Test-retest reliability of the wakefulness test in sleepy participants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is testing how reliable a test called the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) is for measuring daytime sleepiness. It looks at different groups: people with sleep apnea, people with narcolepsy, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if the MWT gives consistent results when repeated.

This study looks at how well treatment for sleep apnea reduces sleepiness and accident risk in people who are newly diagnosed. It involves a daytime test called the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test to measure how alert you are.
This study is looking at how common and how severe excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia) is in children and teenagers with various sleep and developmental conditions. If your child has one of these conditions and struggles with sleepiness, they may be able to join to help doctors better understand and treat it.
This study will collect information from people with suspected sleep apnea who feel very sleepy during the day. If you are 18 or older and about to have a sleep study, you may be able to help researchers learn more about this condition.
This study looks at sleep inertia (the grogginess you feel after waking up) in people with major depression. It uses a simple reaction-time test to understand how depression affects waking up.
This study looks for a biological marker of severe daytime sleepiness in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who haven't started breathing machine treatment yet. It may help doctors better understand and treat sleepiness in the future.
This study tests if a light therapy device can help reduce daytime sleepiness in people who are already using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea but still feel tired. It involves MRI scans and regular check-ins over two years.
