Causes of sleep apnoea in people with and without multiple sclerosis (MS)

RESEARCH STUDY

Home ❯ Clinical Trials ❯ Causes of sleep apnoea in people with and without multiple sclerosis (MS)

The study aims to investigate:

The causes of sleep apnoea are different in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) compared to people without MS.

You can help our research if you:

  • Have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea (or suspected sleep apnoea).
  • Have no cardiovascular disease or neurological disorders other than MS
  • Are not pregnant or breast-feeding

If you take part in the study you would:

  • Visit NeuRA in Randwick 2 times over 2 weeks for overnight sleep studies
  • We will apply a range of stick on recording devices
  • Participate in awake breathing tests
  • Be monitored overnight
  • Some invasive nose, tongue and throat sensors will be used

The No Worries Trial

Researchers: Associate Professor Sylvia Gustin, Nell-Norman-Nott, Dr Negin Hesam- Shariati, Dr. Chelsey Wilks (University of Washington). Emerging evidence has shown that negative emotional states play a key role in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. The No Worries Trial will evaluate the effectiveness of a four-week internet-delivered Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills training to help chronic pain sufferers cope with painful, fearful, worrisome, anxious, and negative thoughts and emotions. Moreover, by having the DBT skills training online it is more accessible to those in remote communities, to those with restricted mobility, and more broadly it adds to the knowledge of internet-delivered therapies at a time when online is increasingly necessary to deliver treatment due to COVID-19.
