Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a brief, behavioral treatment for insomnia is effective in addressing social and occupational functioning and overall health among Veterans with insomnia disorder.

Detailed description

This study is a randomized, controlled trial of a telephone-based, brief insomnia treatment in primary care in order to accomplish the goal of improving psychosocial functioning in Veterans who meet criteria for Insomnia Disorder.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia	Participants will receive 4 weeks of Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI). BBTI consists of two in-person sessions, with the two other sessions conducted via telephone. BBTI emphasizes behavioral elements of insomnia treatment. Treatment begins with sleep education and discussion of the biological rhythms that influence sleep cycles. Next, a series of interventions are employed that are derived from sleep restriction and stimulus control techniques.
BEHAVIORAL	Progressive Muscle Relaxation	Participants will receive 4 weeks of progressive muscle relaxation training (PMRT). PMRT consists of two in-person and two phone sessions. Treatment begins with training on muscle tensing and relaxing, and advances to progressively more efficient tensing-relaxing and passive relaxation exercises. Sessions are employed that teach techniques and problem-solve barriers to the use of PMRT.
