About this study

Official title: Students With Diabetes: Does Optimizing Sleep Promote Classroom, Behavioral, and Disease-Related Improvement

Sleep intervention for youth with diabetes

Read the detailed description

It is known that sleep disturbances in healthy youth have negative effects on neurobehavioral functioning. Further, data support that individuals with diabetes have more sleep disturbances and compromised neurobehavioral functioning than individuals without diabetes. However, the joint impact of sleep and glucose on neurobehavioral functioning in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is not yet known. Therefore, our primary study aims are to: (1) determine the relative contributions of various sleep disturbances on glucose control in youth with T1DM; (2) examine the joint impact of glucose control and sleep disturbances on neurobehavioral outcomes in youth with T1DM; and (3) determine if increasing sleep duration relative to youth's typical schedules contributes to changes in glycemic control and neurobehavioral performance. These aims will be achieved by following 120 youth with T1DM ages 10 through 16 for six days of naturalistic sleep using polysomnography, actigraphy, and questionnaires to assess sleep; continuous glucose monitors and hemoglobin A1C values to assess glucose control; and standardized cognitive tasks and behavior rating scales to assess neurobehavioral functioning. Further, the proposed study is innovative in that it will extend existing research by moving from correlational findings to an experimental paradigm by randomizing youth with T1DM to either a Sleep Extension or Fixed Sleep Duration condition for an additional six days. Once our aims are achieved and a causal link is established, the proposed Sleep Extension intervention will advance knowledge about the role of sleep in diabetes management and provide a beneficial intervention to help youth with T1DM.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Sleep extensionBehavioural

    There will be a consultation with families to help youth to be successful in extending their sleep.

  • Fixed Sleep DurationBehavioural

    There will be a consultation with families to instruct youth to maintain the same average nightly sleep duration during the modification week. The purpose is to control for time and attention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sleep extension and Fixed Sleep Duration in people with Diabetes, run by University of Arizona at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Academic Rating Scale (time frame: 2 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Nov 2016.
