What participants receive

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

  • questionnairesBehavioural

    Pre-hospital sleep questionnaire completed (Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ)7 in children 0-3 years old; Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ)8 in children 4 years and older). Subsequent Day(s):

    In-hospital sleep questionnaire completed between one and three times per subject (Sleep at MSK questionnaire (SAM), adapted from Sleep in a Children's Hospital (SinCH)9 by Dr. Lisa Meltzer). (Patients will be observed for up to 3 consecutive nights in total).

  • actigraphDevice

    This device reliably measures sleep by monitoring the child's motion.

Study groups in NCT02836041
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pediatrics cancer patientsEligible patients will be approached for enrollment after their first night in the hospital (i.e.: not on day of admission). Patient/parent will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire describing the child's general sleep habits prior to admission. The parent and/or child will then be asked to complete a questionnaire describing sleep while in the hospital; this in-hospital sleep questionnaire will be obtained for 3 consecutive nights after enrollment, or until discharge, whichever is soonest. A subgroup of patients (between the ages of 5 and 18) will be invited to participate in an additional aspect of the study, where they wear an actigraph (a small device that looks like a watch) for up to 72 hours. This device reliably measures sleep by monitoring the child's motion. This will be used to relate sleep perception to more objective measures of sleep as provided by actigraphy.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

quality of sleep (time frame: 3 nights). 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?
