A Pilot Study Examining the Effectiveness of Partner-Assisted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Partner-Assisted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia for Insomnia. Completed, enrolled 8 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We will undertake initial development of a new behavioral sleep intervention (i.e., partner-assisted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia; CBT-I), based closely on the gold standard treatment, CBT-I. We will examine if the new treatment has a positive impact on subjective and objective sleep and quality of life in a clinic-based sample. Secondary aims will examine treatment adherence and maintenance of therapeutic gains as well as relationship satisfaction and broader psychiatric functioning.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Study treatment includes partner-assisted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and consists of 7-8 weekly group therapy sessions of 2 hours each. Partner-assisted CBT-I focuses on altering patients' sleep schedules and changing their behaviors and patterns around sleeping in order to help them sleep in a single block of time overnight. As part of this treatment, participants will be asked to change, possibly reduce, the amount of time spent in bed and to maintain a specific bed time and wake time, as well as other potential changes depending on his/her specific insomnia pattern. This treatment has been shown to be safe and efficacious for a wide range of patients.
