NCT ID NCT06589024
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase II study tests whether a computerized cognitive training program can improve sleep and brain health in 240 older adults (65+) with insomnia. Participants will do brain exercises at home for about 36 minutes a day, five days a week, for 36 sessions. The study compares this to sleep hygiene education to see if the training helps people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
computerized cognitive training program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug, at-home option to help older adults with insomnia sleep better and improve brain function.
What could go wrong
This is a phase II study, so it's still early. The training may not work for everyone, and results may not apply to all older adults with insomnia.
