(STELLAR Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new digital tool called Stellar Sleep, which provides online cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). Insomnia, a common sleep problem, affects many people and can lead to serious health issues. The trial aims to determine if this app can assist those who struggle with sleep and lack easy access to traditional therapy. It may suit individuals with insomnia who have regular access to a computer or smartphone. This trial seeks to simplify access to sleep issue support without requiring clinic visits. As an unphased trial, it offers a unique opportunity to access innovative therapy that could improve sleep without traditional barriers.
What prior data suggests that this digital CBT-I application is safe for treating insomnia?
Research shows that digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), such as the Stellar Sleep app, is generally safe for users. No specific reports of negative effects have emerged from using digital CBT-I platforms. This method relies on well-established CBT-I techniques that have been safely used in traditional therapy for years. As a digital version of these proven methods, the Stellar Sleep app is expected to be well-tolerated. Designed for ease of use and accessibility, the app helps ensure safe use. Although this is a new application, its foundation on established therapy techniques suggests it is safe for most people seeking to improve their sleep.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (Stellar Sleep) trial because it offers a fresh approach to tackling insomnia by delivering therapy online. Unlike traditional treatments like sleeping pills or in-person CBT, this web-based program makes it easier for people to access help from the comfort of their homes. This digital approach could provide more consistent and personalized support, potentially leading to better sleep improvements. Additionally, by combining general sleep education with specific CBT techniques, this method might enhance the effectiveness of therapy, giving people a new tool to improve their sleep health.
What evidence suggests that this digital CBT-I application is effective for treating insomnia?
Research has shown that cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the most effective treatment for insomnia, benefiting 70% to 80% of individuals with primary insomnia. In this trial, participants may receive a digital version of CBT-I, such as Stellar Sleep, which has proven effective for managing insomnia independently. These digital therapies increase the accessibility and affordability of CBT-I for many people. Stellar Sleep stands out by automatically recording sleep data from wearable devices, simplifying the tracking of sleep patterns. This feature can enhance treatment accuracy and lead to better sleep.12678
