Summary

This trial tests whether brief behavioral sleep therapy and mindfulness, alone or combined, can reduce how often older women wake up at night to urinate. Women aged 65 and older with frequent nocturia and poor sleep will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: sleep therapy, mindfulness, both, or a control with sleep information only. The study measures changes in nighttime urination frequency, urine volume, and sleep quality over several months.

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 of insomnia (BBTI) and brief mindfulness intervention (MI), alone or combined
What this could lead to: If effective, these non-drug approaches could offer a safe way to reduce nighttime urination and improve sleep quality in older women.
What could go wrong: This is a small early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all women. The interventions require active participation and may not work for everyone.
