Clinical Trial Summary

This study seeks to investigate an evidence-based, manualized, behavioral health intervention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), in individuals with primary brain tumors (PBT) and insomnia. Our project will assess the feasibility and acceptability of recruitment, enrollment, data collection procedures, and retention of individuals with PBT and insomnia in the behavioral health intervention, CBT-I, and investigate the potential benefits of CBT-I within this at-risk and understudied population. In the long term, the goals are to expand treatment options for neuro-oncology patients and improve their mission readiness and overall wellbeing.
