Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates the effects of remote interventions based on the exposure to one or more zeitgebers (i.e. adapted physical activity alone or combined with bright light exposure, or galvanic vestibular stimulation) performed several times a week during three months on older adults' sleep and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

More precisely, the main objective is to investigate the effects of interventions on objective sleep measures of older adults with a sleep complaint.

The main hypothesis is that the quantity and quality of sleep will be improved after the interventions in comparison to the active control group.

The second objective is to study the effects of these interventions on quality of life, physical condition, anxiety, depression and cognition.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Adapted Physical Activity (APA)

Participants receive a web-based adapted physical activity (APA) during 12 weeks, on the basis of three at-home sessions a week

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Adapted Physical Activity (APA)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The APA program lasts 12 weeks and consists in three one-hour at-home sessions a week (total of 36 sessions), including two aerobic dominant web-based sessions and one muscle strengthening self-guided session.

Adapted Physical Activity + Bright Light Exposure (APA + BLE)

Participants receive a web-based APA program during 12 weeks on the basis of three at-home sessions a week, supplemented by a bright light exposure (BLE) during 12 weeks, on the basis of five at-home sessions a week

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Adapted Physical Activity (APA)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The APA program lasts 12 weeks and consists in three one-hour at-home sessions a week (total of 36 sessions), including two aerobic dominant web-based sessions and one muscle strengthening self-guided session.

Bright Light Exposure (BLE)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Bright light exposure (BLE) consists in using lamps for light therapy during 12 weeks, at the rate of five one-hour at-home sessions a week.

Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS)

Participants receive Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) during two weeks, on the basis of five at-home sessions a week

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The GVS program lasts 2 weeks and consists in five 20-minutes at-home sessions a week (total of 10 sessions), using a portable galvanic stimulator.

Health Education program (HE)

Participants receive a web-based health education program (HE) during 14 weeks, on the basis of one at-home session a week

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Health Education program (HE)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The HE program lasts 14 weeks and consists in one one-hour at-home session a week (total of 14 sessions). This web-based intervention includes courses on general health (sleep habits, diet, physical activity, cardiovascular diseases, etc.).
