About this trial

The purpose of this study was to understand the effectiveness of intermittent hypoxia in the treatment of primary insomnia.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Intermittent Hypoxia

    Other intervention

    The intermittent hypoxia protocol refers to four cycles of 5 minutes hypoxia inhaling interval by 5 minutes normoxia, which is performed twice a day (at least 6 hours apart) in 7 days.

  • Sham Intermittent Hypoxia

    Other intervention

    The sham intermittent hypoxia protocol refers to 45 minutes normoxia inhaling, which is performed twice a day (at least 6 hours apart) in 7 days.

Treatment groups

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The polysomnography between IH group and control group

Before and after the experiment, polysomnography was performed on both the experimental and control groups to record sleep latency, total sleep duration, as well as the duration and proportion of each sleep stage.

Time frame
Baseline and Day 7

Secondary outcomes

1

Concentration of serum parameters between IH group and control group

Measure tumor markers, IL-6, IL-1β, and other relevant indicators in both the experimental and control groups before and after the experiment.

Time frame
Baseline and Day 7
2

The score of Insomnia Severity Index(ISI)

The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) total score is included as a separate secondary outcome measure, with values on a scale ranging from 0 to 28, where higher scores indicate a worse outcome (greater severity of insomnia).

Time frame
Baseline and Day 7
3

The score of the Flinders Fatigue Scale (FFS)

The Flinders Fatigue Scale (FFS) total score is included as a separate secondary outcome measure, with values on a scale ranging from 0 to 31, where higher scores indicate a worse outcome (greater fatigue severity).

Time frame
Baseline and Day 7
4

The scale of Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS)

The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) total score is included as a separate secondary outcome measure, with values on a scale ranging from 25 to 100, where higher scores indicate a worse outcome (higher levels of anxiety).

Time frame
Baseline and Day 7
