SleepNow - A combined cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and physical exercise intervention in men with metastatic prostate cancer: results from a feasibility randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: focused on patients living with metastatic cancer. We examined the feasibility of the SleepNow intervention combining cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) with physical exercise in men with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa).

Patients/material and methods

We conducted a feasibility randomized trial in patients under treatment for castration resistant mPCa with insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI] score ≥ 8). Patients were randomized 1:1 to either SleepNow or usual care. SleepNow is a manualized 12-week program consisting of bi-weekly sessions of physical exercise and four nurse-led sessions of CBT-I. Patients in usual care received no insomnia treatment. We assessed feasibility and measured objective and patient-reported outcomes at baseline and 3-months follow-up. Ch
