Summary
This pilot study is testing whether a web-based insomnia treatment called SHUTi can help Black/African American prostate cancer survivors sleep better. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to either the SHUTi program or an educational website. The study will check if the program is easy to use and acceptable, and whether it improves sleep and well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sleep Healthy Using the Internet (SHUTi) - a web-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide an accessible, non-drug treatment option for insomnia in Black prostate cancer survivors, improving their sleep and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The web-based approach may not work for all individuals, and the study does not test long-term effects.
