Stroke Clinical Trial - Improving Sleep & Learning in Rehabilitation After

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will explore whether sleep in stroke survivors is improved with digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (Sleepio), in comparison to treatment as usual, and will explore whether changes in sleep relate to changes in overnight consolidation of motor learning.

Clinical Trial Description

Stroke is one of the leading causes of adult disability. Rehabilitation of movement after stroke depends on motor learning. Motor learning involves not only improvement during practice but also offline improvement, or consolidation, that occurs after practice. Consolidation of learning depends on good sleep quality. However, sleep is disrupted long-term after stroke and patients with poorer sleep show worse rehabilitation outcomes. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT) is the recommended first line treatment for sleep problems. "Sleepio" is a digital CBT programme which is effective across a range of clinical populations. This study aims to test the efficacy of digital CBT for reducing insomnia symptoms after stroke, in comparison with usual care alone. To explore the possibility that sleep interventions might enhance rehabilitation outcomes via their impact on consolidation of motor learning, the study will additionally test for differences in consolidation between groups, and explore whether changes in sleep measures are associated with changes in consolidation. Participants will be randomised to either receive digital CBT for insomnia (in addition to usual care) or receive treatment as usual alone (2:1 treatment to control ratio). The primary outcome is the score on the 8-item Sleep Condition Indicator, 10 weeks following randomisation. Secondary outcomes include behavioural measures of overnight motor consolidation assessed as the change in motor task performance from training to retest, sleep disruption assessed with actigraphy, and depression and fatigue using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9) and the Fatigue Severity Scale respectively. In addition to this, to explore the feasibility of delivering rehabilitation following the sleep improvement programme, an optional 4 weeks of upper limb motor training at home will be offered to all participants (regardless of group allocation) after follow-up. Outcomes of adherence to the training and upper limb function will be assessed. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
