Active clinical trials for "Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders"

This two-site randomized clinical trial will investigate and compare three treatments for insomnia in patients who have been diagnosed with and treated for sleep apnea: online cognitive behavioral therapy (OCBT), therapist-directed cognitive behavioral therapy (TCBT), and standard clinical care. 384 patients will be recruited and will attend up to 15 visits over 10 months. Visits will include baseline assessment, treatment visits, and post-treatment follow-up visits. Visits will involve completion of questionnaires, meeting with therapists, and a physical exam.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the treatment effects, feasibility, and acceptability of an internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention to improve the sleep of Portuguese cancer survivors with insomnia.

Project STAR aims to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a CBT-I supplement to outpatient alcohol and substance use treatment.

Insomnia is the most prevalent sleep problem in children and adolescents and it has been found to predict the development of mental health problems in young adulthood. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has been found to be effective in both adults and adolescents. However, limited accessibility and availability of the treatment has only benefited a small proportion of insomnia patients. Therefore, digital CBT-I has been promoted as an alternative way to manage individual's insomnia problems with adequate efficacy. Nonetheless, one of the major limitations of the online self-help intervention is the relatively high drop-out rate and lower compliance compared to the face-to-face modality which the interactive component is less practical in the online intervention. Therefore, the objectives of current study are 1) evaluate the efficacy of mobile-APP based CBT-I in treating youth insomnia, 2) evaluate whether the provision of additional support could further enhance the treatment outcomes.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) represents one of the most perplexing neurobiological disorders with a prevalence of 1 in 54 children. The lifelong challenging and disruptive behaviors often associated with ASD requires caregivers to change their behavior and modify their environments to provide an ecosystem for optimal outcomes for their child, family and themselves. ASD behaviors can have significant impact on caregivers mental health and family functioning, including the ability to develop and maintain healthy sleep routines. The caregiving population in US has a high prevalence of insomnia; two thirds of caregivers experiencing difficulties falling and/or staying asleep. The prevalence of insomnia in children with ASD is equally high, 60-80% experiencing night waking contributing to poor daytime behavior and disrupted sleep in the caregivers. This pilot RCT will focus on improving caregivers sleep in the context of caring for a child with ASD and insomnia with a multi-disciplinary team. The investigators will compare a home-based tailored CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) versus a web-based Way to Health CBT-I intervention. This data will support a larger RCT with the Department of Defense funding opportunity through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program. This Autism Research Program focuses on improving lives of those living with ASD.

This will be a single center, prospective, open label, quasi-experimental pre-post intervention trial in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients with insomnia. The main objectives are i. to assess efficacy of mirtazapine in reducing depression and insomnia symptom severity in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients with insomnia. ii. to evaluate side effects of mirtazapine. Following enrollment and baseline assessment patients will be prescribed mirtazapine at 15-30 mg/day. Depending on the response, doses will be adjusted after two weeks and might be titrated up to 45 mg/day. Each patient will be monitored for 42 days and assessment will be carried out on Day 0, Day 14, Day 28 and Day 42 of the trial.

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.

The goal of this prospective multicenter clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of software-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in Chinese patients with insomnia disorder (ID). The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) whether the software-delivered CBT-I is more effective than an online patient education (online-PE) at improving insomnia. (2) whether the software-delivered CBT-I is safe for treatment of insomnia symptoms. Participants will be randomized to receive (1) a software-delivered CBT-I using automated software called 'resleep' (one kind of digital device expected to treat insomnia targeted for Chinese patients); (2) online patient education (online-PE) about sleep. Researchers will compare the efficacy of a software-delivered CBT-I program and an online sleep education control at improving insomnia symptoms and other psychological outcomes.

Some evidence indicates that circadian rhythm may play a role in the pathophysiology of insomnia disorder. This single-blind randomized controlled multicentre prospective study aims to evaluate the possible therapeutic effect of light therapy in modulating the clinical phenotype of patients affected by chronic primary and comorbid insomnia, through the modification of the circadian phase.

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the impact of an Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) intervention on sleep and the extent to which it contributes to cognitive health in individuals with mild cognitive impairment. Participants with insomnia who meet the study criteria for mild cognitive impairment will be recruited to determine the effects of the CBT-I intervention compared to a patient education condition on sleep and cognition. Internet-based recruitment methods will be used, and outcomes include sleep variables, daytime variables, and cognitive status.
