About this study
Official title: Pilot Open Non-Comparative Study To Evaluate In Special Care Setting The Administration Of A New Nutraceutical Associated With Sleep Hygiene Guidelines In Subjects Affected By Persistent Mild Sleep Disorders
The Research Hypothesis for the present pilot study in a special care setting is that in a population suffering of mild and recent sleep disorders the pre-sleep arousal measured by the Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale (PSAS) after 30 days of oral administration with a nutraceutical composed of hawthorn, lavender and hop (Sonidor®) shall significantly improve in comparison with the baseline condition.
Read the detailed description
Sonidor® was developed as a nutraceutical composed of hawthorn, lavender and hop inducing sleep and relaxation in subjects with mild sleep disturbances. In addition, the Sonidor® innovative three-layer-tablet formulation should allow the active components to be released with different speeds into the gastrointestinal tract exerting a synergistic action to induce sleep-promoting effects.
Primary objective is to have a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of Sonidor® in subjects affected by persistent mild sleep disorders (difficulty in initiating sleep for at least 1 month and reduced quality of sleeping) to whom in special care setting have been suggested sleep hygiene guidelines and administered the tested nutraceutical for one month.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Sonidor®Dietary supplement
Sonidor® triple layer release tablets are developed with a specialized process to improve stability and bioavailability of the formulation based on hawthorn, lavender and hop extracts. The hawthorn, lavender and hop extracts used to product Sonidor® have an elevated content of vitexin (3%), monoterpens (4% as linalool) and flavonoids (4%), respectively.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Sonidor® | Experimental | Application: following the summary of product characteristics (l tablet per day) At the 7-day phone call the Investigator can increase the dosage to 2 tablets per day only in non-responding subjects. Receives: Dietary Supplement: Sonidor® |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pre-sleep arousal scale (PSAS);
Change in Pre-sleep arousal scale PSAS from a maxim of 24 to a minimum of 16 is a positive outcome for the investigational product
Measured: 30 days
Secondary outcomes (6)
Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)
Minimal score for ISI scale is 0 to 7 (clinical insignificant insomnia), 8 to 14 (bellow average insomnia), 15 to 21 (moderate insomnia) and 22 to 28 (severe insomnia)
Measured: 30 days
Patient Health Questionnaire QoL (PHQ-9)
The minimal score of this questionnaire is 0 (patient is not affected by insomnia) and the maximum score is 27 ( patient is highly affected by insomnia)
Measured: 30 days
Cognitive subscale of Pre-sleep arousal scale (PSAS)
The minimal score of this questionnaire is 0 (patient is not affected by insomnia) and the maximum score is 27 ( patient is highly affected by insomnia)
Measured: 30 days
Somatic subscale of PSAS (Pre-sleep arousal scale)
The minimal score of this questionnaire is 0 (patient is not affected by insomnia) and the maximum score is 27 ( patient is highly affected by insomnia)
Measured: 30 days
Global Assessment of Safety
it will be reported by the subject using the 4-point scale: 1= very good safety, 2 = good safety, 3 = moderate safety and 4 = poor safety. Global Assessment of Safety will be evaluated at the last visit.
Measured: 30 days
Restorative Sleep Questionnaire-Daily (RSQ-D)
Provides a valid and reliable measure for assessing nonrestorative sleep complaints. It includes 9 self-report items related to various aspects of the restorative quality of sleep. The paper printed questionnaire will be completed on a daily basis by subject upon awakening. Minimum score is 0 and maximum is 100. The higher the score, the better the sleep quality
Measured: 30 days
