Phone therapy aims to boost brain health in older HIV patients
NCT ID NCT07272863
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a short, telephone-delivered insomnia treatment (BBTI) can improve sleep and cognitive function in 214 older adults with HIV, compared to a mindfulness approach (BMT). Participants will complete four weekly phone sessions and attend in-person visits for sleep and thinking tests over one year. The goal is to find a practical way to support brain health in this aging population.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI) and Brief Mindfulness Treatment (BMT), both delivered via telephone
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a simple, phone-based way to improve sleep and thinking in older adults with HIV, potentially reducing dementia risk.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with no results yet. The benefits may be small or not last long, and the findings may not apply to everyone with HIV.
