Sleep Disturbances in Neurobehaviorally Challenged Children with Sickle Cell Disease
- Authors
- Valerie E. RogersEboni I. Lance
- Description
Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) experience neurodevelopmental decline over time. They also tend to have short duration, poor quality sleep and elevated fatigue levels. This study measured sleep via actigraphy over one week and cognitive and behavioral measures in 19 children and adolescents with SCD. Aged 7-18 years, the majority of participants were referred for neurodevelopmental testing...

Sleep, circadian rhythms and fatigue in children with CNS tumors hospitalized for high dose chemotherapy
- Authors
- Valerie E. RogersBelinda Mandrell
- Description
This study tested a sleep promotion intervention (randomized controlled trial) in children with recently diagnosed central nervous system tumors admitted to the hospital for high dose chemotherapy in preparation for autologous stem cell rescue. We hypothesized that disturbed sleep of hospitalized pediatric oncology patients would be reduced by altering the hospital sleep environment. Therefore, a randomized,...

Circadian Rest-Activity Rhythms in Children with Leukemia on Dexamethasone
- Authors
- Valerie E. RogersBelinda Mandrell
- Description
This study measured circadian activity rhythms (CAR) and fatigue in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on maintenance chemotherapy during the 5 days prior to a pulse of dexamethasone and the 5 days after the start of dexamethasone. CAR was measured via an actigraph worn continuously for 10 days. Fatigue was measured at 4 time points. The fatigue measures used for this study...

Circadian rhythms, fatigue and bright light therapy in adolescent cancer survivors
- Authors
- Valerie E. Rogers
- Description
This 2-phase study explored the differences in sleep and circadian activity rhythms between adolescents who were within 5 years of completing treatment for any type of cancer and healthy, age-matched controls; and trialed a morning bright light therapy intervention to gather preliminary evidence of its safety, feasibility and outcomes.
