A multisite feasibility study of integrated cognitive-behavioral treatment for co-existing nocturia and chronic insomnia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nocturia (waking from sleep at night to void) and chronic insomnia frequently co-exist in older adults, contributing synergistically to sleep disturbance. Treatments typically target either nocturia or insomnia rather than simultaneously addressing shared mechanisms for these disorders.

Methods

We conducted a multisite feasibility study to: (1) test and refine a protocol for recruitment, randomization, and assessment of older adults with co-existing nocturia and insomnia; and (2) examine preliminary changes in outcome measures to inform a future larger, multisite clinical trial. Participants were men and women aged 60 years and older recruited from outpatient clinics, reporting an average of two or more nocturia episodes per night over the past 4 weeks and meeting
