Sleep Disorders in Patients With Suspected Lung Cancer Before and After Thoracic Surgery

April 14, 2022 updated by: Koç University

Sleep Disorders in Patients With Suspected Lung Cancer Before and After Thoracic Surgery: A Multicenter, Observational, Prospective Cohort Study

The main aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the occurrence of sleep disorders in patients undergoing thoracic surgery due to the preliminary diagnosis of lung cancer. Secondary aims include anxiety, depressive mood and functional outcomes before and 3 months after the intervention.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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.

Detailed Description

Cancer surgery is one of the traumas that affect human life, starting from diagnostic procedures, along with the recovery process. Although 5-year survival in lung cancer has increased to 60%, there is a general prejudice that lung cancer has a poor prognosis. A preliminary diagnosis of a such condition has consequently a negative effect on the mood and sleep patterns of the patients, starting already from the beginning of the diagnostic procedures. In our study, we want to evaluate the occurrence of sleep disorders, anxiety, depressive mood and functional outcomes before and 3 months after the surgical intervention. This would also help us to better identify the patients in need for professional support for sleep disorders as well as psychiatric conditions, and thus, a better management of patients with lung cancer.

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.

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
Change from baseline in Functional Outcome of Sleep Questionnaire scores
Time Frame: 3 months
Sleep related quality of life. Score range: 5-20 points, with higher scores indicating better functional status.
3 months
Change from baseline in Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores
Time Frame: 3 months
Excessive daytime sleepiness. Score range: 0-24 points, with higher scores indicating greater daytime sleepiness. Scores ≥11 are generally considered to be abnormal, or positive for excessive daytime sleepiness.
3 months
Change from baseline in Berlin Questionnaire scores
Time Frame: 3 months
High-risk Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Patients can be classified into High Risk or Low Risk based on their responses to the individual items and their overall scores in the symptom categories.
3 months
Change from baseline in STOP-BANG questionnaire scores
Time Frame: 3 months

High-risk Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Score range: 0-8 points, patients with a STOP-Bang score of 0 to 2 can be classified as low risk for moderate to severe OSA whereas those with a score of 5 to 8 can be classified as high risk for moderate to severe OSA.

The STOP-BANG is an assessment tool used to help diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnea
3 months
Change from baseline in Insomnia questionnaire scores
Time Frame: 3 months
Insomnia questionnaire. Score range: 0-28 points, with higher scores indicating greater insomnia severity.
3 months
Change from baseline in Restless Legs Syndrome questionnaire scores
Time Frame: 3 months
Restless Leg Syndrome questionnaire. Score range: 0-4 points, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms
3 months

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
Change from baseline in Zung Self-rating Depression Scale scores
Time Frame: 3 months
Zung Self-rating Depression Scale. Score range: 0-80 points, most people with depression score between 50 and 69, while a score of 70 and above indicates severe depression.
3 months
Change from baseline in Beck Anxiety Inventory scores
Time Frame: 3 months
Self-rating anxiety scale. Score range: 0-63 points, a total score of 0 - 7 is interpreted as a "Minimal" level of anxiety; 8 - 15 as "Mild"; 16 - 25 as "Moderate", and; 26 - 63 as "Severe".
