Summary

This trial tests two different methods for treating insomnia in cancer survivors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult cancer survivors (breast, colon, lung, prostate, gynecologic) who are not currently metastatic and are treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper. Participants should have self-reported insomnia but aren't taking any sleep meds. They must be able to follow the study plan as judged by the researcher.
What is being tested?
The study compares two treatments for insomnia in cancer survivors: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). It aims to see which method is more effective in improving sleep quality.
What are the potential side effects?
While CBT and MBSR typically have minimal side effects compared to medication, some may experience temporary increases in distress or anxiety when confronting difficult thoughts or feelings during these therapies.
