Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Treatment of Insomnia Comorbid With Sleep Disordered Breathing Using Armodafinil and/or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (NCT NCT02552303)

NCT ID: NCT02552303

Last Updated: 2017-07-31

Results Overview

This outcome measure is based on changes in sleep continuity, as assessed by the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), which is administered once at baseline and once at follow-up. The ISI (Morin, 1993) was used to assess perceived sleep difficulties or current insomnia symptom severity (i.e., past two weeks). The ISI is a 7-item, self-report instrument with good reliability and validity, and positively correlated with clinician-rated insomnia diagnoses (Bastien, Vallières, \& Morin, 2001). Total scores on the full 7-item scale range from 0 - 28 with higher values representing greater sleep continuity disturbance or insomnia severity. The four different treatment groups will be compared for differences.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 8 weeks of active study

Drop-out rates will be calculated by the number of protocol weeks the subject completed before withdrawing from the study. Drop out rates for subjects taking active v. placebo study medication were compared. Withdrawal indicates subjects who were either lost-to-follow-up (LTFU), chose to withdraw (self-withdrawn), were withdrawn by the study's PI (withdrawn by the investigator).
