New treatment option for Shift-work Disorder
Official title Role of Sleep Reactivity in Shift Work Disorder
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05424406
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this project is to test sleep reactivity as an independent cause of Shift Work Disorder (SWD). The primary hypothesis is that those with high sleep reactivity will show persistent SWD symptoms after experimental reduction of circadian misalignment, which will then be mitigated with CBT.
