Filter by:Insomnia in adolescents and youth is a long-standing public health concern due to its high prevalence and association with various physical and mental health problems. Insomnia and psychiatric disorders are highly comorbid and intercorrelated in adolescents. Among all mental disorders, anxiety has been shown to be have high comorbidity with insomnia, affecting approximately 30% of individuals. CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) has been shown to be effective in improving sleep complaints and short-term improvement in mood while previous systematic reviews of interventional studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) interventions in treating insomnia, both as a primary condition and with other physical and/or mental health comorbidities. This study aims to compare the effect of CBT-I and CBT-I combined ACT in improving anxiety symptoms in youth.
The goal of this clinical study is to study sleep and its microstructure in neuropathic pain patients who have or who do not have a clinically significant sleep disturbance, before and during (after 1-month stabile dosage) pregabalin treatment. To find out whether reduced pain by pregabalin associates with improved sleep quality; to study, using resting state fMRI, brain network connectivity and the volume of the choroid plexus before and during pregabalin treatment (after dosage stable for one month) at baseline and during stabile treatment with pregabalin, and to compare the usability and reliability of sleep-related information collected with sleep diaries, actigraphy, iButtons, and ambulatory polysomnography in peripheral painful neuropathy patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is pregabalin more efficacious in neuropathic pain patients who suffer from insomnia compared to those with no clinically meaningful sleep disturbance? - Does sleep disturbance due to pain associate with brain network connectivity and may these changes be reversed by pregabalin treatment? Participants will - Fulfill e-questionnaires and keep sleep diary before and after 1month stabile pregabalin intervention - Before and after 1-month stabile pregabalin medication: 1-week Actiwatch monitoring, iButton (1 day and night), ambulatory polysomnography (1 night), brain fMRI. Researchers will compare patients with high ISI score patients to see if they benefit more from pregabalin treatment than those with low ISI score.
Some people experience a temporary change in behaviour and consciousness, that often involves a collapse and/or shaking limb movements. These are referred to as 'Dissociative seizures'. Those who experience such seizures have been found to also display high levels of dissociation, which can be described as a change in your conscious experience and may include gaps in your memory for events. It is thought that people who experience dissociative seizures also often have difficulties with their sleep. Having difficulties with sleep may make these seizures and the amount of dissociation an individual experiences worse. Greater dissociation may be additionally linked to worsening dissociative seizures. A psychological treatment for sleep difficulties called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi), has been found to be effective in reducing sleep difficulties. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does brief CBTi (bCBTi) improve sleep difficulties in those with dissociative seizures? 2. Does bCBTi reduce the frequency of dissociative seizures? 3. Does bCBTi reduce self-reported levels of dissociation in participants? 4. Does improving sleep difficulties lead to improvements in quality of life, mood and anxiety levels? 5. Is bCBTi a feasible intervention to administer in an inpatient setting? This study will investigate whether improving sleep by administering a brief version of CBTi leads to an improvement in levels of dissociation and dissociative seizure frequency. It will also investigate whether brief CBTi is a feasible treatment method for sleep difficulties in an inpatient setting. Participants who have dissociative seizures and sleep difficulties that could be diagnosed as insomnia will be randomly assigned to a baseline phase of 5, 7 or 9 days, where they will fill out daily questionnaires on their sleep, dissociation and number of seizures. They will then begin a 10-day intervention phase where they will attend two sessions of brief CBTi, whilst also completing daily measures. This will allow us to see whether their scores on the sleep and dissociation measures improve when the intervention begins. Participants will be asked to wear an Actiwatch during the night, to gather information on their movement levels during the night. Information on changes in quality of life, mood and anxiety levels following the sleep intervention will also be collected.
The goal of this clinical trial is to conduct a single-arm pilot trial of a brief cognitive-behavioral therapy-enhanced benzodiazepine deprescribing intervention in 20 older adults (aged ≥55 years) prescribed chronic benzodiazepines by their primary care clinicians.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) compared with digital patient education about insomnia for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The main questions it aims to answer are whether dCBT-I is effective in reducing insomnia severity in people with MS, whether dCBT-I is effective in reducing daytime fatigue, psychological distress, cognitive problems, medication use (hypnotic, sedative/anxiolytic and antidepressant), resource utilization and if these changes are mediated by improvements in insomnia severity and whether dCBT-I is feasible for people with MS
The Multi-center Trial to Improve Nocturia and Sleep in Older Adults (MINT) study is a randomized trial to determine and assess the efficacy of integrated treatment of coexisting nocturia and insomnia, as well as explore the effects of this treatment on quality of life.
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders and affects approximately 10 - 40% of the population across different age groups in Hong Kong. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first line treatment for adult insomnia due to its comparable effect to medication in short term but is more sustainable in the long run. However, only a few sufferers have received CBT-I, due to limited accessibility, lack of trained sleep therapists, time costing and geographical limitations. To increase CBT-I accessibility, different formats of CBT-I have been proposed. Empirical evidence including ours consistently suggested that self-help digital CBT-I is effective in improving sleep while its augmentation with a guided approach could further enhance the treatment gain. Previous evidence has suggested that although self-help CBT-I could lead to positive outcomes, the drop out rate is quite high and maybe less effective for patients with comorbidity or high level of distress. Thus, a stepped-care approach to CBT-I that utilizes online self help and therapist-guided modes of delivery might be a potential way to facilitate efficient dissemination of effective insomnia treatment resources. The effectiveness of the stepped care model will be evaluated in a real world setting using stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled design. The program will be rolled out to different districts in Hong Kong sequentially in 18 districts over 4 steps with a eqaully spaced time periods.
The aim of the current study is to explore whether culturally adapted internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in reducing the symptoms of various common mental health problems among Arabic-speaking refugee and migrant youth. We hypothesize that the symptoms of the psychological problems will significantly be reduced among youth who will receive iCBT compared to youth in the control group.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of a translational device, Teledyne PeakSleep, to reduce sleep onset latency, reduce time awake after sleep onset and improve restfulness and the subjective benefits of sleep in a patient population with insomnia via transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to frontal lobe circuits.
College students experience higher rates of insomnia compared the general population, and accessibility and availability for the appropriate intervention is difficult due limited resources available to them in a college environment. Theorefore, it is vital to offer an intervention that can be just as effective yet more accessible than other available treatments targeting insomnia. That is why this study will investigate the efficacy and feasibility of an online ACT intervention for insomnia among college students. Specifically, Is an online ACT for college students effective in treating insomnia? And, is an online ACT for college students feasible and acceptable in treating insomnia? Participants will be randomized into one of two conditions: waitlist or online ACT guide. Participants will receive questionnaires at baseline, post-treatment (4 weeks), and 1-month follow up.
