Summary

This study explores whether a brief behavioral program can help cancer patients and their sleep partners get better rest. The program teaches techniques like limiting time in bed and going to bed only when sleepy, aiming to improve sleep efficiency. Participants, who are couples facing cancer, will be guided through the program over four weeks, and researchers will measure changes in sleep quality and related symptoms.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI), a behavioral intervention focusing on sleep restriction and stimulus control
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a practical, non-drug way to improve sleep and quality of life for cancer patients and their partners.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention requires commitment to changing sleep habits, and benefits may vary.

Expected to finish

Oct 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
