The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of seluang fish oil (Rasbora argyrotaenia) and synbiotics (containing Lactobacillus helveticus R0052 60%, Bifidobacterium infantis R0033 20%, Bifidobacterium bifidum R0071 20% and frukto-oligosaccharide 80 mg) supplementation compared to placebo towards Systemic Lupus Erythematosus disease activity Index (SLEDAI)-2K score, IL-17/IL-10 ratio and CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+T-regulator levels in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients. The current study was designed as a single-center double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial. The participants were voluntarily recruited 18-55 years old SLE patients diagnosed based on SLICC criteria, with mild to moderate disease activity, were clinically stable for ≥ 4 months (on prednison ≤ 20 mg/day or equivalent) and willingly ceased vitamin D and probiotic consumption during the trial study. Participants were randomized into two groups receiving seluang fish oil and synbiotics supplementation, or placebo. Evaluations were conducted on week 4, 8 and 12 for clinical symptoms, side effects and adherence. IL-17/IL-10 ratio and CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+T-regulator levels were evaluated at the beginning and at the end of the 12 week trial for analysis.
NCT06586138
The predictors of objective impaired alertness assessed by Maintenance of Wakefulness Tests (MWT) are poorly understood. Identifying such predictors are essential from a clinical point of view and from a pathophysiological perspective, to better understand the determinants of residual Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) and the complex link between subjective and objective impairments. Also, the objective of this study is to describe psychological but also sociological and professional factors associated with Maintenance of Wakefulness Tests results.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus for lupus nephritis under actual-use.
NCT06351878
A validation study has been designed to assess the performance of a home sleep test device, TipTraQ, for screening sleep apnea. The study involves participants wearing the TipTraQ device on their fingertip during a traditional sleep test, known as polysomnography (PSG), conducted in a sleep center. The performance of the device will then be evaluated by comparing the results from the TipTraQ system with those from the traditional sleep test.
NCT05324267
Introduction: Sleep disorders are a growing concern for public health, being related, among others, to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases or poorer cognitive functioning. In addition, these might have a possible impact on aspects related to personal motivation and quality of life. However, few studies have analyzed the possible determinants of sleep quality in the adult population as a whole, establishing patterns based on these. Objective: To evaluate the determinants of sleep quality in a representative sample of the general adult population aged 25 to 65 years old and to establish patterns of sleep quality based on lifestyles, psychological factors, morbidities and biological markers. Methodology: Design: This is a descriptive observational, cross-sectional study that will include a representative sample of 500 people aged 25 to 65 years old from the city of Salamanca (Spain) selected by random sampling stratified by age and sex. Study variables: A visit lasting approximately 90 minutes will be carried out. The determinants of sleep quality will be assessed using both objective and self-reported methods. Variables related to life styles will be assessed: physical activity, diet and toxic habits including tobacco smoking or alcohol use. Morbidity data will also be collected, and psychological factors such as anxiety will also be assessed. Serum melatonin levels will be determined as a biological marker related to sleep quality.
NCT04876482
Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSA) is a kind of sleep disorder. The symptoms are intermittent, partial or complete upper airway collapse, seriously impacting oxygen saturation and oxidative stress. Some patients choose to do upper airway surgeries, but the success rate is only 60-70%. The symptoms might relapse because of aging and gaining weights. The purpose of our study is to compare the effect of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and oropharyngeal rehabilitation (OPR) on patients after TORS. Methods: Participants above 20 years old who are newly diagnosed with mild to severe OSA (Apnea-hypopnea Index \>5/h), and the physician will explain the treatment programs to every subject in clinic. Expected results: The hypothesis of this study is the success rate of surgery will be enhance by increasing tongue and jaw-opening muscle strength after OPR. The biomarkers of cardiovascular disease may decrease and both the collapse of upper airway and sleep quality may be improved after TORS and OPR.

NCT06642194
This study to examine the effects of implementation sunnah on sleeping on sleep quality, sleep time receiving a slow stroke back massage on fatigue and quality of life among participants undergoing maintenance hemodialysis will be applied. The study will be conducted at the hemodialysis unit of a medical center in a central part of Indonesia. To determine the sample size at a 95% confidence level and 80% test power, with a mean difference of at least 0.72 and a standard deviation of 1.22 in the intervention group and 1.22 in the control group, based on the study of \[17\] and according to the sample size formula, we determined a requirement of 205participants in each group. Forty participants were recruited and allocated to either the experimental group (n=25) or the control group (n = 25). Participants will be recruited if they were: (i) 18 years of age or over; (ii) under- going hemodialysis for a minimum of three months; (iii) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis; (iv) diagnosed with a maximum of two comorbidities; (v) affiliated to Islam; and (vi) not hearing-impaired. Participants were excluded if they had, (i) muscle problems, and (3) unstable vital signs. A thorough review of participant charts will be performed to confirm they met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants then will be randomly assigned to two different groups based on their hemodialysis schedule. The measurement of demographic and illness-related characteristics; the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-fatigue (FACIT-fatigue) and Pitssburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) will be conducted at the baseline and after the fourth week. The FACIT-fatigue scale was used to measure participant fatigue. FACIT-fatigue has 13 items to assess fatigue and its impact on functioning and daily activities in a number of chronic diseases, with five-point response options from 0 to 4. The total score ranges from 0 to 52, where a higher total score reflects less fatigue. The items include tiredness, listlessness, weakness, lack of energy, and impact on daily. In the study, we will use a validated Indonesian version of FACIT-fatigue. This version has been tested on 52 participants by Sihombing et al 2016 with CKD and has good internal reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.62 (20). The PSQI has been translated and tested for validity and reliability by Setyowati \& Chung (2021). The Cronbach alpha for Indonesian version of PSQI is 0.72 which means that the Indonesian version of PSQI has adequate reliability (21).
