About this study

The goal is to determine if improved sleep will increase/enhance weight loss among overweight adults with insomnia.

Read the detailed description

The major purpose of this study is to examine the effect of sleep quality and quantity on weight loss. The outcomes being studied are weight loss and improved sleep. The subjects being studied are those with body mass index 28-40kg/m2 who report sleeping less than 6.5 hours per day for 4 day per week or more for the past 6 months or longer and would likely benefit the most from the sleep intervention should it prove to be effective. We hope to learn if improved sleep habits among overweight adults with insomnia will help them to adhere to a diet and exercise program and increase their success with weight loss. Given the current world-wide obesity epidemic and the established difficulties many people have with weight control, any approaches that can be demonstrated to contribute to successful weight loss have direct public health significance.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diet and exerciseBehavioural

    Standardized instruction to eat less and exercise more to create an energy balance deficit to promote weight loss (16 classes)

  • Cognitive Behavioral TherapyBehavioural

    Standardized cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (8 classes)

  • Passion and BalanceBehavioural

    Attention-match sessions of general interest, but unrelated to diet, exercise, or sleep (8 sessions)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline in weight at 8 months

    Change was calculated as the value at 8 months minus the value at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 8 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change from baseline in scores of Insomnia Severity Index

    Change was calculated as the value at 8 months minus the value at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 8 months

  2. Change from baseline in scores of Insomnia Frequency Questionnaire

    Change was calculated as the value at 8 months minus the value at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 8 months

  3. Change from baseline in scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

    Change was calculated as the value at 8 months minus the value at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 8 months

  4. Change from baseline in scores of Monk Social Rhythm Questionnaire

    Change was calculated as the value at 8 months minus the value at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diet and exercise, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Passion and Balance in people with Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders and Obesity, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in weight at 8 months (time frame: Baseline and 8 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Feb 2023.
