About this study

Official title: Self-Management of Sleep Among Older Adults Using Personal Monitoring: A Feasibility Study

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of older persons use of a personal sleep monitoring device(PSMD)to improve self-management of sleep. Disrupted sleep occurs in up to 50% of persons over the age of 65 with chronic health conditions. Impaired sleep negatively influences subjective and objective health outcomes.To improve their sleep, older adults with chronic health conditions could benefit from objective information, available through personal health monitoring devices, about their current and changing sleep patterns. Based on this information, sleep self-management interventions can be individualized and shared, and associations between sleep and health changes may be better managed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Use of A Personal Sleep Monitoring Device (PSMD)

    Demonstrates use of Personal Sleep Self-Monitor through data downloads and self-report

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  2. Changes in Sleep

    Demonstrated sleep changes indicated by change in BRCS NINR PROMIS SF V1 Sleep Disturbance Scale 6a (a 6 item, 5 point likert scale with higher scores reflecting more sleep disturbance and lower scores less.

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 4

  3. Changes in Health

    Demonstrated health changes indicated by change in BRCS NINR PROMIS Global Health Short Form Scale 10a (10 item, 5 point likert scale) with higher scores reflecting better health (3 items reverse scoring)

    Measured: Week 1 and Week 4

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Usability of PSMD

    Demonstrated through adapted System Usability Scale Scores (10 items, 5 point likert scale) with high agreement demonstrating higher levels of satisfaction using the device

    Measured: Week 2 and 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Personal Sleep Monitoring in people with Sleep Disturbance, run by University of Massachusetts, Amherst 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 26 Feb 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Use of A Personal Sleep Monitoring Device (PSMD) (time frame: up to 4 weeks). 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 26 Feb 2020.
