Trial summary

The investigator showed that a night of sleep deprivation halved the duration of an inspiratory endurance test and that this loss of endurance could be secondary to a lack of activation of the pre-motor cortex. Read more about this study

About this study

The investigator showed that a night of sleep deprivation halved the duration of an inspiratory endurance test and that this loss of endurance could be secondary to a lack of activation of the pre-motor cortex. However, the inspiratory endurance test is associated with a feeling of dyspnea that could lead to premature arrest, and the inspiratory drive is complex, both automatic and voluntary. The investigator can reproduce this results on a simpler drive.

During the execution of an exercise involving repeated contractions of the hand it is possible to record the activation of the pre-motor cortex corresponding to the phase of preparation of the movement. The amplitude of these premotor potentials is proportional to the developed motive force.

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of sleep deprivation on the muscular endurance of non-dominant in healthy subjects.

Hypothesis: Sleep deprivation causes a decrease in manual motor endurance by decreasing cortical pre-motor control.

Main objective: To compare the motor endurance of healthy subjects after a night's sleep and after a sleepless night.

Secondary objective: To compare the amplitude of premature cortical control at the beginning of the endurance test after a night's sleep and after a sleepless night.

What is being measured

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

  1. Test duration

    Time, in minutes, measured between the beginning of the endurance test and the end of the test, defined by the volunteer's inability to maintain a force of at least 30% of the maximum strength for 5 seconds.

    Measured: 1 hour.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Normal sleep night and Sleepless night in people with Sleep Deprivation and Healthy Volunteers, run by Poitiers University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 10 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 Apr 2020. 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 France. 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?

Test duration (time frame: 1 hour.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03404427, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2020.
