About this study

The proposed parallel-group randomized controlled trial add-on superiority of the iCBT-I program with CAU as a control condition will let us investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of iCBT-I. Analysis of baseline characteristics of the participants aims to find predictors of outcome

Read the detailed description

Application of internet-delivered cognitive-behavior treatment for insomnia (iCBT-I) is a perspective method that can fill the gap created by the discrepancy between insomnia cases and the number of trained professionals. Although the effectiveness of this method was proven in multiple studies conducted in research settings, it is unclear if iCBT-I outperforms pharmacotherapy which remains a widely used alternative of cognitive-behavior therapy of insomnia (CBT-I). Predictors, mediators, and moderators of treatment effect remain uncertain since previous studies often give contradictory results. The present study aims to investigate clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an internet-based CBT-I program Sleepsy in comparison with care as usual (CAU) among patients with chronic insomnia (CI) recruited from clinical settings. Baseline data will be further analyzed to find predictors of treatment outcome

For these purposes, a parallel-group randomized controlled trial add-on superiority of the iCBT-I program with CAU as a control condition was designed. 110 participants will be referred from the medical doctors in Moscow. Both groups will have access to CAU, treatment prescribed by the referred doctor. Patients of the first group will additionally get access to the iCBT-I program with the opportunity to contact a specialist within the program (guidance on request) in a secured environment. The primary outcome is insomnia severity change from pre- to posttreatment and to post-follow-up. Secondary outcomes include change subjective sleep characteristics, daytime symptoms, comorbid affective disorders, dysfunctional cognitions and behavior, healthcare consumption, and productivity losses. Predictors analysis will include baseline scores of the aforementioned outcomes along with treatment expectancies, personality traits

To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first study of iCBT-I to be conducted in clinical settings. We expect that this approach lets us determine the target group more precisely and exclude health problems that may interfere with treatment. It is also expected that patients, referred to iCBT-I from the doctor's office will be more motivated to finish the treatment course that will reduce the drop out rate. CAU as control condition let us reconstruct clinical situation facing practicing doctor. On the other hand, CAU may result in a loss of power to detect a meaningful difference. Limitation of our study is in the impossibility of blinding participants to the treatment condition

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (iCBT-I)Behavioural

    The 2-month intervention consists of educational material divided into 8 modules, which provide the rationale for the CBT-I interventions: sleep restriction; stimulus control; cognitive techniques; relaxation techniques. Information is presented in 10-minute videolectures.

    The program includes a sleep diary to insert bedtime and waketime, sleep latency, total sleep time, night awakenings.

    All material will be delivered through the internet program and expected to be elaborated by the patient but with the opportunity to contact a specialist via the feedback form (guidance on request) in a secured environment if they face difficulties or possible negative effects of the intervention. The content of the program is based on an already established internet-based self-help program against insomnia that was already tested in a previous study.

  • Care as usual (CAU)Other

    Intervention includes all variety of therapy methods that can be prescribed by medical doctors (MD): pharmacotherapy, behavioral recommendations, face-to-face psychotherapy. Prescriptions may be made during the first visit to MD, or at any point in the study on a next doctor visit, or during visits to the doctors of other medical centers. All concurrently applied treatments will be assessed repeatedly by self-report

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)

    Change of ISI from pre- to post-treatment and post-follow-up. Change is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. increase of insomnia severity.

    The ISI is a seven-item insomnia assessment tool. The 5-point Likert scale is used to rate each item (e.g., 0 = no problem; 4 = very severe problem), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 28. The total score is interpreted as follows: absence of insomnia (0-7); sub-threshold insomnia (8-14); moderate insomnia (15-21); and severe insomnia (22-28)

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

Secondary outcomes (47)
  1. Sleep Onset Latency (SOL),

    Sleep diary derived measure averaged for 1 week pre- post-treatment, post-follow-up. For the purposes of effectiveness investigation change of SOL from pre- to post-treatment and post-follow-up. Change of SOL is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. increase of sleep latency

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  2. Total Sleep Time (TST)

    Sleep diary derived measure averaged for 1 week pre- post-treatment, post-follow-up. For the purposes of effectiveness investigation change of TST from pre- to post-treatment and post-follow-up. Change of TST is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the worse outcome, negative values correspond to the better outcome, i.e. increase of total sleep time

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  3. Sleep Efficiency (SE)

    Sleep diary derived measure calculated as the ratio of TST to time spent in bed multiplied by 100%, averaged for 1 week pre- post-treatment, post-follow-up. For the purposes of effectiveness investigation change of SOL from pre- to post-treatment and post-follow-up. Change of SE is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the worse outcome, negative values correspond to the better outcome, i.e. increase of sleep efficiency

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  4. Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO)

    Sleep diary derived measure averaged for 1 week pre- post-treatment, post-follow-up. For the purposes of effectiveness investigation change of WASO from pre- to post-treatment and post-follow-up. Change of WASO is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. increase of the time spent awake after sleep onset

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  5. Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)

    Disorder non-specific 9-item scale which measures the severity of fatigue and its effect on a person's activities and lifestyle. Each item is evaluated on the 7 points Likert scale (e.g., 1 indicates strongly disagree and 7=strongly agree.), yielding a total score ranging from 9 to 63. A higher score reflects a higher level of fatigue. Change of FSS was calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. increase of fatigue

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  6. Short-form Survey (SF-12 Version 1.0)

    The Short Form Survey (SF-12)is calculated as a summary of the mental component score (MCS-12) and a physical component score (PCS-12). Total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better functioning. The subscale scores are represented as T-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the general population. A score of < 50 on the PCS-12 is a cut-off to determine a physical condition; score of <42 on the MCS-12 may be indicative of 'clinical depression'. For this study we used change of the SF-12 total score as outcome. Change of SF-12 is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the worse outcome, negative values correspond to the better outcome, i.e. increase of physical and mental health functioning

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  7. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)

    Measure asking propensity for 'dosing' in eight daytime situations from 0 = never to 3= very high propensity, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 24 with normal score < 9.

