Filter by:This randomized controlled clinical trial will examine the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-) in patients with comorbid chronic widespread pain (CWP) and insomnia. Specific Aims: 1. To examine the clinical and health characteristics, including sleep, pain, fatigue, cognitive abilities, and cardiovascular health in patients with comorbid CWP and insomnia. 2. To examine changes in the primary clinical outcomes, including chronic pain, complaints of poor sleep, and fatigue compared to the waitlist control (WLC). 3. To examine changes in the secondary clinical outcomes, including mood, daytime functioning, cognitive functioning, and cardiovascular health compared WLC. 4. To examine the mechanistic variables, including arousal (heart rate variability, HRV), CS (thermal response) and neural plasticity (brain function and structure) - compared to WLC.
Chronic insomnia may contribute to the development and exacerbation of heart failure (HF), incident mortality and contributes to common and disabling symptoms (fatigue, dyspnea, anxiety, depression, excessive daytime sleepiness, and pain) and decrements in objective and subjective functional performance. The purposes of the study are to evaluate the sustained effects of CBT-I on insomnia severity, sleep characteristics, daytime symptoms, and functional performance over twelve months among patients who have stable chronic HF and chronic insomnia. The effects of the treatment on outcomes of HF (hospitalization, death) and costs of the treatment will also be examined. A total of 200 participants will be randomized to 4 bi-weekly group sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy for CBT-I (behavioral was to improve insomnia and sleep) or HF self-management education. Participants will complete wrist actigraph (wrist-watch like accelerometer) measures of sleep, diaries, reaction time, and 6 minute walk test distance. They will also complete self-report measures of insomnia, sleep, symptoms, and functional performance. In addition the effects on symptoms and function over a period of one year.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the management of chronic primary insomnia patients by a computer program guidance of behavioral and cognitive therapies for insomnia (BCT-I).
Persistent insomnia is highly prevalent complaint in cancer survivors, but is seldom satisfactorily addressed. The adaptation to cancer care of a validated, cost-effective intervention may offer a practicable solution. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effectiveness of homeopathy for insomnia.
This proposal will assess risks for transition from therapeutic hypnotic use to abuse in people with insomnia. The investigators will study a hypothesized at-risk sub-population, insomniacs with hyperarousal, and compare two hypnotics, a drug with mood effects, eszopiclone, versus one without mood effects, zolpidem.
Many Veterans of the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan struggle with chronic insomnia (trouble falling or staying asleep). Most current interventions for insomnia are time-consuming, making it difficult for this younger, working group of Veterans to use and benefit from these interventions. The investigators will assess whether Veterans find it helpful to use two health information technology tools, one for measuring participant sleep (the WatchPAT) and one for managing participant sleep (the CBTI Coach). The WatchPAT will measure physiological sleep in the Veteran participant's home. The CBTI Coach is a mobile health application used on the Veteran's mobile phone or tablet to teach skills that can reduce insomnia. The investigators will combine use of the WatchPAT with the CBTI Coach so Veterans can self-manage insomnia at home. Participants will record their physiological sleep and self-report on their sleep at home during a 6 week self-management program. The investigators will measure if Veterans find the tools helpful and easy to use, and which Veterans find the tools most helpful.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about people with insomnia disorder and cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment is difficulty with mental abilities such as thinking, knowing and remembering.
Chronic insomnia affects more than 25% of cancer survivors, a rate double that of the general population. The Pan-Canadian sleep guideline for adults with cancer recommends Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) as the best treatment. Major problems, however, are the lack of available CBT-I at cancer centers and the lack of information about possible side-effects of CBT-I. To address this issue, our study will evaluate the effectiveness and potential short-term side-effects of an online version of CBT-I. It is expected that when compared to cancer survivors who receive an online sleep education program, those who receive online CBT-I will experience improved sleep, mood, and quality of life, as well as reduced anxiety and fatigue.
The study will assess the safety, tolerability and feasibility of Lacrima investigational medical device vs. sham device in adult patients with chronic Insomnia
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective for insomnia in lung cancer survivors.
