Previous research has shown the efficacy of (combinations of) individual components of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), namely sleep hygiene education, sleep optimization, stimulus control therapy, deactivation/relaxation training, and cognitive therapy. However, their relative effects, i.e., their effects in direct comparison with each other, are yet to be assessed. In this pilot study, a smartphone and web application developed to treat insomnia using these treatment components will be tested. Two future studies will investigate the components' relative efficacy in order to identify the most effective component or combination of components for digitized treatment of chronic insomnia by means of the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), and verify this intervention's effect in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
Between 50-80 percent of patients in psychiatry have insomnia-type sleep problems. In addition to reduced quality of life and impaired function, sleep problems can aggravate other psychiatric problems and increase the risk of relapse into, for example, depression. According to international guidelines, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) should be used as the first choice for treatment of insomnia. In practice, however, it is very uncommon for psychiatric patients to be offered CBT-i, instead most are treated with sleep medications. There is also a lack of research studies evaluating CBT-i in regular clinical practice. This pilot study investigated the feasibility of a group treatment with CBT-i at a psychiatric outpatient clinic in Stockholm for patients with depression, bipolar disorder II, anxiety syndrome and PTSD. Changes in symptoms of insomnia, depression, and anxiety after treatment were also investigated. Patients with self-perceived sleep problems were offered a six-session group treatment based on CBT-i. The primary outcome was clinical feasibility, defined as: the influx of patients sufficient to start at least one group per semester (at least 8 patients); at least half of included patients participate in the first session; patients participate in at least half of the sessions; less than half of the patients drop out of treatment; group leaders find the treatment manual credible, easy to use and want to continue working with it after the study is completed. Secondary outcomes were changes in insomnia symptoms, and changes in symptoms of depression and anxiety.
A prospective observational crossover study of 160 consenting adult patients who underwent pain management. For insomnia treatment, each patient ingested different prescribed doses of Zopiclone or Clonidine on alternate nights. Each patient used a special validated sleep diary to collect data including pain score, sleep scores, sleep duration, sleep medication dose, and adverse effects. Each patient completed the diary for 3 continuous weeks. Pain was measured using the numeric pain rating scale. Sleep score was measured using the Likert sleep scale. A change in the pain or sleep scores by 2-points was considered significant.
Infants often have sleep challenges. Most of these challenges in otherwise healthy children and due to behavioral insomnia. The goal for infants is to become independent sleepers by learning the process of self-soothing. This study hopes to determine if technology based on sensors is able to help teach self-soothing to infants.
This will be a prospective multi-center controlled trial of 100 patients conducted to assess the real-world effectiveness of a mobile-delivered, prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) device delivering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia using a novel patient-centered data-sharing platform with linkage to Fitbit for 61 weeks
This project will examine changes in metabolism and depressive symptoms after receiving CBT-I in 30 subjects with insomnia disorder and MDD.
The prevalence of chronic insomnia is 13.3% in France in 2019 (8.9 million). The consequences for these people are multiple: drowsiness, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, anxiety. Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is today the reference treatment recommended by the "Haute Autorité de Santé" and the American College of Physicians for chronic insomnia. Today, however, few patients use CBT treatment due to the lack of trained practitioners, the cost of non-reimbursed sessions and the time and involvement that these sessions require. Several clinical trials have shown beneficial effects of hypnotherapy on sleep disorders. The hypothesis of this work is that the use of hypnosis in virtual reality improves sleep time in patients suffering from insomnia disorders.
Insomnia is common in patients with co-morbid mental illness and sleeping difficulties is a frequent complaint in most psychological disorders. Mental illness may cause sleep problems, however, sleep problems like insomnia, may also cause or exacerbate mental illness. Insomnia may aggravate symptoms of depression, anxiety and fatigue, and reduce daily functioning in patients with co-morbid insomnia and mental illness. This project aims to evaluate a course offered to patients with insomnia and mental illness at Diakonhjemmet Hospital. The course is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, a documented treatment for insomnia.
This pilot-feasibility study of a cluster parallel randomized design comparing CBT-i against usual care (UC) was performed at two primary health care centers in Majorca, Spain. Patients were included if they were 18 to 65 years-old; had diagnoses of chronic insomnia according to the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI more than 8) and had insomnia longer than 3 months; and did or did not use a hypnotic medication. 25 GPs and nurses and 32 patients were randomly allocated to two groups: The outcome of the trial was improving the quality of sleep. Other primary outcomes on feasibility and applicability of the intervention were collected through nominal groups. Description of usual care was described through previous studies. Moreover we assessed recruitment process, compliance with the intervention sessions, and patient's retention.
