Exploring the Efficacy of a Breathing Training Intervention in Patients With Emotionally Regulated Sleep Disorders 188

Active, not recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07495423 is an interventional study for Sleep Disorder (Disorder), Mood Disorders that is active, not recruiting. It started on 11 July 2024 with plans to enroll 188 participants. Led by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, it is expected to complete by 1 June 2027. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 27 March 2026.
Brief Summary
In recent years, the incidence of sleep disorders, especially insomnia, has been rising. Insomnia can directly lead to damage to patients' daytime functions, such as daytime sleepiness, inattention, etc., affecting people's normal work and life. Insomnia is related to dysfunction of multiple systems such as the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, endocrine systems, digestion and breathing, and plays a vital r...Show More

respiratory training intervention
The study group received a two-week breathing training program in addition to routine clinical care. The program consisted of three exercises rotated daily: pursed-lip breathing involving slow exhalation through pursed lips at a 2:1 exhalation-to-inhalation ratio, practiced for 15 minutes three times daily; balloon blowing requiring patients to slowly inflate five 1000ml balloons within 15 minutes; and breathing trai...Show More
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Sleep Onset Latency
Time from lights-off to objectively defined sleep onset determined by sleep staging using the SOMNOmedics HST device, reported in minutes.
After 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
Wake After Sleep Onset
Total duration of wakefulness occurring after sleep onset during the night, reported in minutes.
After 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
Sleep Efficiency
Percentage of total sleep time relative to total time in bed during overnight monitoring, reported as a percentage (%).
After 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
Total Sleep Time
Total duration of sleep recorded during overnight monitoring using the SOMNOmedics HST device, reported in minutes.
After 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Low-Frequency Power of Heart Rate Variability
Low-frequency power component of heart rate variability measured using 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography, reflecting combined sympathetic and parasympathetic activity, reported in milliseconds squared (ms²).
After 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
High-Frequency Power of Heart Rate Variability
High-frequency power component of heart rate variability measured using 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography, primarily reflecting parasympathetic (vagal) activity, reported in milliseconds squared (ms²).
After 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
Standard Deviation of Normal-to-Normal Intervals
Standard deviation of normal-to-normal (NN) R-R intervals derived from 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography as a time-domain measure of overall heart rate variability, reported in milliseconds (ms).
After 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) assesses sleep quality, latency, efficiency, disturbances, medication use, and daytime dysfunction with a total score ranging from 0 to 21, where higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality.
after 2 weeks, after 1 month, after 2 months, after 3 months
The Insomnia Severity Index
The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) evaluates the severity of insomnia, distress, and impact on daytime functioning, scoring from 0 to 28, with higher scores indicating more severe insomnia.
after 2 weeks, after 1 month, after 2 months, after 3 months
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) covers attention, executive functions, memory, language, visuospatial abilities, abstraction, calculation, and orientation, with a total score from 0 to 30, lower scores suggesting worse cognitive function.
after 2 weeks, after 1 month, after 2 months, after 3 months
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) assesses orientation, memory, attention, calculation, recall, and language, with a total score from 0 to 30, lower scores indicating worse cognitive function.
after 2 weeks, after 1 month, after 2 months, after 3 months
The Hamilton Anxiety Scale
The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) measures anxiety's somatic and psychological symptoms, scoring from 0 to 56, with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety symptoms.
after 2 weeks, after 1 month, after 2 months, after 3 months
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) evaluates depressive symptoms across mood, cognition, physical, and behavioral aspects, with a total score from 0 to 52, higher scores indicating more severe depressive symptoms.
after 2 weeks, after 1 month, after 2 months, after 3 months
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) assesses daytime sleepiness, scoring from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating more severe sleepiness.
after 2 weeks, after 1 month, after 2 months, after 3 months
