Insomnia Paid Clinical Trials in Maryland

Research Type: Clinical Trial Background: People with sickle cell disease (SCD) have many health challenges. Also, they often have trouble sleeping. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) might help people with SCD to improve their sleep problems. Objective: To see how well ACT works in people with SCD and sleep problems and to find out how they feel about it. Eligibility: People between the ages of 18 and 55 with SCD and trouble sleeping. Design: The study is remote. Participants will not have to come to the NIH at all. They will need a device that has Bluetooth and can connect to the internet. Some participants will be in the study for 12 weeks. Others will participate for 20 weeks. Participants will video chat with an ACT coach once a week for 8 weeks. The coach will guide participants through mindfulness exercises and teach ACT ideas. Each session lasts about 45 minutes. Participants will be loaned an actigraph, a device worn on the wrist like a watch that measures and records movement. They will download a free app to upload data from the actigraph for the researchers. Participants will wear the actigraph on their nondominant wrist day and night for either 4 or 6 designated weeks. During these weeks, participants will complete a sleep diary each morning when they wake up. This takes about 2 minutes. Participants will be sent other surveys to complete from home during the study. They will answer questions about their physical and emotional health. These take 20-25 minutes. The last survey will be 4 weeks after participants finish the ACT treatment. They will answer questions about how helpful they thought ACT was and how easy or hard it was to wear the actigraph.

Although empirical research suggests that physical activity interventions benefit cognition and sleep in older adults in general, the possible benefit of physical activity is understudied in low-income older adults. The study aims to test the immediate and sustaining efficacy of an mHealth-facilitated Physical Activity Toward Health (mPATH) intervention on cognitive function and sleep in low-income older adults.

The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider. Read Less

The investigators propose a randomized controlled clinical trial in 250 women with a history of early stage breast cancer who are overweight or obese with insomnia to test whether a brief, cognitive-behavioral intervention for insomnia (CBT-I) prior to behavioral weight loss (CBT-I+BWL) is superior to a sleep education control (EDU) condition followed by behavioral weight loss (EDU+BWL). The investigators will measure outcomes at baseline, 8 weeks (after completing CBT-I or EDU and prior to BWL), and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Read Less

This study is a prospective two-arm, single blind randomized controlled trial design to compare the clinical effectiveness of telemedicine-delivered, 6-session, standardized cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and mindfulness-based treatment for insomnia (MBTI) in treating insomnia symptoms and ameliorating depressive symptoms in persons with mild to moderate TBI and comorbid Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms (PTSS) and insomnia symptoms in a 360 patients. Participants will undergo assessment (psychosocial questionnaires, neurocognitive testing, sleep monitoring) at baseline, at the end of treatment, and at 2-, 6- and 12-weeks post-treatment. The primary outcome is sleep as measured by the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Read Less

The goal of this clinical study is to learn whether treating sleep problems is helpful in people with substance abuse problems who are living in a residential treatment program. Another goal is to study whether treating sleep problems will help individuals stay in substance abuse recovery treatment for a greater amount of time. Participants will be asked to complete surveys at the time of enrollment and every week for the next 9 weeks for a total of 8 times. Participants will be asked to wear a watch that measures sleep (sleep watch) while the participants are in the group and for a 2-week period after the participants complete the group. Participants may also be asked to participate in an interview about the experience with the group and wearing the watch. Participants will also have "homework" throughout a 4 week period. Homework is to complete a sleep diary each morning. The first group of 50 participants will be enrolled in the brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) group where the participants receive typical treatment plus the sleep intervention program. The investigators will use qualitative and quantitative data to identify implementation facilitators and barriers, then further modify BBTI to improve feasibility. After modifying the BBTI protocol and re-training staff, study procedures will remain intact with the exception that the investigators will double the recruitment and randomize participants to the modified BBTI (N=50) or standard-of-care (SOC) (N=50). All participants will complete all assessments except the SOC group will not complete treatment satisfaction surveys. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of a translational device, Teledyne PeakSleep, to reduce sleep onset latency, reduce time awake after sleep onset and improve restfulness and the subjective benefits of sleep in a patient population with insomnia via transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to frontal lobe circuits.
