Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions

Interventions
Behavioral: pCBT-I
Registration Number
NCT05523726
Lead Sponsor
Henry Ford Health System
Brief Summary

This study is intended to assess the efficacy of preventative Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (pCBT-I) on reducing the severity and stopping the progression of acute insomnia and depression. We also hope to gain a deeper understanding of the sociocultural, interpersonal, and individual factors that may have a role in development of insomnia and/or engagement with treatment plans.

Detailed Description

Insomnia is a debilitating condition that escalates the risk of a myriad of disorders and is a source of significant economic burden. Insomnia takes an immense toll on individuals' physical and mental wellbeing and treating it before it can develop into chronic insomnia can save individuals untold time and money on treatment.

This study is intended to assess the effects of one virtual pCBT-I session with a nurse coach on reducing the severity and stopping the progression of acute insomnia and depression. The benefits of pCBT-I have been demonstrated in prior studies but have yet to be tested on larger sample populations.

Participants will be recruited from the Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) outpatient network, as well as the Medicare/Medicaid data warehouse and other community partners. Subjects will be screened to determine eligibility, and then will be randomized into one of two insomnia treatment groups (control digital sleep education and pCBT-I via telehealth coaching).

Upon completion, the proposed research will not only have validated a preventative treatment for both insomnia and depression, but we will have the tools to apply it in the most effective way possible.

Preventative Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for InsomniapCBT-IParticipants in this group will complete daily sleep diary entries for one week, and then have a telehealth pCBT-I session with a nurse coach, where they will receive personalized sleep recommendations to improve sleep quality.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cases of DSM-5 Insomnia6 months post-treatment

Meet all DSM-5 criteria for Chronic Insomnia

Depression Severityup to one year post-treatment

QIDS-SR16 Score (0-27; higher scores correspond to worse severity)

Insomnia Severityup to one year post-treatment

Insomnia Severity Index Score (0 to 28; higher scores correspond to worse severity)

Cases of Clinically Significant Depression6-months post-treatment

QIDS-SR16 score of 11 or higher

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Physical EnvironmentThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Participants will be asked about the layout of their sleep environment as well as neighborhood characteristics. Sleep environment will be assessed using qualitative information on individual's surroundings and information such as their ability to adjust light levels, temperature, and sound. If it is easier for the individual to adjust these, then they have a better physical environment for sleep. Neighborhood characteristics will be evaluated with the Neighborhood Safety scale (scores range from 1 to 5; lower scores indicate more neighborhood safety).

Sociocultural EnvironmentThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Sociocultural environment is measured using a household roster and the Everyday Discrimination Scale. A household roster will ask participants to report the number of individuals in the household and characterize the relationship with the participant. No summary score exists for the household roster. The Everyday Discrimination Scale measures frequency of discrimination (scores range from 10 to 60; higher scores represent more frequent experiences of discrimination).
