Trial Outcomes & Findings for Challenging the Inflammatory Response System in Insomnia Disorder (NCT NCT02261597)

NCT ID: NCT02261597

Last Updated: 2019-07-22

Results Overview

Inflammatory marker: Change in plasma levels of IL-6 (pg/mL).

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Target enrollment

44 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Baseline blood was obtained between 11am-12pm and prior to any Cold Pressor Tests (CPTs). Three CPTs were performed, with 1.5 hours between each one. The first CPT was done at 1pm. Blood draws were obtained 20min and 50 min after each CPT.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline blood was obtained between 11am-12pm and prior to any Cold Pressor Tests (CPTs). Three CPTs were performed, with 1.5 hours between each one. The first CPT was done at 1pm. Blood draws were obtained 20min and 50 min after each CPT.

Population: Data of 3 participants were excluded from analysis due to development of headache or Iv problems in the course of the experimental study day.

Inflammatory marker: Change in plasma levels of IL-6 (pg/mL).
