Article Synopsis
- Nocturia (waking up at night to urinate) and chronic insomnia often affect older adults together, leading to more severe sleep disturbances, yet treatments usually focus on one issue at a time.
- A study involved older adults with both conditions to test a new treatment approach combining cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia and nocturia, as well as a control health education program.
- Results showed that participants in the combined treatment group experienced a greater reduction in the number of nightly nocturia episodes compared to those in the control group over four months, suggesting the method's feasibility for future research.
