NCT ID NCT07317336
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a 4-week telehealth program called I-SLEPT for Veterans leaving a rehabilitation facility. The program combines sleep education and tips for staying active in meaningful activities. Researchers want to see if it is acceptable and feasible for Veterans, and whether it improves sleep and life engagement during the transition home.
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 it works, this could offer a practical, home-based program to help Veterans sleep better and stay active after rehab.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (60 people) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. Results may not apply to all Veterans.
