What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a special memory support program can help people aged 50 and older remember and stick to their sleep treatment. The program uses simple memory strategies alongside standard sleep therapy. Researchers will track sleep quality, daily functioning, and life satisfaction in 178 participants who also have mobility or income challenges.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Memory Support Intervention (a behavioral program that uses memory strategies to help patients remember and follow sleep treatment)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to make sleep treatments more effective for older adults, especially those with mobility or income challenges.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with no control group, so results may not prove the intervention works. It also focuses on a specific group, so findings may not apply to everyone.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 178 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

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.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

50 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion criteria: 1. Aged 50 years and older; 2. English language fluency; 3. Experiencing a mobility impairment; 4. Low income; 5. Exhibit a sleep or circadian disturbance as determined by endorsing 4 "quite a bit" or 5 "very much" (or the equivalent for reverse scored items) on one or more PROMIS-SD questions. 6. 25-30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, as a negative screen for cognitive impairment. 7. Able/willing to give informed consent. Exclusion criteria: 1. Severe untreated sleep disordered breathing (AHI\>30) or moderate untreated sleep disordered breathing with severe daytime sleepiness (AHI of 15-30 and Epworth Sleepiness Scale \>10); 2. Medical conditions that prevent a participant from comprehending and following the basic tenants of treatment (e.g., dementia) or that interfere with sleep in a manner that can't be addressed by a cognitive behavioral treatment (e.g., the Structured Clinical Interview for Sleep Disorders will be used to screen for narcolepsy, REM sleep behavior disorder) or that may preclude full participation (e.g., receipt of end of life care); 3. Homelessness; 4. Night shift work \>2 nights per week in the past 3 months; 5. Substance abuse/dependence only if it makes participation in the study unfeasible; 6. Suicide risk sufficient to preclude treatment on an outpatient basis.
