NCT ID NCT07363928
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a digital program called Sleepio, which provides cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia, could be used by people with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. Thirty participants were enrolled to see if the program was acceptable and easy to use. The goal was to gather information for a larger future trial, not to prove the treatment works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (Sleepio)
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could offer a non-drug way to improve sleep and quality of life for people with early memory problems.
What could go wrong
This was a very small feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The digital format may be difficult for some people with cognitive impairment to use.
