Filter by:The level of stress-related disorders experienced by Healthcare Providers (HCPs) has increased due to the recent COVID-19 Pandemic, impacting patient care and provider shortages. This trial aims to evaluate the use of the Transcendental Meditation Technique in improving burnout and wellbeing of HCPs over a 3-month trial period. A total of 130 HCPs will be recruited from participating Miami hospitals, with 65 HCPs receiving training in the use of the Transcendental Meditation Technique. The remaining participants will be part of a matched control group and will not receive any training. Study outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months.
Insomnia in perimenopausal women is normal. Studies have shown that insomnia occurs in 75-81% of perimenopausal women and is 2.4 times more common than in premenopausal participants. Western medicine often uses sedative sleeping drugs in the treatment of insomnia in perimenopausal women, which have better effects but have more side effects, and whether they are suitable for long-term application is still controversial. Non-pharmacological traditional therapies in Traditional Chinese Medicine have achieved significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of perimenopausal insomnia patients in recent years. This study aims to explore the efficacy of auricular point seed burying combined with fire dragon pot moxibustion in the treatment of the insomnia symptoms of perimenopausal women.
The current research aims to evaluate the adherence and efficacy of dCBTi with different types of coaching support.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a cognitive behavioural and psychoeducational intervention in patients with insomnia and diagnosed with a schizophrenic disorder.
Sleep is essential for human function, immunity, and well-being. In the general population, sleep disturbance and insomnia cause significant health problems and impact on the quality of life of many individuals. The incidence of insomnia in cancer patients is disproportionality higher, with breast cancer patients experiencing prevalence rates ranging from 19% to 69%. The impact of insomnia on cancer patients' lives can be significant and is associated with depression, cancer-related fatigue, increased pain, reduced quality of life, decreased immunity, disease progression, and survival. To date, breast cancer studies show large variation in reported insomnia prevalence rates, and the severity of sleep complaints in these patients have been difficult to assess. Thus, these issues require further investigation using standardised and validated measures. In this observational study, we aim to investigate the prevalence and severity of insomnia in a cohort of breast cancer patients at the Christie Hospital using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), a validated measure for insomnia. This study will consist of two stages. In Stage 1, patients aged 18 and over, who provide informed consent and have a diagnosis of Stage I, II or III breast cancer in the previous 12 months will be asked to complete the validated ISI. Using the ISI, participants identified as having sleeping difficulties and/or insomnia will be invited to Stage 2 of the study. In this stage, participants will be asked to track their sleep each morning for 3 weeks using a digital sleep diary downloaded onto their own smartphone. They will also be asked to complete a series of questionnaires gathering information regarding their quality of life, well-being, and health. This research will provide a better understanding of sleeping patterns, sleeping difficulties and insomnia in patients with breast cancer, and in the long-term, help us design better treatments for patients with sleeping problems.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Insomnia (CBT-I) intervention in improving sleep in a firefighter population.
Scientific advances are constantly leading to better treatments. However, it is quite challenging for healthcare systems, including VA, to ask very busy providers to change the way they practice. The MIDAS QUERI program will help providers improve the way they treat VA patients for three common conditions, using specific strategies to ensure the reliable delivery of these treatments. The first project will focus on reducing potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use using the VIONE practice, developed in VA. The second project will focus on better use of drugs called direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for patients with a history of severe blood clots or an abnormal heart rhythm. The third project will focus on increasing the use of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia as the first-line treatment for insomnia instead of sleep medications. The investigators will test two implementation approaches to improve medication use within these topics.
People with Crohn's disease often suffer from sleep problems. Long term, sleep problems may lead to more flares of Crohn's disease or other complications. In general, people with Crohn's disease also report that sleep problems can worsen symptoms of Crohn's disease the next day. In people with other medical problems, research has also shown that having sleep problems can make other things worse, such as pain and inflammation. In this study, the researchers want to understand the treatment of sleep problems in people with Crohn's disease, and what else might improve if sleep gets better. This study will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to treat insomnia symptoms. CBT-I is the recommended treatment for insomnia and has been shown to improve sleep problems, pain, and inflammation in other groups of people. If this study is successful, it will contribute to understanding how to treat insomnia in people with Crohn's disease and how sleep impacts pain and inflammation. Long term, this information will be helpful in understanding how best to take care of people with Crohn's disease.
This study is to evaluate a group-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) intervention delivered in an interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program (IPRP) compared to usual care.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. However, cognitive impairments may limit progress in CBT-I for older Veterans with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This study will develop and pilot test Sleep-SMART (Sleep Symptom Management and Rehabilitation Therapy), an adapted CBT-I treatment that incorporates Cognitive Symptom Management and Rehabilitation Therapy (CogSMART) principles with a goal of improving sleep treatment and rehabilitation outcomes for Veterans with co-occurring MCI and insomnia. The innovation of this study centers on enhancing CBT-I by providing supportive cognitive strategies designed to improve treatment adherence, learning, and acceptability. The investigators anticipate that by improving sleep it can concurrently improve daily functioning, increase quality of life, prevent or reduce late-life disability, and mitigate long-term cognitive decline in this Veteran population.
