This trial tests whether an interactive digital art program helps children aged 7-12 feel more relaxed and less stressed while in the intensive care unit. It is designed for children who are awake, stable, and able to interact.
This study tests whether different types of lighting in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can affect how premature babies develop and use energy. It may help improve the health of premature infants during their hospital stay.
This study looks at how sleep and body rhythms are affected when a child is in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It may help doctors find ways to improve sleep for children who are in the hospital.
This trial tests whether controlled bright light in the ICU can improve confusion and the sleep-wake rhythm in adults who develop delirium. If it works, it may help patients become more clear-minded sooner while they recover in intensive care.
This study tests whether helping ICU patients sleep better and keeping their body clock on a normal day-night rhythm can improve recovery after surgery.
This trial studies whether a structured light-exposure routine can improve symptoms like fatigue and how survivors feel day to day. It is aimed at children and teens who have recovered from a non–high-risk type of brain tumor and have mild to moderate fatigue.
