SHADES Trial Summary

This trial will test if an updated insomnia treatment improves CVD factors & if this is due to improved sleep. 200 participants will get either the treatment or an active control. Results will be measured for CVD factors & sleep.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 40 who are primary care patients at Eskenazi Health with insomnia and a higher risk of heart disease. They must have confirmed insomnia disorder and specific cardiovascular risk factors within the past five years, but can't join if they're pregnant, have severe cognitive issues, acute suicide risk, certain sleep restrictions or disorders like sleep apnea, bipolar disorder or psychosis, use CPAP machines for breathing at night, have had serious heart conditions or inflammatory diseases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The SHADES clinical trial tests whether an updated insomnia treatment improves factors related to heart disease. It compares two groups: one receives the SHADES intervention (a mix of internet-based therapy, phone calls and face-to-face sessions) while the other gets standard care including sleep education. The goal is to see if better sleep reduces inflammation and other risks linked to heart problems in those with chronic insomnia.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While this study focuses on behavioral treatments rather than medications which typically carry more side effects; potential discomforts may include inconvenience from frequent monitoring or stress from discussing personal health issues during therapy sessions.

SHADES Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: SHADES InterventionExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
The SHADES intervention is a 6-month, modernized, collaborative care intervention in which a multidisciplinary team delivers established insomnia treatments consistent with patient preference. It uses a stepped, flexible, treat-to-target approach that harnesses technology to maximize access to and convenience of effective treatments and to minimize personnel, training, and space requirements. Our Intervention Team consists of an insomnia clinical specialist, a clinical behavioral sleep medicine and CBT-I delivery expert, a sleep research/medicine expert, and the patients' primary care providers. Treatments to be delivered are CBT-I in different modalities - internet, phone, and face-to-face - all of which are empirically supported.
Group II: Active ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Active Control (AC) consists of sleep education and hygiene (study staff), symptom monitoring (study staff), and usual primary care for insomnia (clinical staff).
