NCT ID NCT04007042

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

Sleep problems affect up to 90% of people with alcohol dependence and often lead to relapse. This study tests whether a short questionnaire called the Short Sleep Index (SSI) can reliably measure sleep quality compared to a longer, standard sleep questionnaire. Researchers will ask 100 adults with alcohol abuse or dependence to fill out both questionnaires and compare the results. If the SSI proves accurate, it could give doctors a fast way to spot sleep issues and address them early.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If the short questionnaire works well, doctors could quickly identify sleep problems in people with alcohol dependence and help prevent relapse.

What could go wrong

This is a small validation study, not a treatment trial. The questionnaire may not be accurate enough to replace longer, more detailed sleep assessments.
