Effects of Lemborexant on Insomnia and Its Relationship to Mood and Behavior on Opioid Use Disorder Subjects

Opioid Use Disorder · Opioid Use · Insomnia

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how certain medications used to treat insomnia (e.g., Lemborexant) impact sleep, mood, and behavior in men and women with Opioid Use Disorder who are taking prescribed buprenorphine. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the effect of the study drug (lemborexant) on sleep outcomes? 2. What is the effect of the study drug (lemborexant) on impulsive behavior (as measured by computer test performance)? 3. What is the effect of the study drug (lemborexant) on mood and other behavior? Researchers will compare lemborexant to placebo (e.g., sugar pill) to see if participants assigned to 8 weeks of treatment with lemborexant have greater improvements on the measures listed above. Participants will take the study medication (or placebo) each night for 8 weeks and be asked to come for a total of 23 study visits. Most of these visits will be very short (15-30 minutes). The longer visits will include the screening visit (about 2-3 hrs), baseline visit (about 2.5 hrs), and the post-medication visit (about 2 hrs). Study visits will include things like taking surveys about sleep, drug use, and mood, completing urine drug testing, checking vital signs (e.g., blood pressure), and completing interviews with the study staff. Participants will also be asked to provide two blood samples (one during screening and one after taking the medication). For three two-week periods, participants will be asked to wear a watch to track sleep at home, and to keep a log of sleep and wake times.

A Study of Suvorexant (MK-4305) for the Treatment of Insomnia Disorder in Participants With Opioid Use Disorder (MK-4305-098)

Insomnia

People with opioid use disorder (OUD) can have trouble falling or staying asleep. Researchers want to know if suvorexant will help people with OUD fall asleep and stay asleep. The goal of this study is to learn about the safety of suvorexant and how well people tolerate it. Researchers also want to learn if suvorexant helps people sleep longer compared to people who take placebo. A placebo looks like the study medicine but has no actual study medicine in it.

Effects of THC-Free CBD Oil on Agitation in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer Disease · Dementia · Major Neurocognitive Disorder With Aggressive Behavior

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial that aims to 1) determine the efficacy of THC-free cannabidiol (CBD oil) in reducing the severity of agitation among participants and 2) determine whether THC-free CBD oil can reduce the burden on caregivers and increase the participants' quality of life.

Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea With Personalized Surgery in Children With Down Syndrome (TOPS-DS)

Obstructive Sleep Apnea · Down Syndrome

The overall objective of this randomized clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a personalized approach to the surgical treatment of OSA in children with Down syndrome (DS).The estimated prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with DS ranges from 45-83%, compared to 1-6% in the general pediatric population. Untreated OSA in children has been associated with daytime sleepiness, cognitive or behavioral problems, and cardiovascular complications, all which are common in children with DS. Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is the first line treatment for OSA in children, however, most large studies of AT outcomes have excluded children with DS. Available evidence demonstrates that AT is far less effective in children with DS than in the general pediatric population, with 48 to 95% of children with DS having persistent OSA after AT. Medical treatments such as positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy are frequently inadequate or poorly tolerated in this population, so many children with DS and OSA remain untreated. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) enables direct observation of the sites and patterns of obstruction during sedated sleep using a flexible endoscope passed through the nose into the pharynx. DISE was developed to guide surgical decisions in adult OSA, and in recent years has also been used to design personalized surgical interventions in children. Using this DISE Rating Scale, the investigators have demonstrated that children with DS are more prone to tongue base and supraglottic obstruction than non-DS children, suggesting the need for more personalized surgical treatments that are tailored to the common sources of obstruction in this population. Several small case series demonstrate that DISE-directed surgery can be effective in treating OSA in children with DS. However, because there have been few prospective studies and no randomized trials comparing different treatment options in this population, there remains uncertainty about whether such a personalized approach leads to superior outcomes compared to the first line AT. It is the investigators' hypothesis that personalized DISE-directed surgery that uses existing procedures to address specific fixed and dynamic anatomic features causing obstruction in each child with DS will be superior to the current first line approach of AT. This novel approach may improve OSA outcomes and reduce the burden of unnecessary AT or secondary surgery for persistent OSA after an ineffective AT.

Sleep Healthy Using the Internet Mitigating Insomnia to Address Neurocognitive Difficulties (SHUTi MIND)

Insomnia · Cognitive Dysfunction · Mild Cognitive Impairment

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the impact of an Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) intervention on sleep and the extent to which it contributes to cognitive health in individuals with mild cognitive impairment. Participants with insomnia who meet the study criteria for mild cognitive impairment will be recruited to determine the effects of the CBT-I intervention compared to a patient education condition on sleep and cognition. Internet-based recruitment methods will be used, and outcomes include sleep variables, daytime variables, and cognitive status.

Resilience Enhancement Following Sleep Treatment

Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) · Insomnia

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an adaptive intervention targeting both insomnia and positive affect in improving pain outcomes for adults with chronic low back pain (cLBP) and comorbid insomnia. Specifically, the study tests whether augmenting a cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) program with a meditation intervention (Savoring Meditation) or a Pain Education intervention will result in greater reductions in pain intensity. Secondary objectives include evaluating improvements in insomnia severity, positive and negative affect, and overall quality of life.
