1. A Study Using A Motion Device to Estimate Sleep Timing and Duration in Patients with Autonomic Dysfunction

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the sleep quality and fatigue complaints of adolescent orthostatic intolerance (OI) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) patients by objectively measuring sleep duration and timing with actigraphy. Sleep questionnaire will be administered to assess subjective sleep complaints and correlate them with objective findings.

2. A Study to Evaluate Touchless Monitoring Device for COVID-19 Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   1. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if a touchless monitoring platform may provide respiratory and other clinical data on subjects with COVID-19. 

   Eventually, this type of data may assist in the care of COVID-19 patients, reduce provider time in the hospital room, and provide a platform to monitor patient recovery at home.

    

    

    

3. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Somali-Americans

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to advance the understanding of obstructive sleep apnea as it relates to different ethnic origins as well as sex differences. The investigators will compare Somali patients with known obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to individuals without OSA, and to individuals of other ethnic/racial origins to determine the risk factors (genetic and/or physiologic) associated with developing cardiovascular diseases. This will help the investigators to understand the unique sleep pathology of individuals of African descent.

4. A Study to Evaluate Sleep in the PICU

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between various PICU environmental factors (i.e. luminance, noise level, temperature) and sleep duration and quality, as recorded by caregivers and nursing staff.

5. A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Effectiveness of V117957 in Subjects with Insomnia Associated with Alcohol Cessation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of V117957, compared to placebo, in subjects with alcohol use disorder (AUD) who experience insomnia associated with alcohol cessation.
