结局指标

主要结局

Change in sleep quality, as assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

时间窗: Baseline, week 5, week 9

The PSQI is a 9-question instrument used to measure the quality and patterns of sleep in adults. Scoring of the answers is based on a 0 to 3 scale, whereby 3 reflects the negative extreme on the Likert Scale. A global sum of "5"or greater indicates a "poor" sleeper.

次要结局

  • Improvement in sleep quality, as assessed by the Huntington's disease (HD) sleep questionnaire(Baseline, week 5, week 9)
  • Improvement in daytime somnolence, as evaluated by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)(Baseline, week 5, week 9)
  • Improvement in self-perceived cognitive function, as assessed by the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders questionnaire (NeuroQOLv2.0) Cognition Function - Short Form(Baseline, week 5, week 9)
  • Improvement in global cognitive functioning, as assessed by the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA)(Baseline, week 5, week 9)
  • Improvement in quality of life, as evaluated by the Huntington's Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (HDQoL)(Baseline, week 5, week 9)
