Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether individuals with chronic insomnia disorder have a higher degree of physiologic arousal (resulting in their trouble sleeping) than good sleepers. The primary goal is to perform a rigorous quantitative assessment of physiologic hyper-arousal across two domains (autonomic nervous system and neurophysiology) in patients with chronic primary insomnia as compared to good sleepers matched for sex, age, body mass index (BMI) and race/ethnicity.
This is a multicenter, multiple dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, Bayesian adaptive, dose response study in subjects with chronic insomnia. Subjects will be randomized to 1 of 6 doses of E2006 (1 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, or 25 mg) or placebo.
The purposes of this study is to examine the feasibility of implementing an internet-based treatment for insomnia among veterans with substance use disorders, some with co-morbid serious mental illness, and to develop potential methods to support and encourage veterans while they self-administer this treatment. Our hypotheses are that the implementation of an internet-based therapy will be feasible and that a method of support can be devised, and tested in the future.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an herb called chamomile can help to treat insomnia (difficulty in going to sleep or getting enough sleep) by increasing the amount of time that you sleep and/or improving the quality of your sleep. The study will also be looking at the effect of chamomile on day time fatigue and functioning.
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose response of Ramelteon, once daily (QD), in Japanese subjects with Chronic Insomnia
Insomnia is a prevalent public health problem affecting large segments of the population on an occasional, recurrent, or chronic basis. Persistent insomnia is associated with impairments in daytime functioning, reduced quality of life, and increased health-care costs. Despite evidence that cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) is an effective and well accepted treatment for insomnia, a significant proportion of individuals do not respond adequately to this treatment. Hence, there is a need to identify the active therapy components and mechanisms of change in order to develop more effective therapeutic approaches and optimize outcomes. The specific aims of the proposed study are to (a) evaluate the effects of behavioral versus cognitive therapies for insomnia and associated daytime impairment, (b) investigate the mechanisms of change and, (c) examine the impact of insomnia therapies on psychiatric conditions commonly associated with insomnia (anxiety disorders and depression). A sample of 186 adults with chronic insomnia will be recruited from two sites (Laval University and University of California, Berkeley). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: (a) behavior therapy (BT; n = 62), (b) cognitive therapy (CT; n = 62), or (c) cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT; n = 62). Measures of outcome (sleep/insomnia, daytime functioning) will be administered at baseline, end of treatment, and at 6- and 12-month follow up. Measures of mechanisms of change (maladaptive sleep habits, unhelpful beliefs, sleep-related worry) will be administered at baseline, after the 4th and 8th therapy sessions, and at the end of treatment. It is expected that (1) BT and CBT will be more effective for improving sleep, relative to CT, (2) CT and CBT will be more effective for reducing daytime functional impairment, relative to BT and (3)CT will be more effective than BT in reducing comorbid psychiatric disorders. The public health significance of the proposed study is that it will provide useful information to improve our understanding of insomnia and to enhance efficacy and efficiency of therapeutic approaches for a prevalent and costly health problem. The long-term objective is to contribute to the development and dissemination of evidence-based treatments for chronic insomnia and its common comorbidities.
The purpose of this study is to adapt and test the effects of a 4-week behavioral treatment that targets chronic insomnia (lasting >1 month) in service members returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), finalizing a treatment manual.
