简要总结
The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of a sleep intervention on improving cognitive function in older adults with symptoms of insomnia, determine the association between change in sleep measures and change in cognitive function, and examine the efficacy of the sleep intervention on reducing the rate of Aβ deposition. Participants, ages 60-85, will be randomly assigned to a six-week sleep intervention program. A sub-group of fifty participants will undergo Florbetapir-Positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging during the one-year reassessment to examine the efficacy of the sleep intervention on reducing the rate of Aβ accumulation from baseline to one-year post-intervention.
详细描述
Lifestyle interventions to increase exercise and improve diet have been the focus of recent clinical trials to potentially prevent Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, despite the strong links between sleep disruptions, cognitive decline, and AD, sleep enhancement has yet to be targeted as a lifestyle intervention to prevent AD. Approximately fifteen percent of AD may be prevented by an efficacious intervention aimed to reduce sleep disturbances and sleep disorders. Chronic insomnia is the most frequent sleep disorder occurring in at least forty percent of older adults. Individuals with insomnia are more likely to be diagnosed with AD and demonstrate a decline in cognitive function at long-term follow-up. AD is characterized by the accumulation of Aβ plaques and tau tangles in the brain, and growing evidence shows impaired sleep contributes to the accumulation of Aβ. An intervention aimed at improving insomnia may represent a critical opportunity for primary prevention to slow cognitive decline and potentially delay the onset of AD. Therefore, the long-term goal of this research agenda is to understand how addressing sleep disturbances, via sleep intervention, may delay the onset of AD.

结局指标
主要结局
Stroop Test
时间窗: Baseline, 6-Week Reassessment, and One-Year Reassessment
Assessment of participants executive functioning. Participants will be required to inhibit their natural response and replace it with a different response (i.e., reading a word versus saying the color of the word). Scores are obtained by taking the difference between conditions and normalizing for the number of stimuli.
Continuous Performance Test (CPT)
时间窗: Baseline, 6-Week Reassessment, and One-Year Reassessment
Assessment of the participants attention. Participants will be given a set of rules for stimuli, and based on those rules they will determine if a presented stimuli fit within those rules. Scores will be determined by the number of correctly identified stimuli.
Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS)
时间窗: Baseline, 6-Week Reassessment, and One-Year Reassessment
Twelve sub-tests assessing participants immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional, language, attention, and delayed memory skills.Participants will engage in list learning, story memory, figure copying, line orientation, picture naming, semantic fluency, digit span, coding, list recall, list recognition, story memory and figure recall.
Neuropsychological Assessment Battery-Digits Forward/Digits Backward Test
时间窗: Baseline, 6-Week Reassessment, and One-Year Reassessment
Assessment of the participants attention and working memory. Participants will be required to remember and recall strings of numbers ranging from three to nine. Primary scores are obtained by tallying the number of trials the participant accurately recalled in the forward direction and the backward direction. Secondary scores are obtained by determining the longest string of numbers the participant recalled in the forward and backward direction.
