sleep, and mood disturbances during withdrawal. Therefore, non-pharmacologic behavioral techniques with the potential to attenuate persistent withdrawal symptoms are needed. We hypothesized that exercise can be a valid non-pharmacologic strategy to improve these domains.
This study will evaluate the effect of regular aerobic exercise on improving sleep in older adults with moderate difficulty sleeping.
The researchers are investigating if the Self-Supporting Nasopharyngeal Airway (ssNPA) device can be used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in children with Hypotonic Upper Airway Obstruction (HUAO).
The objective of the study is to confirm the safety and efficacy in patients utilizing the aura6000 System for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety of Ramelteon, once daily (QD), in subjects with chronic insomnia.
This is a study of the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of Serdexmethylphenidate (SDX) compared to placebo in subjects with Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH).
