Summary

This trial aims to test a mindfulness-based sleep program for pregnant women to improve their sleep quality and reduce the risk of perinatal depression. Perinatal depression is a common issue during pregnancy and after

Who is the study for?

This trial is for pregnant women between weeks 14-31 who are not currently in therapy for major depression or insomnia, have no current severe depression or long-term insomnia disorder, and score moderately on the Insomnia Severity Index. They should not be at high risk of pregnancy complications nor work night shifts or plan extensive travel soon.

What is being tested?

The study tests a mindfulness-based sleep program called PUMAS against usual treatment to see if it improves sleep and reduces cognitive arousal, potentially lowering the risk of perinatal depression during pregnancy and after birth.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a non-medical intervention focusing on mindfulness and sleep improvement techniques, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, participants may experience varying levels of comfort with the practices.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Perinatal Understanding of Mindful Awareness for Sleep (PUMAS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

PUMAS is a clinician-administered psychotherapy intervention for prenatal insomnia that includes six weekly 60-minute sessions in an individual format. PUMAS combines behavioral sleep strategies with mindfulness exercises and tailors all components to pregnancy to improve sleep quality. PUMAS will be delivered via telemedicine video.

Group II: Treatment-as-usual (TAU)Active Control1 Intervention

TAU reflects real-world care where patients and their providers make their own treatment decisions for treating prenatal insomnia. Common TAU options include over-the-counter sleep aids, sleep hygiene education, melatonin, and cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia. The TAU group will be well-characterized (i.e., we will monitor interventions administered by the usual care providers and collect information on dosage, frequency, duration, adherence) to best describe treatment options sought and completed in the real world.
