About this study

This study aims at measuring the impact of a night of sleep deprivation over the vocal characteristics of healthy subjects.To do so, the subjects takes a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) the day after a night of total sleep deprivation (or a supervised normal night for the control subjects). Before each iteration of the MSLT, the subjects are recorded during the reading of a text and fill three medical questionnaires : Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F) and Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A), allowing to link variations of vocal markers to the variations of these measures.

Read the detailed description

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) is a frequent symptom that concerns between 5% and 8% of the population. The individual consequence of EDS is a diminution of the life quality. Furthermore, EDS is a cause of high socio-medical costs though the accidental risks that it induces at work and on the road (Ohayon, Reynolds et al. 2013). Indeed, it is a severe symptom due to the consequences that it is the cause of. Furthermore, EDS is associated to 5 to 20% of road accidents depending on the type of road network. As a consequence, to elaborate a sleepiness detection through voice in real time system is a major challenge for public health-care and medicine. Moreover, it offers benefits from a socio-medical aspect, as detecting sleepiness through voice doesn't require neither consumables furniture nor specialized staff to be set up.

To highlight the effect of sleepiness over voice, investigators designed this experiment around a night of total sleep deprivation. To measure objective sleepiness of subjects, they takes a MSLT test the day after a night of total sleep deprivation (or a supervised night for control). The complementary measures (KSS, VAS-A, VAS-F and Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT)) will allow to study the exact origin of the variations of the vocal markers induced by the sleep deprivation.

What participants receive

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

  • Total sleep deprivationOther

    Participants will perform repeatedly : task of reading with voice acquisition before each MSLT, KSS, VAS-Anxiety, VAS-Fatigue and PVT during the day after a night of total sleep deprivation.

  • Normal sleepOther

    Participants will perform repeatedly : task of reading with voice acquisition before each MSLT, KSS, VAS-Anxiety, VAS-Fatigue and PVT during the day after a night of normal sleep.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acoustic fingerprint

    Acoustic fingerprint (statistics on prosody, frequency and energy) influenced by sleep deprivation measured at each iteration of TILE at visits V2 and V3.

    Measured: Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. sleep onset

    The sleep onset at each iteration of the MSLT (in minutes). This evaluate the objective sleepiness of the subject, right after that its voice has been recorded, allowing to link vocal markers and objective sleepiness of the subject.

    Measured: Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1)

  2. Karoslinska Sleepiness Scale questionnaire

    The score to the Karoslinska Sleepiness Scale questionnaire. This measure links the vocal markers with subjective instantaneous sleepiness.

    Minimum value 1 (extremely alert); maximum value 9 (extremely sleepy, fighting sleep)

    Measured: Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1)

  3. VAS-Fatigue

    The score to the VAS-Fatigue. This measure links the vocal markers and with the fatigue of the subject.

    Visual analog scale from minimum (energetic, no fatigue) to maximum (worst fatigue possible)

    Measured: Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1)

  4. VAS-Anxiety.

    The score to the VAS-Anxiety. This measure links the vocal markers and the anxiety level of the subject.

    Visual analog scale from minimum (calm) to maximum (anxious)

    Measured: Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1)

  5. PVT

    The score to the PVT . This links the vocal markers of the subject to its level of performance.

    Measured: Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1)

  6. lexical decision

    The scores to the lexical decision task

    Measured: Visit (V2) between 7 and 10 days after inclusion (V1) and Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total sleep deprivation and Normal sleep in people with Sleep Deprivation, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux 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 18 inclusion and 20 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 19 Sep 2024. 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. 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?

Acoustic fingerprint (time frame: Visit 3 (V3) between 14 and 60 days after inclusion (V1)). 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 19 Sep 2024.
