57 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
As children pass through puberty the timing of their sleep-wake cycle shifts and they experience a strong urge to stay up and awaken late. High school typically starts early in the morning and a significant percentage of normal adolescents arrive at school each day with an insufficient amount of sleep, which can take a substantial toll on their academic performance. As the primary reason for insufficient sleep is a naturally occurring propensity to stay up later in the evening it seems plausible that bright light treatment (BLT) at the appropriate time may phase advance biological clocks and potentially reverse this problem. Hence, the investigators are testing the hypothesis that consistent morning use of a light emitting diode (LED) BLT device (LiteBook Edge™) by healthy adolescents will shift the phase of their sleep wake cycle and enable them to receive an increased amount of sleep during the school week and perform better on tests of attention and academic performance and evidence signs of improved alertness. Alternatively, BLT could potentially enhance alertness through other mechanisms, such as a direct arousing effect, without exerting a discernible effect on circadian phase or sleep duration.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to explore how the presentation of sleep data impacts sleep quality, sleep-related behaviors (such as sleepiness), and sleep-related anxiety and stress. The study aims to answer the following key questions: 1. Does receiving sleep-related feedback from a wearable sleep tracker affect an individual\'s mindset about sleep? 2. How does the mindset about sleep influence sleep quality, sleepiness, and stress/anxiety levels related to sleep? 3. Does the feedback on sleep data moderate the relationship between one\'s mindset about sleep and their sleep quality? Participants will: 1. Be randomly assigned to receive different types of feedback about their sleep data to determine if the way sleep data is presented influences self-reported sleep quality, sleepiness, and sleep-related stress. 2. During the baseline period (Weeks 1-2), complete daily and weekly surveys assessing their sleep habits, beliefs about sleep, anxiety, stress, and mindset regarding sleep. 3. For Weeks 3-4, wear a Fitbit and Brain-Sensing earbuds, receiving daily feedback on their sleep. 4. At the end of the study, provide feedback on their experience using the devices. Participants may choose to return the devices or keep them after the study concludes.

Histaminergic agents are known to be involved with the sleep/wake cycle. This compound is a histaminergic agent which therefore may improve alertness and awakeness in patients with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) associated with narcolepsy. Significant improvement in EDS when treated with this compound compared to placebo in patients with narcolepsy is hypothesized.
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of modafinil on the negative symptoms, such as blunted affect and social withdrawal, of schizophrenic patients and to determine modafinil's effect on excessive daytime sleepiness. A secondary purpose of the study is to examine the effect of modafinil on cognitive functioning of schizophrenic patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a compound known as EVT 201 is effective in treating elderly patients diagnosed with primary insomnia who also have moderate daytime sleepiness.
This is an open-label cross-over randomized control study comparing the effect of modafinil and methylphenidate in patients with Parkinson's disease with excessive daytime sleepiness.
This study will be conducted as a randomized, double blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial in patients diagnosed with narcolepsy. Volunteers for this trial will be required to make 5 visits over up to 14 weeks to a participating expert physician practitioner for various sleep and narcolepsy evaluations and diaries will also be collected. Participants will take assigned medications during the course of the trial. Subjects will have a 25% probability of receiving placebo for both drugs (modafinil and Xyrem). All subject volunteers must meet criteria for narcolepsy and have evidence of daytime sleepiness. Patients will not incur any personal medical expenses due to participation in this trial. The sponsor is covering all visit costs not covered by insurance and there are some funds for patient expenses such as travel.

The purpose of this study is to assess patient reported outcomes with armodafinil treatment in terms of improvement in sleepiness, satisfaction with treatment, impact on ability to engage in life activities (ie, daily or work and family and/or social activities), and effects on fatigue. Clinician ratings on patient response to armodafinil treatment will also be assessed.
A 12 Month, Open-Label, Flexible Dosage Extension Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Armodafinil (CEP-10953) in the Treatment of Patients with Excessive Sleepiness Associated with Narcolepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome, or Chronic Shift Work Sleep Disorder
Mouth breathing, snoring and poor sleep can contribute to and worsen periodontitis (gum disease). The purpose of this study is to test whether the myTAP oral appliance with a mouth shield (OA+) can lessen periodontal symptoms in those with these conditions over a 12 week period. In addition to testing sleep respiration and quality, it will also evaluate periodontal pathogens and systemic stress in subjects treated with OA+. This split-mouth clinical trial will include adults with mild to moderate periodontist who snore and mouth breath. All will receive comprehensive periodontal care in addition to OA+ therapy.
This research aims to develop a better understanding and clinical knowledge of the effects of a plant based diet on severity and daytime sleepiness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Rural communities in the southern U.S. suffer a disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality from cardiometabolic disease, with traditional risk factors explaining only a modest proportion of the excess burden of disease. There is considerable evidence that multiple dimensions of sleep health, including sleep duration, efficiency, timing, and regularity, as well as the disorders sleep apnea and insomnia, affect cardiometabolic disease risk. However, there is currently a lack of systematically developed sleep data in rural populations. The RURAL Sleep Study is an ancillary study to a recently initiated longitudinal epidemiology study in rural Appalachia and Mississippi Delta (the RURAL Study). The RURAL Sleep Study will add measures of sleep health to the complex individual, social and environmental factors and health outcome measures being evaluated by the RURAL Study, by incorporating minimally burdensome measures of multiple dimensions of sleep health. The results are expected to inform health care providers, public health officials, and the general public of the prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of impaired sleep health in these rural communities, providing a critical basis for prevention, recognition, and management of sleep disorders and improvement of sleep and cardiometabolic health.
