Summary
This trial compares treatments to help women Veterans with insomnia and PTSD improve their PTSD treatment readiness & engagement.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women Veterans over 18 who have PTSD and insomnia, received care from VAGLAHS in the past year, and can consent to participate. It's not for those with severe health/emotional issues, drug/alcohol problems, prior CBT-I therapy or extensive PTSD treatment, recent pregnancy, untreated sleep apnea, unstable housing or medical conditions, or remission of symptoms.
What is being tested?
The study compares trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) with a psychoeducational intervention in treating insomnia and improving PTSD treatment readiness among women Veterans. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments which consist of five sessions each.
What are the potential side effects?
As this trial involves psychological therapies rather than medications, typical side effects associated with drugs are not expected. However participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing traumatic experiences during sessions.
