NCT ID NCT05044975
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested three behavioral approaches—sleep restriction, stimulus control, and systematic light exposure—to help gynecologic cancer survivors who have trouble sleeping. 78 participants completed the program, and researchers measured changes in sleep quality and daytime impairment. The goal is to find safe, non-drug ways to improve sleep and quality of life for cancer survivors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioral interventions (sleep restriction, stimulus control, systematic light exposure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward effective non-drug ways to help gynecologic cancer survivors get better sleep and feel more rested.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (78 participants) without a control group, so results may not apply to everyone. Behavioral changes can be hard to maintain long-term.
