Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Week 7
The ISI consists of 7 questions, each rated on a 0-4 scale. The range of scores on the ISI is 0-28, with a score of ≥ 10 suggesting clinical insomnia. The lower the score the less severe insomnia.
Change from Baseline to Week 7

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Week 7
The PSQI consists of 9 items within 7 sleep categories. The 7 sleep category scores are summed to form a single global score ranging from 0-21. A global score of >5 reflects poor sleep quality.
Change from Baseline to Week 7
Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Week 7
The MFIS assesses the impact of fatigue on daily activities for the month prior. The MFIS consists of 21 items with 3 subscales: physical, cognitive, and psychosocial. The score on the 21 items are scored with a range of 0-84 with a higher score indicating a greater impact of fatigue.
Change from Baseline to Week 7
Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Week 7
The FSS assesses the impact of fatigue on activities for the week prior and consists of 9 questions. The mean of the 9 scores is calculated with a range of 0-7.
Change from Baseline to Week 7
Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Week 7
Quality of life will be assessed using the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29). MSIS-29 is total of 29 items scale, with subscales of physical (20 items) and psychological (9 items). Responses computed in a range from 0-100, and higher scores indicating a worse quality of life due to physical and physiological impacts of MS.
Change from Baseline to Week 7
