The Effect of Night Eye Mask on Post-operative Pain in Cardiac Surgery Patients
A study testing Flight Eye-masks; Dreaming, Zhuji City, Zhejiang, China in people with Sleep Deprivation and Postoperative Pain, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial summary
Environmental factors such as noise and light have been cited as important causes of sleep deprivation in Intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Previous studies demonstrated a hyperalgesic alteration in pain perception following a controlled sleep deprivation protocol. Read more about this study

About this study
Environmental factors such as noise and light have been cited as important causes of sleep deprivation in Intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Previous studies demonstrated a hyperalgesic alteration in pain perception following a controlled sleep deprivation protocol. Another studies indicated that using eye masks can improve REM sleep in healthy subjects in simulated ICU environment, and improve sleep quality in ICU patients. This study aimed to determine the effects of using eye masks on sleep and thus on pain quality in postoperative cardiac surgery patients in ICU.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Flight Eye-masks; Dreaming, Zhuji City, Zhejiang, ChinaOther
The experimental group will receive protective devices Single use eye masks during nocturnal sleep (Flight Eye-masks; Dreaming, Zhuji City, Zhejiang, China). The caregiver will explain to them that they should wear eye masks during their stay in ICU to ensure rest and instructed patients to use them properly. During the ICU stay, ICU nurses will assist patients with wearing eye masks from 9:00 pm to 7:00 am the next morning.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
postoperative pain
visual analogue scale will be used. ranging from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (worst pain imaginable).
Measured: 3 postoperative days
Secondary outcomes (1)
Quality of sleep
the Arabic version of the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ)The five-point RCSQ was designed to evaluate different aspects of night-time sleep, including: (1) depth; (2) latency (time to fall asleep); (3) number of awakenings; (4) efficiency (percent of time awake), and (5) quality. Each item was scored using a 100-mm visual-analogue scale (VAS), which ranged from 0 mm (worst sleep) to 100 mm (optimal sleep). Total score was calculated by dividing the sum of all scores by five. The RCSQ was administered by the researcher daily, at 7:00am every morning.
Measured: 3 postoperative days
