Clinical Study ID

NCT05490550
JW210372
  • Ages > 18
  • All Genders

Study Summary

The purpose of this pragmatic non-inferiority randomized clinical trial is to evaluate whether Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia (CBTI) delivered through a clinical decision support digital platform is non-inferior to insomnia care delivered as usual at three military treatment facilities for treatment of insomnia, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and treatment satisfaction.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Active duty service members, men and women, diagnosed with chronic insomnia and deemedeligible for CBTI by their treating clinician.
  • Age 18 or older.
  • Absence of, or stable, psychiatric, or medical comorbidity(ies), such that they do notcompromise safety when completing study procedures.
  • If using prescribed sleep medication(s), have received the medication(s) at a stabledosage for at least 4 weeks, with no scheduled change in medication or dosage over theacute intervention phase (up to 12 weeks)
  • Owning or ability to use a smartphone (iPhone or Android) that is no older than 5years old (e.g., iPhone 6, and Android phone with Lollipop 5.0 mobile operatingsystem)

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of an untreated or under-treated comorbid sleep disorder that requiresindependent treatment or that may be exacerbated by sleep restriction or stimulicontrol, e.g., obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or rapid-eye-movement (REM) behaviordisorder or sleep walking with a history of injury to self or others.
  • Acute psychiatric distress associated with marked impairments in functioning or thatlimits engagement in CBTI, adversely impacts the risk/benefit ratio of participatingin the study, or requires immediate attention, as indicated by, but not limited to,the examples listed below. Please note that each referring clinician will determinewhether a patient is eligible for the study.
  • Having planned or attempted suicide or the harming of others in the past 6 months.

Study Description

Chronic insomnia is pervasive among service members and adversely affects health and readiness. Insomnia rarely remits spontaneously, and sleep-focused treatments are required to reduce or eliminate insomnia. Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia (CBTI) is the first line treatment for insomnia. CBTI remains underutilized and is often unavailable in care settings where service members receive sleep healthcare. Digital health technology is one of the strategic components identified by the DHA to support behavioral health, including sleep health. NOCTEM® has developed and validated its Clinician Operated Assistive Sleep Technology (COAST™) platform to scale delivery and access to CBTI. This non-inferiority trial will evaluate and compare the changes in insomnia severity following COAST-enhanced CBTI or insomnia care as usual (ICAU) pre- to post-treatment and at the 3-month follow up. Secondary outcomes of interest include changes in depression and anxiety over time, and patient satisfaction with insomnia care following COAST-enhanced CBTI or ICAU.
