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

Summary

This study tests a virtual, 4-session sleep program based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in 198 cancer survivors. Participants are randomly assigned to the program or usual care. The goal is to see if the program reduces insomnia severity, improves sleep quality, and eases anxiety and fatigue. The trial includes survivors at different stages of cancer survivorship to make the results more widely applicable.
