简要总结
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) on chronic insomnia (CI) with mild cognitive impairment.
详细描述
Chronic insomnia (CI) is a prevalent sleep disorder that not only causes night-time sleep difficulties but also impairs daytime functioning and cognitive abilities, including deficits in attention, memory, and executive function. Persistent insomnia may diminish the brain's information processing capacity, affecting memory, attention, and decision-making. CRT, a structured cognitive training intervention, has been shown in psychiatric populations to enhance memory, attention, and executive function by promoting neuroplasticity, neurotransmitter modulation, and optimizing brain activity patterns.
Applying CRT to CI patients may similarly support cognitive recovery and indirectly improve sleep quality. However, empirical evidence remains limited.
This randomized controlled trial will enroll 70 patients with CI and cognitive decline. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a CRT plus Sleep Hygiene Education (SHE) group or an SHE-only group (n=35 each). The CRT intervention will last 6 weeks, with daily 50-minute sessions. Evaluations will occur at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up. This study aims to provide evidence for CRT as a treatment for CI with cognitive impairment and inform future clinical practices.
