About this study

Official title: Determination of the Sleep Improving Effects of Phenolics From an Orange Peel Extract

This study aims to determine whether a citrus flavonoid or a citrus flavonoid formulation can improve objective sleep duration and/or quality, and/or improve perceived sleep quality and feelings of rest.

Participants will complete a total of 9 test nights, which consist of sleeping with the sleep monitoring system after ingestion of the test product or a placebo, and filling out sleep-related questionnaires.

The study has a crossover design, meaning that all participants receive all three interventions (citrus flavonoid, citrus flavonoid formulation, placebo) three times, in a randomized order.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Sleep quality as assessed objectively by means of a portable sleep monitoring system (ZEO)

    • The primary endpoint for this study is the determination of sleep quality, as assessed objectively with the portable sleep monitoring system ZEO, which is based on EEG/EMG (electromyography) coupled with an automatic sleep phase classifier. Sleep stages are classified as deep sleep, light sleep, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep or awake. The sleep patterns of the participants after ingestion of the two different test products will be compared to each other and to placebo.

    Measured: 9 test nights (up to 9 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Subjective sleep quality ratings and fitness, tiredness and cognitive ratings, obtained from questionnaires

    Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire

    Measured: up to 9 days. Questionnaires are filled out the morning after every test night

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?

Sleep quality as assessed objectively by means of a portable sleep monitoring system (ZEO) (time frame: 9 test nights (up to 9 days)). 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 20 Nov 2015.
