PRETERM SKIN CONTACT EFFECTS OF ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIC SLEEP

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。《早产儿皮肤接触对电生理睡眠的影响》父母研究的目的是通过对32-41周孕后住院早产儿进行随机对照临床试验，检验SSC组中与改善睡眠有关的几个假说和研究问题，以确定母亲和早产儿皮肤接触对电生理睡眠的影响。研究参与者将被分成两组-60名对照受试者在整个预试和测试期间都呆在孵化器里，60名SSC受试者在预试期间呆在孵化器里，并在测试期间接受SSC。一名睡眠技术人员将安装电极并收集大约6个小时的脑电数据。该方案最初于2002年4月10日获得IRB批准，并一直在积累研究对象。研究人员现在利用GCRC空间在40周内进行1次门诊访问，以收集仅10名受试者的纵向脑电数据。收集10个受试者的飞行员数据是为了看看在那个时间点是否有任何可测量的差异。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of the parent study "Preterm Skin Contact Effects on Electrophysiologic Sleep" is to determine the effect of skin-to-skin contact (SSC) between mother and preterm infant on electrophysiologic-based sleep by conducting a randomized controlled clinical trial with 32-41 weeks postconception age (PCA) hospitalized premature infants to test several hypotheses and research questions related to improved sleep in the SSC group. The study participants will be divided into two groups-60 control subjects will stay in the incubator throughout the pretest and test periods and 60 SSC subjects will be in the incubator during pretest and receive SSC during the test period. A sleep technician will attach electrodes and collect EEG data for about 6 hours. This protocol was originally IRB-approved on 4/10/02 and has been accruing subjects. The investigator now utilizes GCRC space to conduct 1 outpatient visit at 40 weeks to collect longitudinal EEG data on just 10 subjects. The collection of pilot data on 10 subjects is to see if there are any measurable differences at that time point.
