Summary

This study is testing a smartphone app designed to help people who are starting medication for opioid use disorder get better sleep. The app uses proven sleep therapy techniques and daily sleep diaries. Researchers will enroll 40 adults who are stable on buprenorphine and have poor sleep. The main goal is to see if people find the app easy to use and stick with it for 6 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mHealth application based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, app-based tool to help people in opioid recovery get better sleep, which may support their overall treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage feasibility study with only 40 participants. It is designed to see if people will use the app, not yet to prove it improves health outcomes.
