Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of single interventions (stimulus control instructions, sleep restriction therapy) and multi-component intervention (stimulus control instructions and sleep restriction therapy) for chronic insomnia in community dwelling older adults. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: stimulus control instructions, sleep restriction therapy, multi-component treatment (stimulus control instructions and sleep restriction therapy), or measurement control.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

stimulus control therapy

Focuses on strengthening the bed and bedroom as cues for sleepiness and sleep, weaken them as cues for arousal, and developing a consistent sleep-wake pattern

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

stimulus control therapy, sleep restriction therapy, multi-component treatment (stimulus control therapy, sleep restriction therapy)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Treatment was given weekly for 6 weeks. Sessions 1 - 4 were in a group format. Session 5 \& 6 were delivered individually by phone.

sleep restriction therapy

Sleep restriction therapy consolidates sleep by restricting the amount of time spent in bed and limiting sleep to a specific time period .

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

stimulus control therapy, sleep restriction therapy, multi-component treatment (stimulus control therapy, sleep restriction therapy)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Treatment was given weekly for 6 weeks. Sessions 1 - 4 were in a group format. Session 5 \& 6 were delivered individually by phone.

multi-component intervention

Combines stimulus control and sleep restriction: strengthen the bed and bedroom as cues for sleepiness and sleep, weaken them as cues for arousal, develop a consistent sleep-wake pattern, consolidate sleep by restricting the amount of time spent in bed and limit sleep to a specific time period

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

stimulus control therapy, sleep restriction therapy, multi-component treatment (stimulus control therapy, sleep restriction therapy)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Treatment was given weekly for 6 weeks. Sessions 1 - 4 were in a group format. Session 5 \& 6 were delivered individually by phone.
