Study protocol for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in patients with primary brain tumor: A single-arm phase 2a proof-of-concept trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep disturbance is among the most common symptoms endorsed by patients with primary brain tumor (PwPBT), with many reporting clinically elevated insomnia and poor management of their sleep-related symptoms by their medical team. Though Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) remains the front-line treatment for sleep disturbance, CBT-I has yet to be evaluated in PwPBT. Thus, it is unknown whether CBT-I is feasible, acceptable, or safe for patients with primary brain tumors.

Methods

PwPBT (N = 44) will enroll and participate in a six-week group-based CBT-I intervention delivered via telehealth. Feasibility will be based on pre-determined metrics of eligibility, rates and reasons for ineligibility, enrollment, and questionnaire completion. Accepta
