Brief summary

This study tests the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a seven-session cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention to treat sleep and pain problems in youth ages 11-17 with co-morbid headache and insomnia.

Detailed description

Cognitive-behavioral interventions have been developed to treat childhood insomnia and childhood headache. In this study, we have combined strategies from these interventions into a single, seven-session protocol to treat sleep and pain problems in youth with co-morbid headache and insomnia. In this single-arm pilot study, we will test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of this intervention.
