NCT ID NCT05523726
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether telehealth coaching from a nurse, based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (pCBT-I), could prevent or reduce insomnia and depression in 167 adults with low income or education. Participants had early signs of insomnia and were coached to improve sleep habits. The goal was to see if this approach could stop acute insomnia from becoming chronic and prevent depression.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
telehealth nurse coaching based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (pCBT-I)
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a low-cost, scalable way to prevent insomnia and depression in underserved communities.
What could go wrong
This is a completed but relatively small study (167 people) and results may not apply to everyone. The coaching is behavioral, so benefits depend on individual engagement and may not be long-lasting.
