modafinil and Jet Lag

modafinil has been researched along with Jet Lag in 4 studies

Modafinil: A benzhydryl acetamide compound, central nervous system stimulant, and CYP3A4 inducing agent that is used in the treatment of NARCOLEPSY and SLEEP WAKE DISORDERS.
modafinil : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of armodafinil and (S)-modafinil. A central nervous system stimulant, it is used for the treatment of sleeping disorders such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnoea, and shift-work sleep disorder. The optical enantiomers of modafinil have similar pharmacological actions in animals.
2-[(diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide : A sulfoxide that is dimethylsulfoxide in which two hydrogens attached to one of the methyl groups are replaced by phenyl groups, while one hydrogen attached to the other methyl group is replaced by a carbamoyl (aminocarbonyl) group.

Trial Outcomes

Average of Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) of General Condition Ratings Across Days 1 and 2

"The PGI-S rating scale is the patient's assessment of their general condition. The subject rates their overall condition according to the 7 following categories: 1=normal (no sign of illness), 2=borderline ill, 3=mildly ill, 4=moderately ill, 5=markedly ill, 6=severely ill, and 7=among the most extremely ill. The term ill refers here to any symptoms of jet lag and overall feeling. Symptoms may include sleepiness, irritability, malaise, gastrointestinal disturbance, and level of performance. The average of PGI-S ratings across days 1 and 2 are presented here." (NCT00758498)

Change in State and Trait Anxiety Inventory Total Score From Baseline to Day 1

The State and Trait Anxiety Inventory is a validated self-reporting instrument used to assess anxiety in adults. The inventory consists of 2 scales, state anxiety, which evaluates how the subject feels currently (transient anxiety), and trait anxiety, which evaluates how the subject feels generally (general tendency towards anxiety). Each scale consists of 20 questions, and a higher score indicates greater anxiety. Scores range from 20 (no anxiety) to 80 (maximum anxiety). The change in total score from Baseline to Day 1 is presented here. (NCT00758498)

Mean Ratings From the Mean Sleep Latency of the Multiple Sleep Latency Tests (MSLT) at Baseline

MSLT measures the likelihood of falling asleep. Mean Sleep Latency measures the time to fall asleep (in minutes). On Treatment Days 1 and 2 the subject was instructed on 4 occasions to attempt to fall asleep. Each MSLT nap continued until 3 consecutive 30-sec epochs of stage 1 sleep were reached, or any 30 sec epoch of stage 2, 3, 4 or rapid eye movement sleep was reached. Each nap was terminated after 20 min if no sleep occurred. Sleep latency was measured from lights out to first epoch scored as sleep. Mean sleep latency from the MSLT at Baseline (Screening Day 2) is presented here. (NCT00758498)
