Reducing Coronary Heart Disease Risk Through Treatment of Insomnia Using Web-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia: A Methodological Approach.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Observational data demonstrate increased risk of recurrent acute coronary syndrome in patients with comorbid insomnia. We conducted a pragmatic randomized controlled pilot study to address knowledge gaps and inform future large-scale randomized trials to test the impact of Web-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (wCBT-I) on coronary heart disease (CHD) outcomes. Participants: Thirty-five adults recruited from Brigham and Women's and Cleveland Clinic Hospitals with insomnia, defined by Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score ? 10 and symptoms of at least 3 months, and comorbid CHD identified from medical records. Methods: We randomized 34 patients to either general sleep education coupled with wCBT-I or general sleep education alone followed by an opportunity for treatment after the study (a wait-list control) to evaluate feasibility and uptake of insomnia treatment in patients with heart disease. Participants completed the ISI at baseline and 6 weeks to assess insomnia severity. Results: Twenty-nine adults completed the trial, yielding an 85% retention rate, and adherence rate in the treatment arm was 80%. Mean age was 71.6 ± 9.5 years, 75% were male, and mean body mass index (BMI) was 29 ± 4.5 kg/m2. Baseline ISI scores were 15.6. There was a 6.2 ± 5.3 point reduction in ISI scores in the intervention arm and a 3.3 ± 5.1 reduction in the control arm (p value 0.1). Conclusion: Web-based CBT-I intervention was feasible in an older sample with prevalent CHD and resulted in clinically meaningful improvement in insomnia severity, though statistical significance was limited by lack of power.

Project description:STUDY OBJECTIVES:The current archival analyses examine the direct and indirect effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) on depression in cancer survivors. METHODS:We report on 67 cancer survivors from a 2 × 2 randomized controlled trial of CBT-I and armodafinil for insomnia, after collapsing across the noneffective study medication conditions (armodafinil/placebo) to create CBT-I (yes/no). Depression and insomnia were assessed before, during the 7-week CBT-I intervention, at postintervention, and 3 months later by the Patient Health Questionnaire and the Insomnia Severity Index, respectively. RESULTS:Mean depression at baseline for all participants was 6.44 (standard error = 0.41, range 0-15). Paired t tests showed that depression improved from baseline to postintervention by 48% (P < .001) in the CBT-I group versus 15% (P = .016) in the non-CBT-I group. Analysis of covariance controlling for baseline found that participants receiving CBT-I had significantly less depression at postintervention (effect size = -0.62; P = .001), compared to those who did not receive CBT-I. These benefits were maintained at the 3-month follow-up. Spearman rank correlations showed that changes in insomnia severity from baseline to postintervention were significantly correlated with concurrent changes in depression (r = .73; P < .001). Path analysis revealed that improvement in depression was mediated by improvement in insomnia severity (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS:Our findings provide preliminary support that in cancer survivors, CBT-I reduces depression via improvement in insomnia. Further, this reduction in depression remained stable 3 months after completing CBT-I. This suggests that a CBT-I intervention has a meaningful effect on depression.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia during pregnancy.MethodsRandomized, unmasked, 3-site controlled trial. Participants were randomly allocated to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (a first-line, empirically supported psychosocial intervention that addresses sleep-related behaviors and cognitions) or a control intervention consisting of imagery exercises that paired patient-identified distressing nighttime experiences with patient-identified neutral images. Participants were eligible if they met diagnostic criteria for insomnia disorder and were between 18 and 32 weeks of gestation. Patients were ineligible if they met diagnostic criteria for major psychiatric disorders, including depression, or were receiving nonstudy treatments that could affect sleep (or both). The primary outcome was the Insomnia Severity Index score, a validated brief questionnaire, with scores between 14 and 21 representing clinically meaningful insomnia of moderate severity, scores higher than 21 representing severe insomnia, and scores less than 8 representing no insomnia. Secondary outcomes included remission of insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index score less than 8), objectively measured and self-reported time awake (ie, total wake time), and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score. All outcomes were measured weekly. Analysis included 48 participants who did not complete treatment. We estimated that 184 women would be required to have 80% power, with a two-tailed test, to detect a moderate Cohen's d effect size (.5) with α=.05.ResultsBetween May 2013 and April 2017, 194 pregnant women were randomized and 149 completed treatment; 179 with available baseline data (92%) were ultimately analyzed, 89 in the cognitive therapy group and 90 in the control group. Women assigned to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia experienced significantly greater reductions in insomnia severity (scores decreased from 15.4±4.3 to 8.0±5.2 in the cognitive behavioral therapy group vs from 15.9±4.4 to 11.2±4.9 in the control therapy group [P<.001, d=0.5]). Remission of insomnia (to an Insomnia Severity Index score less than 8) disorder was attained by 64% of women in the cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia group vs 52% in the control group. Women receiving cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia experienced faster remission of insomnia disorder, with a median of 31 days vs 48 days in the control therapy (P<.001). Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia led to significantly greater reduction in self-reported but not objective total wake time and a small but significantly greater decline in Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale scores vs the control group.ConclusionCognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is an effective nonpharmacologic treatment for insomnia during pregnancy.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01846585.
