Can a 5-Week online sleep program help dementia patients and their caregivers rest better?
NCT ID NCT07572565
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a virtual cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) program, called REPAIR Sleep, can improve sleep and emotional well-being in people with dementia and their live-in caregivers. Over 5 weekly video sessions, participants learn techniques like setting consistent wake times, relaxing before bed, and changing unhelpful sleep thoughts. The trial will compare this program to a healthy living education group, tracking sleep diaries, actigraphy, and mood for 9 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) delivered via videoconferencing
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical, non-drug way to improve sleep and reduce stress for both people with dementia and their caregivers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small early-stage trial (120 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply to everyone. Success depends on participants sticking with the program, and sleep improvements may be modest.
