Official title Effect of Melatonin on Sleep Patterns of Resident Trainees During Night Float Shift
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05701969
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Anesthesiology residency requires extended and overnight shifts, which may negatively impact the quantity and quality of sleep. Previous studies have investigated the effect of night float shift work on anesthesiology resident sleep and performance and demonstrated that total sleep quantity and time spent in deep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep were significantly reduced during night float and did not return to baseline after 3 nights of recovery.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
