Active clinical trials for "Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders"

The goal of this clinical study is to learn whether treating sleep problems is helpful in people with substance abuse problems who are living in a residential treatment program. Another goal is to study whether treating sleep problems will help individuals stay in substance abuse recovery treatment for a greater amount of time. Participants will be asked to complete surveys at the time of enrollment and every week for the next 9 weeks for a total of 8 times. Participants will be asked to wear a watch that measures sleep (sleep watch) while the participants are in the group and for a 2-week period after the participants complete the group. Participants may also be asked to participate in an interview about the experience with the group and wearing the watch. Participants will also have "homework" throughout a 4 week period. Homework is to complete a sleep diary each morning. The first group of 50 participants will be enrolled in the brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) group where the participants receive typical treatment plus the sleep intervention program. The investigators will use qualitative and quantitative data to identify implementation facilitators and barriers, then further modify BBTI to improve feasibility. After modifying the BBTI protocol and re-training staff, study procedures will remain intact with the exception that the investigators will double the recruitment and randomize participants to the modified BBTI (N=50) or standard-of-care (SOC) (N=50). All participants will complete all assessments except the SOC group will not complete treatment satisfaction surveys.

Insomnia affects 67-88% of chronic pain patients. SPIN II is a randomized controlled clinical trial that will compare the effects of two cognitive behavioral sleep treatments in women with fibromyalgia and insomnia. This trial will yield important information about the roles of sleep, arousal, and brain structure and function in the development and maintenance of chronic pain in women with fibromyalgia.

Persistant insomnia is a common sleep disorder that affects approximately 20% of the French population. The standard treatment for chronic insomnia is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Behavioral measures can be difficult to implement for the patient alone at home. Spa therapy with psychosomatic orientation allows to implement hygiene rules and structure rhythms of life. In addition, recent studies have shown that spa treatment, including crenotherapy, is effective in somatic complaints related to anxiety and benzodiazepine withdrawal. The spa treatment could therefore provide ideal conditions for the implementation of behavioral measures for insomnia management. The objective of SOMNOTHERM study is to measure efficiency on insomnia complaints at 8 weeks of a the implementation of a Behavioral therapy program for insomnia delivered by an internet software combined to a spa treatment compared to implementation of the same program at home (standard care).

Insomnia affects 30-60% of cancer patients, thus making it one of the most common disturbances in this population. When untreated, which is the rule rather than the exception, insomnia often becomes chronic. Chronic insomnia is associated with numerous negative consequences (e.g., increased risk for psychological disorders, health care costs). A large body of evidence supports the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in cancer patients, but CBT-I is still not offered routinely in cancer clinics. Self-administered CBT-I (e.g., video-based intervention) has been developed to increase patients' access to this treatment. However, results of clinical trials have suggested that these minimal treatments would be better used as a first step of a stepped care model. In stepped care, patients receive only the level of intervention they need. Generally, the entry level is a minimal, less costly, intervention (e.g., self-help intervention) followed by a more intensive form of treatment if needed (if the patient is still symptomatic). The investigators have recently assessed the efficacy of a stepped care model to administer CBT-I in cancer patients, which includes a web-based CBT-I (called Insomnet) followed by up to 3 sessions with a psychotherapist if the patient is still symptomatic. Results of this study suggest that this model of care is non-inferior to a standard face-to-face treatment (Savard, Ivers, et al., in revision), while being more cost-effective. A stepped care CBT-I could therefore be offered in routine cancer care clinics. This project will assess the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a stepped care CBT-I in real-world cancer clinics, using a non-randomized stepped wedge design to compare the effects of our program (active phase) with a passive phase. The program is called Insomnia in Patients with Cancer - Personalized Treatment (IMPACT). The stepped care CBT-I (active intervention) is being implemented sequentially in the four participating hospitals over a number of equally spaced time periods of 4 months (wedges), for a total of 5 time points, over a period of 20 months.

This trial will examine the effectiveness of a mobile applicable intervention called the "ABCs of SLEEPING". This intervention provides parents with prioritized/customized sleep recommendations and a sleep report based on their responses to the "Sleep check-in". This app is evidence-based and developed by sleep researchers and its aim is to provide accessible evidence-based sleep information for parents of children aged 6 to 12 years of age.

Insomnia is prevalent in adolescents. Together with an increase of evening preference (i.e. evening chronotype) in adolescent, sleep disturbance in adolescents are associated with a constellation of adverse outcomes. Insomnia and evening chronotype in adolescents are also found to predict the development of mental health problems and negative health-related outcomes in young adulthood. While cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and bright light therapy were evidenced to be effective in managing sleep problems in adults, there is limited evidence to support their efficacy in children and adolescents. To address the limitations in the existing literature, this study aims to conduct a randomised controlled trial to examine the effects of CBT-I and light therapy on insomnia and mood symptoms, and other clinical and daytime symptoms, as well as overall functioning in adolescents with insomnia (particularly sleep onset insomnia) and evening chronotype.

Sleep disorders commonly co-occur with psychiatric disorders. Sleep disorders are often treated with medication or not at all in psychiatric care, although there exist a plethora of documentation of the effectiveness of sleep interventions. There is also an increase in studies showing effectiveness of sleep-interventions when the sleep disorder co-occurs with psychiatric illness. The most common and best documented treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi). There is a great gap in the knowledge on how sleep disorders can be treated effectively in psychiatric care. In this project the investigators therefore seek to investigate the effect of non-pharmacological, group-based treatment in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) where sleep and psychiatric symptoms are the primary outcome measures. CBTi comprise of sleep education, sleep restriction, stimulus control and cognitive restructuring of dysfunctional thoughts about sleep.

The aim of the study is to show that auriculotherapy is effective in the treatment of chronic insomnia.

The goal of this project evaluate the efficacy of NiteCAPP in improving insomnia in a rural dementia caregiver sample (n of 100 caregiver and PWD dyads). We will measure both the short term (post-treatment) and long term (6 and 12 months) effects of the intervention on CG sleep, arousal, inflammation, health, mood, burden and cognitive function, and PWD sleep.

Investigators will evaluate the efficacy of postoperative oral suvorexant treatment on nighttime wakefulness after persistent sleep onset (WASO) among adult cardiac surgical patients recovering in the cardiac intensive care unit (ICU). The study include patients ≥ 60 years old undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), with or without valve surgery (aortic or mitral). Patients will receive either oral suvorexant or placebo for 7 nights starting the night after extubation. The primary hypothesis is that suvorexant compared with placebo decreases WASO, as measured by a specialized electroencephalogram (EEG), the SedLine monitor, during the first night in the cardiac ICU. Investigators will also assess total sleep time (TST), time to sleep onset (TSO), and postoperative delirium and delirium-free days.
