Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how telehealth-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (tele-CBT-I) affects sleep quality and changes in brain function in fibromyalgia patients who also have insomnia.
- A total of 35 participants were split into two groups: one receiving tele-CBT-I and the other receiving treatment as usual (TAU), followed by assessments using various standardized scales and brain imaging.
- Results indicated that tele-CBT-I improved sleep quality more significantly than TAU, altered the functional connectivity in areas related to the salience network, and showed a strong correlation between changes in connectivity and insomnia severity scores.
Purpose: Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder among patients undergoing hemodialysis for chronic kidney disease. This study aimed to translate the sleep condition indicator (SCI), an insomnia screening tool based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), into a traditional Chinese version (SCI-TC) and evaluate the reliability and validity of this version for patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted from November 2022 to June 2023 involved 200 patients on hemodialysis (mean age, 65.
Study Objectives: We examined the effects of nurse-led brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) on insomnia severity, sleep status, daytime function, quality of life, psychological distress levels, treatment response, and insomnia remission in young and middle-aged Asian adults with insomnia symptoms.
Methods: This 2-parallel, randomized controlled trial recruited 42 participants with insomnia symptoms randomly allocated to the nurse-led BBTI group or sleep hygiene group. The outcome measurements included the Insomnia Severity Index, sleep diary, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Brief Fatigue Inventory, RAND-36 Health Status Inventory, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine whether the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) are valid outcome measures for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). Specifically, we tested whether the factorial parameters of the ISI and the PSQI could remain invariant against CBT-I, which is a prerequisite to using their change scores as an unbiased measure of the treatment outcome of CBT-I.
Methods: A clinical data set including scores on the Chinese versions of the ISI and the PSQI obtained from 114 insomnia patients prior to and after a 6-week CBT-I program in Taiwan was analyzed.
Comorbidity and confounding factors in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and sleep disorders in children.
Psychol Res Behav Manag
October 2012
Sleep problems are commonly reported in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Research data regarding the complex and reciprocal relationship between ADHD and sleep disturbances has now accumulated. This paper is focused on the types of sleep problems that are associated with ADHD symptomatology, and attempts to untangle confounding factors and overlapping symptoms.
