Filter by:Acute insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders. Online cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (e-aid Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, eCBTI) has received wide attention in recent years. Foreign countries already have some eCBTI treatment tool, shown similar efficacy as standard CBTI, but how eCBTI can help in acute insomnia require further exploration and examination. In this study, Investigators will establish eCBTI treatment tool to test whether eCBTI can reduce the conversion of acute insomnia to chronic insomnia disorder; and whether they can improve insomnia symptoms, sleep-related symptoms, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and quality of life
Cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has been shown to be an effective treatment for insomnia in multiple populations, including women during pregnancy and postpartum. Online CBT-I has also been shown to be effective and comparable to in-person CBT-I, and shows promise as an accessible treatment alternative to in-person CBT-I for pregnant women experiencing insomnia. As the harmful consequences of insomnia or sleep disturbances have been well documented during late pregnancy, this randomized-controlled trial will compare the efficacy of both in-person and online CBT-I on pregnant women with insomnia to a wait-list control group.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for insomnia conducted face-to-face with a therapist versus CBT for insomnia conducted using Internet-based videoconference technology.
This study will examine the use of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acupressure in treating insomnia in Chinese adults. The main components of CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) includes psychoeducation, sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, and relaxation. CBT-I is widely used in western countries but it fails to address patient preference among Chinese adults with insomnia, as demonstrated in a previous study examining the subjective experience of chronic insomnia in Hong Kong Chinese adults. The study revealed that Chinese adults showed distrust in hypnotics and preferred traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which was believed to be more natural. In order to maximize the therapeutic effects of psychological interventions for insomnia, integrative medicine with a combination of CBT-I and TCM could be an alternative to address insomnia in the Chinese population. Acupressure, a non-invasive therapy, is commonly used in TCM. It is suggested that acupressure can induce relaxation and improve sleep quality. Some studies have demonstrated the separate efficacy of CBT-I and acupressure in treating insomnia. However, few studies have examined the effect of their combination.
This research study is evaluating a six-session online program designed to help insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep) in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.
The primary objective of this proposed three-year (June 01, 2018 to May 31,2020) project is to verify the effect of 'Mindfulness Based Joyful Sleep' (MBJS) intervention on young and middle-aged individuals with insomnia in China and preliminarily explore inflammatory response for the intervention of insomnia applied by it. Previous researches show that Mindfulness-Based Interventions may relieve insomnia, it is hypothesized that MBJS will be an effective, feasible and affordable insomnia intervention program in China.
Insomnia is a common medical condition that has a deleterious effect on emotional status, health-related quality of life, and has been associated with hospitalizations and all-cause mortality. Recently hospitalized patients who are recuperating in their homes would find it difficult to return for weekly visits with a clinical psychologist and therefore could benefit from the convenience of CBT-I treatment administered in the comfort of their homes via the wireless iPAD and video chat software. In patients who are recently discharged from the hospital, we wish to assess whether telemedicine-based CBT-I is comparable to conventional office-based CBT-I in the efficacy for treating insomnia. Research aiming to improve understanding of whether insomnia represents a modifiable risk factor for re-hospitalizations in patients who are high utilizers of healthcare services is an important area of future research.
Obstructive sleep apnea is commonly reported in Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, which can potentiate symptoms of anxiety and depression, daytime symptoms and worsen nightmares. Continuous positive airway pressure is the most effective therapy but adherence to treatment is suboptimal. The overarching theme of the proposal is to compare usual care to Ramelteon, in a randomized, clinical trial, investigating the effectiveness of physiological versus pharmacological intervention on sleep quality of life, insomnia severity and CPAP adherence.
Sleep problems are very common in children with ADHD, with a prevalence rate as high as 73%, and often pose significant challenges and stress to the families. Sleep problems in ADHD children are strongly associated with the exacerbation of daytime symptoms, impaired physical health, and poor parental mental health. The present study is a randomised controlled trial to compare the effects of a parent-based sleep intervention for children with ADHD (aged 6-12). Eligible participants will be randomised to either intervention (two face-to-face consultation sessions and one follow-up phone call) or waiting-list control condition. Assessments will be conducted at pre-treatment (baseline), one-week after the intervention (post-treatment), and 3 months after the intervention.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the relative efficacy of two non-pharmacological interventions for insomnia in Veterans suffering from chronic mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
