Analyzing how sleep patterns affect recovery in traumatic brain injury patients

Wearable Device-Based Analysis of the Relationship Between Sleep Patterns and Clinical Prognosis in Patients With Mild to Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury

This study looks at how sleep patterns affect recovery in adults aged 18 to 60 who have had a traumatic brain injury.

Quick facts

• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 50 (estimated)
• Ages: 18 Years to 60 Years
• Sex: All
• Sponsor: General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University (Academic / other)
• Locations: 1 site (Yinchuan, Ningxia)
• Trial ID: NCT06790979 on ClinicalTrials.gov

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the relationship between sleep patterns and clinical prognosis in patients who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI). By utilizing wearable devices to collect objective sleep data, the study aims to overcome the limitations of self-reported assessments that are often biased. The research focuses on patients aged 18 to 60 who have a confirmed diagnosis of TBI and meet specific inclusion criteria, with the goal of enhancing understanding of recovery outcomes based on sleep quality. The findings could provide valuable insights into how sleep impacts recovery in this patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 60 who have sustained a traumatic brain injury and had no prior sleep disturbances.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of traumatic brain injury, mental illness, or sleep disorders, as well as those undergoing surgical intervention, will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved recovery strategies for patients with traumatic brain injury by highlighting the importance of sleep patterns.

How similar studies have performed: While some studies have explored the relationship between sleep and recovery in TBI patients, this approach using wearable devices for objective data collection is relatively novel.
