A Two-Question survey could help doctors catch sleep disorders earlier
NCT ID NCT03018912
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a very short sleep survey, called the Sleep Vital Sign, can help primary care doctors recognize sleep disorders like sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless leg syndrome. About 1,260 adults visiting their Kaiser Permanente doctor will fill out the survey, which asks how many days a week they are satisfied with their sleep and how often sleepiness is a problem. The goal is to see if this quick tool improves how often sleep problems are identified compared to usual care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this simple survey could help primary care doctors identify sleep disorders earlier and track treatment progress.
- What could go wrong
- The survey is brief and may not capture all sleep issues. It is being tested in one health system, so results may not apply everywhere.
