Primary | Effect of Bright Light Therapy on Sleep Disturbances Compared to Dim Red Light in Patients With Advanced Cancer Followed at a Palliative Care Outpatient Clinic at a Comprehensive Cancer Center | Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) measured at baseline and two weeks. The PSQI is a validated tool for insomnia, an effective instrument for measuring the quality and patterns of sleep using a 19-item questionnaire. It differentiates "poor" from "good" sleep by measuring seven areas: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction over the last month. Each area is rated from 0-3 with the higher score reflecting more severe sleep complaints. The addition of all scores permits the analysis of the participant's overall sleep experience. The PSQI global score ranges from 0 to 21, with a score of 5 or greater indicating significant sleep disturbance. | Baseline and Day 14 |
