Brief Summary

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

Sleep disturbances have been shown to contribute to poorer recovery from a concussion. Furthermore, sleep disturbances have been associated with more frequent and severe post-concussion symptoms including headache, vertigo, anxiety, depression, and decreased short term memory reducing quality of life and productivity at work or school. Additionally, recent research indicates that individuals with a concussion who have poor sleep quality have increased levels of Neurofilament light (NfL) and tau biomarkers indicating that there may still be axonal damage after weeks or months after the initial concussion injury. Post-concussion symptoms have been associated with higher levels of these biomarkers and there has been a report of higher levels of NfL and tau years following a concussion event. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is an effective treatment for insomnia yet it remains unclear if this treatment method is effective in improving sleep outcomes, reducing concomitant post-concussion symptoms, and biomarkers of neural injury/risk in individuals post- concussion. The central hypothesis for this project is treating sleep disturbances will yield a clinically relevant reduction in concomitant post-concussion symptoms. The objective for the proposed study is to determine if CBT-I will reduce insomnia symptoms and improve concomitant post-concussion symptoms in individuals after concussion and if symptom improvements are maintained at 6-weeks and 12-weeks after CBT-I intervention.

Study Groups

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

CBT-I Initial Group

The CBT-I Initial Group will start the CBT-I intervention immediately following baseline assessments. After re-assessment 1, participants in the CBT-I Initial Group will continue with typical activities while the WL group will receive the CBT-I intervention. After re-assessment 2, both groups continue typical activities. All participants will complete a third re-assessment 21 weeks after starting the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The CBT-I program is a 6-week, 1x/week, one-on-one program. The delivery of CBT-I will be done remotely over a secure teleconference service (Zoom) or phone. Participants will maintain a sleep diary during the course of the program to aid in tailoring the intervention. Each session lasts about 45-60min:

Wait List Group

The WL will wait 6 weeks before starting the CBT-I intervention. After re-assessment 1, participants in the CBT-I Initial Group will continue with typical activities while the WL group will receive the CBT-I intervention. After re-assessment 2, both groups continue typical activities. All participants will complete a third re-assessment 21 weeks after starting the study.
