Can a nurse or an app fix sleep after brain injury?
NCT ID NCT05402761
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTi) — guided by a nurse or through a mobile app — can improve sleep, mood, and thinking in people recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI). About 93 participants with chronic TBI and insomnia will be assigned to nurse-guided BBTi, app-based BBTi, or a control group. The goal is to see if these non-drug approaches can help TBI survivors sleep better and feel better without medication.
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) delivered by a nurse or via a mobile app
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, non-drug treatment for insomnia in TBI survivors, improving sleep, mood, and thinking skills without medication.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (93 participants) comparing two behavioral approaches. Results may not apply to all TBI patients, and the mobile version may prove less effective than in-person guidance.
