About this study

Official title: Sleep to Activate Mood Promotion- Intervention

The investigators are aiming to examine the acceptability and feasibility of a portable bright light therapy instrument to improve sleep disturbance in a preventive intervention for depression. The investigators will conduct an intervention that trials the use of bright light glasses called "re-timers" as a preventive intervention in older adults with sleep disturbance and subsyndromal symptoms of depression.

Being tested
Re-Timer glasses
Medical subject headings
Depression, Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders

What participants receive

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

  • Re-Timer glassesDevice

    Participants will wear the Re-timer glasses for 30 minutes a day according to their sleep chronotype in weeks 3 and 4 of the study.

Study groups in NCT02413294
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Bright Light InterventionExperimentalBefore the bright light intervention is initiated (and during the intervention), participants will wear two wrist bands which measure sleep quality and activity levels- the Fitbit and actigraphy watches. These will be worn for two weeks to assess individuals' baseline levels of sleep quality and will continue to be worn during the intervention. Following the baseline period, the re-timer glasses will be introduced and worn for a period of 30 to 50 minutes a day for two weeks.
Receives: Device: Re-Timer glasses

What is being measured

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

  1. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

    The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is a validated scale which measures self-reported sleep quality based on a wide variety of questions (duration, quality, disturbances, medication, etc.) and converts them to a scale which ranges from 0 to 21 where 6 or higher denotes poor sleep quality.

    Measured: two weeks after introduction of intervention

  2. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Depression Scale

    The PHQ-9 Depression Scale is a validated scale ranging from 0 to 27 with higher numbers representing greater severity of depressive symptoms, based on 9 questions with each question on a scale of 0 - 3.

    Measured: two weeks after introduction of intervention

  3. Insomnia Severity Index Sum Scores

    The Insomnia Severity Index measures insomnia severity on a scale from 0 to 28. A score of 15 or higher is indicative of clinical insomnia.

    Measured: two weeks after introduction of intervention

  4. Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire

    The morningness- eveningness categories represent the time of day when a person is at their peak alertness.

    Measured: two weeks after introduction of intervention

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Actigraph Sleep Data: Minutes Asleep

    mean nightly sleep duration for each of the two-week periods: baseline and intervention

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period

  2. Actigraph: Number of Awakenings

    Actigraphy counts awakenings by using an accelerometer to assess motion during the night. The number of awakenings is the mean nightly number of awakenings during each of the two-week periods: baseline and intervention.

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period

  3. Actigraph: Efficiency

    Sleep efficiency is calculated as a percentage reflecting the amount of time in bed spent asleep (time asleep/time in bed x 100). The mean for each of the two-week periods: baseline and intervention, is calculated.

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period

  4. Fitbit Sleep Data: Sleep Duration

    mean nightly sleep duration in minutes for each of the two-week periods: baseline and intervention

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period

  5. Fitbit Sleep Data: Night Awakenings

    mean nightly awakenings for each of the two week periods: baseline and intervention. Similar to the actigraph the Fitbit counts awakenings through an accelerometer which measures motion.

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period

  6. Fitbit Sleep Data: Sleep Efficiency

    Sleep efficiency is calculated as a percentage reflecting the amount of time in bed spent asleep (time asleep/time in bed x 100).

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period

  7. Self-Reported Sleep Diary: Time at Which Participants go to Bed

    Bed time represents the moment in time at which participants went to bed, measured on a revised clock where 6pm = 18, Midnight = 24 and 6am =30. Time between actual hours is calculated on a decimal basis, so an additional 6 minutes = .1. This revised clock is necessary in order to make means work properly in the nighttime hours. Otherwise, averaging between a 10pm bedtime and a 2am bedtime would give the impossible, inaccurate mean of being in the daytime between those two numbers.

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period to be compared

  8. Self-Reported Sleep Diary: Time at Which Participants Wake up

    Wake time represents the moment in time at which participants awaken. Time between actual hours is calculated on a decimal basis so an additional 6 minutes = .1. so that 7.5 represents 7:30 a.m. and 7.8 represents 7:48 a.m.

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period to be compared

  9. Self-Reported Sleep Diary: Sleep Quality

    sleep quality is a participants' mean self-report for each of the two week periods: baseline and intervention. Sleep quality is reported for each night on a scale of 0 (very poor) to 4 (very good).

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period to be compared

  10. Self-Reported Sleep Diary: Night Awakenings

    mean number of night awakenings per person per night as reported in sleep diaries

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period to be compared

  11. Self-Reported Sleep Diary: Sleep Duration

    nightly mean of length of sleep measured in minutes

    Measured: daily for 4 weeks- baseline and intervention period to be compared

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Re-Timer glasses in people with Depression and Sleep Quality, run by University of Michigan 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 7 Apr 2017. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (time frame: two weeks after introduction of intervention). The study lists 4 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 7 Apr 2017.
