Primary Outcome Measures:
- Changes in sleep parameters via polysomnography
- Changes in sleep parameters via self-reported sleep diary
- Changes in symptom severity as measured by Insomnia Severity Index
- Changes in symptom severity as measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
- Changes in symptom severity as measured by the Multi-dimensional Fatigue Inventory
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Changes in depression symptoms as measured by Beck Depression Inventory II
- Changes in quality of life as measured by a qualitative instrument
- Usability of the device as measured by a qualitative questionnaire
| Estimated Enrollment: | 200 |
| Study Start Date: | January 2006 |
Chronic primary insomnia is a highly prevalent condition, affecting up to 15% of the population. The condition is associated with daytime fatigue, lack of concentration, and decreased quality of life. Most people with chronic primary insomnia go untreated, because of a desire to avoid medication or lack of access to quality non-drug treatments. Therefore, an affordable, easy to use, and effective computer to help assess and treat insomnia symptoms could bring treatment to this population.
Comparison: We are comparing a new handheld computer that uses cognitive-behavioral treatment principles to a popular self-help manual for the treatment of primary insomnia symptoms.
