About this study

Official title: Impact of Sleep Deprivation on Objective, Physiological Measures of Brain Function Cognition

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the measures of brain function, both neurophysiological (event-related potentials (ERPs) and functional (cognitive assessments), in response to sleep deprivation.

Being tested
Sleep Deprivation, Caffeine, No Caffeine
Medical subject headings
Sleep Deprivation

What participants receive

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

  • Sleep DeprivationBehavioural

    Participants will be randomized into either the sleep deprivation group or the control group, who will sleep regularly.

  • CaffeineOther

    On Day 2 morning, after the sleep deprivation or sleeping, participants will be randomized into receiving caffeinated or de-caffeinated coffee, which they will be blinded to.

  • No CaffeineOther

    De-caffeinated coffee

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sleep Deprivation, Caffeine and No Caffeine in people with Cognitive Change and Sleep Deprivation, run by NeuroCatch Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 12 inclusion and 18 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 29 Sep 2022. 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 Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Change in NeuroCatch® Platform 2 (NCP2), event-related potentials (ERPs) Amplitudes (time frame: 2 days). 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 29 Sep 2022.
