Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
Sleep quality, measured with the quality of sleep (QOS) parameter of the Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (LSEQ).
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
The aim of the MATCH study is to investigate the effects of melatonin, temazepam and placebo on sleep quality among acutely hospitalized older patients with sleeping problems.
This study is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial in the Netherlands. A total of 663 patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 fashion to receive melatonin (n=221), temazepam (n=221) or placebo (n=221). The study population consists of acutely hospitalized patients aged 65 years and older, with new or aggravated sleeping problems for which an intervention is needed. Measurements will be collected at enrolment , daily during hospitalization (with a maximum of 10 treatment days) and at discharge. The primary outcome is sleep quality measured with the Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionanaire (LSEQ).
Doel van het onderzoek
Acutely hospitalized older patients frequently suffer from inadequate sleep. Insufficient sleep can lead to patient distress and delayed recovery from acute illness or a surgical procedure. Currently, no evidence-based treatments exist for sleeping problems in acutely hospitalized older patients. Benzodiazepines, such as temazepam, are regularly prescribed by physicians, although they have serious side effects; for older patients in particular. Melatonin is proposed as a safe alternative for sleeping problems in acutely hospitalized older patients, but the efficacy of melatonin is unclear in this population. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of melatonin, temazepam and placebo on sleep quality among acutely hospitalized older patients with sleeping problems.
