Measure
Healthy Control
The healthy control group included individuals who were free of physical and psychiatric illness between the ages of 15-30.
Behavioral Counseling
Brief Behavioral Therapy for Sleep Disruption in IBD (BBTS-I). This treatment phase focuses on treating insomnia, a nighttime component of sleep disturbance delivered in 1:1 sessions which can be completed in person or by phone, except for initial session. Behavioral Counseling Within this arm, some participants offered bupropion-SR (bupropion-Sustained Release). 8-week trial of bupropion-SR (target dose: 200-300 mg/day). bup-SR, a noradrenergic dopaminergic reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). NDRI has been shown to improve fatigue and rapid eye movement-sleep (REM) in medically ill populations. bupropion-SR
Behavioral Counseling + Bupropion
Brief Behavioral Therapy for Sleep Disruption in IBD (BBTS-I) plus bupropion-SR (bupropion-Sustained Release). 8 -week trial of bupropion-SR (target dose: 200-300mg/day). Bupropion-SR, a noradrenergic dopaminergic reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). NDRI has been shown to improve fatigue and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) in medically ill populations.
