Summary

The aim of the Young Adult Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (YAC) study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Delivering Online "ZZZ's with Empirical support (DOZE) app, a unique digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) in young adult patients with chronic pain.

Detailed description

Sleep, activity, and pain interactions have the potential to impact almost all important protective and regulatory processes in the body. Long-term sleep disruption is associated with increased pain sensitivity, prolonged pain duration, and development of chronic pain. Degree of pain relief can directly impact the quality and disruption of sleep, mood, behavior, social participation, and has a devastating impact on Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL). Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) is a behavioral modification approach and is currently a frontline therapy for adults with sleep disorders. However, CBTi is still in early stages of development for adolescent and young adult populations, and less so for youth with comorbid mental and physical health conditions and chronic pain. Primary aim: Assess the feasibility of implementing the DOZE app. Secondary aim: 1). To examine the variance in effectiveness outcomes, including sleep health, pain, and overall Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL). 2). To determine the required sample size for a future definitive trial.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Delivering Online "ZZZ's with Empirical support (DOZE) app	The DOZE app is a unique digital CBTi intervention that can be used on any mobile phone, tablet or computer, using the iPhone Operating System (iOS) or Android software. It is an innovative program that consists of an integrated smart phone app and web self-management system ("DOZE") to help adolescents and young adults to sleep better. It allows data capture through entries in a sleep diary and calculation of specific clinical indices. The acquisition of baseline sleep health data over a two-week period is then used to provide personalized targets and tailored therapeutic interventions during the treatment phase. The app also includes a self-monitoring tool that fosters goal setting and provides feedback on sleep and goal attainment. DOZE allows for real time assessment of sleep related behaviors and customized reports and graphs from the young adults' data. The app provides reminders about specific goals and positive feedback (increasing scores) for each step towards a goal.
OTHER	Sleep diary	The control group will receive the control version of the DOZE app where the patients will be able to access the sleep diary only, without the CBTi intervention. Participants will simply use the app to input entries into their sleep diary as an attention control over a 10-week period.
