About this study

Official title: Delivery of Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia Via Telehealth or Internet

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for chronic insomnia, which is a prevalent and costly problem. This pilot study will compare the effectiveness of two brief (6 week) psychological interventions delivered to residents of rural Manitoba using Telehealth or an interactive Internet-based platform. It is hypothesized that a) participants in the Telehealth condition will report significantly greater improvements in sleep parameters(e.g., sleep efficiency, time awake in bed, sleep-onset latency),insomnia severity, and daytime fatigue than those in the Internet condition and that b)participants in the Telehealth condition will show better adherence to treatment and greater satisfaction with treatment than those in the Internet condition.

What is being measured

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

    The primary outcome measure will be insomnia severity, as assessed by the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI; Morin, 2003), a 6-item self-report measure of impairment due to sleep difficulties

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sleep diary data

    Sleep diaries are a standard daily outcome measure for insomnia. The version used here (Morin, 1993) includes information regarding total sleep time, sleep-onset latency, sleep-efficiency, number of night awakenings, time awake in then night, sleep quality, and frequency of use of sleep medications.

    Measured: 6 weeks

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