Arm Description

Model A consists of a 4 session CBT-I in phase I and CPAP for OSA in Phase II.

Model B consists of 4 weeks of monitoring using sleep diaries in Phase I. Phase II consists of concurrent initiation of CBT-I and CPAP for OSA.

Model C consists of 4 weeks of monitoring with sleep diaries in Phase I. Phase II consists of CPAP for OSA.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

CPAP adherence
CPAP adherence is defined as % nights used and hrs per night and % of "good users" (≥ 4 hours on ≥ 70% of nights)
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Improvements in sleep quality is defined as change of PSQI score from baseline to 90 days after CPAP initiation.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Polysomnography (PSG)
Improvement in PSG sleep efficiency at the end of Phase I
Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)
Improvement in ISI from baseline to 90 days after CPAP initiation
Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ)
Improvement in FOSQ from baseline to 90 days after CPAP initiation
Actigraphy
Improvement in sleep as measured by actigraphy from baseline to 90 days after CPAP initiation.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The overall goal of this project is to determine the efficacy of a multidisciplinary treatment model for patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and comorbid Insomnia. Specific Aim 1: To determine the efficacy of a treatment model combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Continued Positive Airway Pressure(CPAP) for individuals with OSA and comorbid insomnia. Specific Aim 2: To determine if there are relative benefits in the sequence of treatment initiation. Specific Aim 3: To examine the mechanisms between insomnia symptoms and CPAP adherence.
Detailed Description
OSA is a sleep-related breathing disorder that is growing in prevalence and is associated with negative cardiovascular consequences and adverse events from excessive daytime sleepiness. Insomnia is a frequently co-occurring sleep disorder that adds significant morbidity and is a potential barrier to adherence of OSA treatment. It is currently unknown if direct treatment of insomnia will enhance outcomes of OSA treatment. The investigators at the Rush Sleep Disorders Center have developed an approach that combines CBT for insomnia delivered by a psychologist with CPAP therapy managed by a physician. Building upon preliminary data collected in the clinic, the investigators seek to test the efficacy and mechanisms of this multidisciplinary model against the standard practice of treating OSA using CPAP alone.

Intervention Type
Behavioral
Intervention Name(s)
CBT-I
Other Intervention Name(s)
CBT for Insomnia, CBT
Intervention Description
Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) consists of 4 weekly sessions delivered individually. The focus of these sessions is on modifying behaviors and cognitions related to sleep and insomnia.
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
CPAP
Other Intervention Name(s)
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, Positive Airway Pressure
Intervention Description
CPAP is an FDA-approved medical device used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. This device consists of a mask, hose, and machine that blows continuous air which maintains a consistent pressure of airflow preventing the upper airway from collapsing during sleep.
