Improve sleep in nursing home residents with dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study aims to improve sleep quality for people in nursing homes who have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia and are having sleep problems. It uses a sleep-focused approach through staff “sleep huddles” and checks sleep patterns to see what helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
