Brief summary

Insomnia is a common and distressing symptom for patients on hemodialysis (HD), and there is evidence for a much larger impact on the health of patients. Chronic insomnia is disrupted sleep that occurs at least three nights per week and lasts at least three months. The SLEEP-HD study is a randomized open-label clinical trial to compare two types of treatment for insomnia in participants who have end-stage renal disease on HD, and who have been diagnosed with chronic insomnia. The two types of treatment involved in the study are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) or treatment with a drug (trazodone vs placebo). 126 participants will be enrolled who are undergoing HD in two study locations (Seattle, Washington and Albuquerque, New Mexico).

Detailed description

Most HD patients have significant impairments in quality of life, largely from the high frequency of disabling symptoms. Insomnia is one of the most frequently reported symptoms and studies of HD patients and/or other populations suggest that it is a significant contributor to other common symptoms and poor health outcomes. There are unique contributors to chronic insomnia in HD patients and these include the biologic effects of residual uremia after partial correction as is achieved with current dialysis technology, maladaptation to treatment schedules, and patients' napping during treatments. There is a compelling need to identify effective treatments for insomnia in HD patients and the interventions being studied in this clinical trial, telehealth cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and trazodone, have a strong scientific premise. If telehealth (web-based) CBT-I is effective for insomnia in HD patients, it will make a treatment that is presently inaccessible available to patients. Trazodone is widely used but the data on efficacy for insomnia are limited; no such data exist for HD patients. SLEEP-HD is a parallel group randomized controlled trial wherein 125 HD patients with chronic insomnia, treated in community-based dialysis facilities in Seattle and Albuquerque, will be randomized 1:1:1 over 31 months to 6-week treatment with telehealth CBT-I, trazodone, or medication placebo.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALCognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia

Once weekly treatment sessions for 6 weeks. The content of each of these sessions will be adapted to include changes in behavior during HD treatments (such as napping) and to help patients better adjust to treatment schedules. The CBT-I sessions will be delivered by a therapist face-to-face with the patient via a fully interactive video telehealth platform.

Patient-reported Outcomes (PRO) - Patient Health Questionnaire 9 - Short-term

Score from Patient Health Questionnaire 9, measuring depression, range 0 to 27. Higher scores indicates greater depression: at Week 7 describing the short-term effect of the intervention

Time frame: Week 7

Population: The model used to estimate means at week 7 and week 25 included all time points (weeks 0, 4, 7, 13, 25). All N=126 participants had the outcome on at least one time point. Thus the model included all participants, even those missing outcome at week 7 or week 25.
