About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Actigraph Measured Sleep Compared to Polysomnography During Acute Uncomplicated Diverticulitis

The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of actigraph measured sleep compared to the golden standard (polysomnography) during Acute uncomplicated diverticulitis. Our hypothesis is the actigraph is accurate for sleep-monitoring for this group of patients

Read the detailed description

The actigraph has been proven to measured sleep data with an accuracy about 80% (compared with Polysomnography) in patients who have undergone surgery.

But this accuracy has not been validated in relation to none surgical inflammatory diseases. This study will investigate the accuracy of actigraph measured sleep in diverticulitis patients.

Following methods will be applied

Device: Wrist-Actigraph - Octagonal Basic Motionlogger, Ambulatory monitoring Inc, New York, USA

Other: Sleep-diary

Device: Polysomnograph - Embla Titanium (Natus Medical Incorporated, USA)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in Sleep data during acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (1-5th days following the admission) from baseline at remission (5th-30th days)

    Sleep measured by Actigraphy (total minutes asleep, sleep effectiveness, sleep latency, awakenings). A wrist actigraph wil be worn from 1st day of the admission and taken off on the 31st day.

    Measured: 1st-30th days following the admission

  2. Changes in Circadian rhythm during acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (1-5th days following the admission) from baseline at remission (5th-30th days)

    Circadian rhythm measured by Actigraphy. A wrist actigraph wil be worn from 1st day of the admission and taken off on the 31st day.

    Measured: 1st-30th days following the admission

  3. Accuracy of actigraphy measured sleep data in compare to Polysomnography both in inflammatory condition and in remission condition

    Sleep data measured by Actigraphy (total minutes asleep, sleep effectiveness, sleep latency, awakenings) are to validate with the PSG-measured data

    Measured: 1st, 2nd and 30th days following the admission

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Diverticulitis, run by Herlev Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. 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. 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?

Changes in Sleep data during acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (1-5th days following the admission) from baseline at remission (5th-30th days) (time frame: 1st-30th days following the admission). The study lists 3 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 25 Feb 2014.