Change of BAI is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. increase of anxiety

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  9. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II)

    1-questions inventory with a 4-point Likert scale and ranging answers from 0 to 3, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 63. A BDI cutoff higher than 28 indicates severe depression. Change of BDI-II is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. increase of depression

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  10. Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI)

Change of SHI is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. worsening of sleep hygiene habits

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  11. Sleep Locus of Control Questionnaire (SLC)

    variant validated in Russia comprises 8 questions scored using a 6-point Likert scale ranging each answer from 1 = strongly disagree; 6 = strongly agree, yielding a total score ranging from 8 to 48. The Russian adaptation of the scale has shown internal reliability of 0.41. Higher SLC score corresponds to the more marked external locus of control. Change of SLC is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. more prominent external locus of control of sleep

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  12. Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes About Sleep Scale (DBAS)

    designed to identify and assess the severity of various sleep and insomnia-related cognitions. It consists of 16 questions with a Likert scale ranging answers from 0 = strongly disagree to 10 = strongly agree with a total score ranging from 0 to 160. Higher DBAS score reflects more severe dysfunctional thinking. The Russian adaptation of the scale has high internal reliability of 0.86. Change of DBAS is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. more prominent dysfunctional beliefs about sleep

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  13. Anxiousness Personality Inventory for DSM-5 Faceted Brief Form (PID-5-FBF) Predictive Effect on ISI Improvement

    100-item self-report inventory designed to assess the 25 pathological personality trait facets and the 5 domains based on the dimensional trait model (DSM-5 Section III). Anxiousness is one of the personality trait facets and its total score is a sum of 4 items which are rated on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 (very false or often false) to 3 (very true or often true). Therefore the total score may vary from 0 to 12, where higher value represent the higher expression of this pathological facet

    Measured: Once at baseline assessment

  14. Trimbos Questionnaire for Costs Associated With Psychiatric Illness (TiC-P) Health Care Consumption

    This measure aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of iCBT-I. The first part of TIC-P consists of 14 questions on the volume of health care uptake: including the number of medical consultations, dose, and frequency of medication, days of inpatient care. Multiplication of these data by the actual price of medical help produces the cost of medical care as the outcome. The higher outcome represents higher costs of medical care. Change of TiC-P Health care consumption is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. higher costs of the healthcare consumption

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  15. Trimbos Questionnaire for Costs Associated With Psychiatric Illness (TiC-P) Short Form- Health and Labour Questionnaire (SF-HLQ)

    This measure aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of iCBT-I. The second part of TIC-P is represented by the Short Form- Health and Labour Questionnaire (SF-HLQ), an instrument to collect data on productivity losses (presenteeism and absenteeism) due to health problems. Costs of productivity losses are calculated by multiplication of missed working hours by standard cost price of productivity. The higher outcome represents higher costs of productivity losses. Change of TiC-P productivity losses is calculated as the value at the earlier time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values correspond to the better outcome, negative values correspond to the worse outcome, i.e. higher costs of the productivity losses

    Measured: pre- to post-treatment 2 months, pre-treatment to follow-up 5 months

  16. Success Expectancy

    Aims to measure patients' beliefs about the expected treatment success as one of the important outcome predictors. For its evaluation we will use one adapted question of Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire: "At this point, how successfully do you think this treatment will be in reducing your insomnia symptoms?" at scale from 1 to 9. This question was chosen as well representing high correlation for both factors: credibility and expectancy, and most logically formulated for the intended purpose

    Measured: Once at baseline assessment

  17. User Satisfaction

    feedback questionnaire developed for this study. It includes 1 question about satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the treatment with a 5-point Likert scale, from 1 (very poor/not at all useful) to 5 (very, good/very useful).

    The questionnaire also contains open questions aiming for utilitarian goals, i.e. to improve the program (possible negative effects of the intervention if any: deterioration of insomnia symptoms, adverse effects, novel symptoms; and about improvement suggestions, what participants liked most if they would recommend it to a friend with insomnia). These questions are not included in questionnaire score

    Measured: After completion of iCBT-I course: week 8 after randomization for arm iCBT-I +CAU; week 28 after randomization for arm CAU

  18. System Usability Scale (SUS)

    10-item non-specific questionnaire used to collect a user's subjective rating of a product's (products, websites, applications, hardware, or software) usability and learnability. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 ("strongly Disagree") to 4 ("strongly Agree"). For positively-worded items (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9), the score contribution is the scale position minus 1. For negatively-worded items (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10), it is 5 minus the scale position. To get the overall SUS score, multiply the sum of the item score contributions by 2.5. Thus, SUS scores range from 0 to 100 in 2.5-point increments. Higher SUS score reflects better subjective usability of the program.

    Measured: After completion of iCBT-I course: week 8 after randomization for arm iCBT-I +CAU; week 28 after randomization for arm CAU
