RESTore Plus Trial Summary

This trial will study how a targeted sleep intervention for people who have lost a spouse/partner affects sleep and inflammation. Participants will attend 2 visits & complete 6 online sessions with a trained facilitator.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've lost a spouse or long-term partner within the last 3 months and are having sleep problems. They need internet access for online sessions and must score above a threshold on a sleep quality survey. Excluded are non-English speakers, pregnant/nursing women, those with certain medical conditions, long-term users of prescribed sleep meds, diagnosed with specific sleep disorders (except controlled OSA), drug users, and people on immunological medications.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether targeted Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) can improve sleep among recently bereaved spouses compared to just getting information. Participants will either join six weekly online CBT-I sessions or attend one informational session and have their sleep monitored through watches and diaries at different stages.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a behavioral therapy trial focusing on insomnia after spousal loss rather than medication or invasive procedures, significant side effects aren't anticipated. However, discussing emotional topics during therapy could potentially cause temporary distress.
