The proposed pilot will examine feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a digital CBT-I tailored for school-aged children.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how certain medications used to treat insomnia (e.g., Lemborexant) impact sleep, mood, and behavior in men and women with Opioid Use Disorder who are taking prescribed buprenorphine. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the effect of the study drug (lemborexant) on sleep outcomes? 2. What is the effect of the study drug (lemborexant) on impulsive behavior (as measured by computer test performance)? 3. What is the effect of the study drug (lemborexant) on mood and other behavior? Researchers will compare lemborexant to placebo (e.g., sugar pill) to see if participants assigned to 8 weeks of treatment with lemborexant have greater improvements on the measures listed above. Participants will take the study medication (or placebo) each night for 8 weeks and be asked to come for a total of 23 study visits. Most of these visits will be very short (15-30 minutes). The longer visits will include the screening visit (about 2-3 hrs), baseline visit (about 2.5 hrs), and the post-medication visit (about 2 hrs). Study visits will include things like taking surveys about sleep, drug use, and mood, completing urine drug testing, checking vital signs (e.g., blood pressure), and completing interviews with the study staff. Participants will also be asked to provide two blood samples (one during screening and one after taking the medication). For three two-week periods, participants will be asked to wear a watch to track sleep at home, and to keep a log of sleep and wake times.
The objective of the study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in a sample of active-duty sailors with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The investigators will test the impact of CBT-I on insomnia symptoms as well as post-concussive symptoms, psychological symptoms, and neurocognitive functioning in comparison to treatment as usual. The investigators will also compare the effectiveness of traditional in-person CBT-I and CBT-I delivered via a clinician-supervised digital health platform, Clinician Operated Assistive Sleep Technology (COAST) in comparison to treatment as usual on symptoms of insomnia, post-concussive symptoms, neurocognitive functioning, and psychological health. Participants will be assessed at baseline, post-treatment, and 3 months later.
This study investigates the relationship between the noradrenergic (NA) system, sleep quality, and cognitive function in older adults with insomnia - a population at elevated risk for Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (ADRD) - compared to age and sex matched controls with normal sleep. The study characterizes NA function through multiple approaches: measuring 24-hour plasma levels of norepinephrine (NE) and its brain metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG); evaluating central NA system response using the clonidine suppression test (a presynaptic α2 adrenoreceptor agonist that reduces locus coeruleus NA activity; and employing pupillometry as a non-invasive marker of autonomic function. To explore NA function's mechanistic role in insomnia, the study uses an intervention with bright light exposure to enhance daytime NA activity, with the goal of improving both sleep quality and cognitive performance.
The goal of this study is to test a new way to improve sleep quality in persons living with mild cognitive impairment. The treatment combines a safe and gentle way to stimulate the brain, called transcranial magnetic stimulation, with a psychological treatment, called cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.
This study called rSTATE (Remote STATE Training for Insomnia in Older Adults) is a Phase II study to definitively evaluate the efficacy of a computerized cognitive training program (rSTATE) designed to improve sleep regulation and brain health and extend functional independence in older adults with insomnia.
This research will compare the effectiveness of a remotely delivered personalized exercise coaching plus an evidence-based sleep improvement intervention to remotely delivered personalized exercise coaching alone for knee osteoarthritis pain. The study team hypothesize that the combined intervention will result in greater improvements in patient-reported pain intensity, recorded with real-time data capture, than remotely delivered exercise coaching alone.
The goal of this study is to test an adapted treatment for teen insomnia in comparison to a waitlist condition. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an intervention that was developed for adults and is sometimes also used for teens. Teens, parents, and health care providers helped to review and adapt CBT-I to form Teen CBT-I. Teen CBT-I includes most of the same content as CBT-I, with some changes to match teen biology and lifestyles. The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are: * Does Teen CBT-I improve insomnia symptoms in teens? o Researchers will compare Teen CBT-I to the waitlist control condition to see if insomnia symptoms significantly improve in the treatment group. * Do teens and their parents find Teen CBT-I to be acceptable? o Researchers will examine Teen CBT-I acceptability ratings. Teen CBT-I is hypothesized to improve insomnia symptoms in teens, and teens and parents are hypothesized to find Teen CBT-I to be acceptable. Teen participants will be randomized to one of the two conditions: Teen CBT-I treatment or waitlist control. They will also complete assessments at three timepoints: Baseline (before treatment); post-intervention (after treatment); and follow-up (2 months after treatment). For each assessment, teen participants will: * Fill out questionnaires about their sleep, mood, and other areas * Keep daily sleep logs for one week * Wear an actigraph, a wrist-watch like device that records activity levels to determine sleep-wake patterns, for one week. Parent participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires at each measurement point about their teen's sleep, mood, and other areas. The intervention conditions are: * Teen CBT-I includes 4-6 one-hour individual virtual sessions with a therapist. It includes standard CBT-I content with some small changes to match teen biology and lifestyles. The main parts of this treatment include healthy sleep habits, only using the bed for sleep, keeping a recommended sleep schedule, changing negative thoughts about sleep, and learning ways to relax the mind and body for sleep. * Waitlist-control, in which teens will not receive any treatment for 8 weeks. After the second assessment, they will receive free access to an app-based CBT-I treatment which they can complete on their own.
The incidence of insomnia is estimated to be as high as 90% in individuals with MS due to insomnia being underdiagnosed. Sleep disturbances in people with MS have been associated with reduced cognitive performance, physical function, psychological well-being, quality of life, and occupational function, as well as increased prevalence of fatigue, pain, depression, and anxiety. The objective of the proposed study is to determine the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to improve insomnia symptoms (Aim 1) fatigue, and health-related quality of life (Aim 2) in individuals with multiple sclerosis compared to an active control group, and to determine the characteristics of participants that predict improvement in sleep outcomes (Exploratory Aim 3).
This clinical trial evaluates the effect of conversational agent, Cecebot, on improving insomnia in stage I-III breast cancer survivors. Sleep disturbance ranks among the top concerns reported by breast cancer survivors and is associated with poor quality of life. Many breast cancer survivors also have decreased physical activity, which may also have a negative impact on sleep and quality of life. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) and physical activity interventions have individually been reported to improve sleep and to have a positive impact on quality of life. Cecebot is a personalized short messaging service (SMS)-based behavioral intervention that combines CBTi and physical activity strategies that may improve sleep for breast cancer survivors.
