Hiv, Insomnia

Brief summary

This randomized trial will determine the effects of internet cognitive behavioral therapy on measures of systemic inflammation in HIV-positive people receiving antiretroviral therapy.

Detailed description

The primary objective of this pilot trial is to evaluate the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) on changes in circulating levels of hsCRP at 24 weeks in virologically-suppressed, HIV-positive adults with insomnia, defined as having an Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score ≥ 11. Secondary objectives include comparing changes in hsCRP at 12 weeks, changes in other circulating inflammation biomarkers (IL-6, sCD14, sCD163, CD14+CD16+ monocytes) at both 12 and 24 weeks, and ISI scores and other self-reported patient outcomes at both 12 and 24 weeks.

Interventions

DEVICESHUTi

SHUTi is the empirically supported, internet CBT-I that is fully accessible via tablets and smartphones. It uses a self-guided, fully automated, interactive, multimedia format to deliver six 45-minute sessions, the structure and content of which mirror traditional face-to-face CBT-I. Session content includes sleep restriction, stimulus control, sleep hygiene, cognitive restructuring, and relapse prevention. SHUTi is enhanced through a variety of interactive features, including personalized goal setting, graphical feedback based on inputted symptoms, animations and illustrations to enhance comprehension, quizzes to test user knowledge, patient vignettes, and video-based expert explanation. Across sessions, patients also receive tailored sleep recommendations and feedback based on the sleep diary data they enter into the program.

BEHAVIORALSleep Education/Hygiene

A research assistant (RA) will deliver the active control procedures. During the first 4 weeks, the RA will have two calls with each control participant - one 45-minute call on insomnia education (including their HIV provider's role in its management) and one 45-minute call on sleep hygiene practices. To end the first call, the RA will email or mail a list of local behavioral health services to patients and will encourage them to follow-up with their HIV provider. We will then notify the HIV provider, which will encourage them to address their patient's insomnia and provide the same list of local services.

Inclusion criteria

* HIV-1 infection, documented as listed clinically in the participant's electronic medical record by any of the following tests: (1) any licensed rapid HIV test, (2) HIV enzyme test kit at any time prior to study entry, (3) at least one detectable HIV-1 antigen, or (4) at least one detectable plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load. * Age equal to or greater than 18 years. * Ongoing receipt of stable antiretroviral therapy of any kind for at least 180 days prior to the date of the HIV-1 RNA value determining eligibility. * HIV-1 RNA level \< 75 copies/mL at Screening. NOTE: There are no CD4 cell count eligibility criteria for this trial. -ISI score ≥ 11 at Screening. NOTE: Use of sleeping aids/medications is permitted as long as the ISI score criterion is met.

Exclusion criteria

* Inability to complete written, informed consent. * Incarceration at the time of any study visit. * Active suicidality at Entry, as determined by the patient's HIV provider or social worker following a positive response (1, 2, or 3) to PHQ-9 Item #9 and a positive response (yes) to one or more of the three questions (for Question #3, the previous attempt must be within the past 10 years) on the Patient Suicidality Form (see Appendix). * Diagnosed disease or process, besides HIV infection, associated with increased systemic inflammation (including, but not limited to, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel diseases, or other collagen vascular diseases). NOTE: Hepatitis B or C co-infections are NOT exclusionary, but treatment for hepatitis C cannot be provided during study participation. * End stage renal disease requiring renal replacement therapy (dialysis, transplantation). * Known or suspected malignancy requiring systemic treatment within 180 days of the Entry Visit. NOTE: Localized treatment for skin cancers is not exclusionary. -Therapy for serious medical illnesses within 14 days prior to the Entry Visit. NOTE: Therapy for serious medical illnesses that overlaps with a study visit will result in postponement of that study visit until the course of therapy is completed; postponement outside of the allowed study visit timeframe will result in study discontinuation. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding during the course of the study. * Receipt of investigational agents, cytotoxic chemotherapy, systemic immunosuppressive therapies, systemic glucocorticoids (of any dose), or anabolic steroids at the Entry Visit. NOTE: Physiologic testosterone replacement therapy or topical steroids is not exclusionary. Inhaled/nasal steroids are not exclusionary as long as the participant is not also receiving HIV protease inhibitors. * Active drug use or dependence that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements. * History of bipolar disorder or a psychotic disorder, including schizophrenia. NOTE: Depressive disorders are not exclusionary. * Current sleep disorder diagnosis other than insomnia disorder (e.g., sleep apnea). * Have a schedule requiring a bedtime earlier than 8:00pm or later than 2:00am or arising time earlier than 4:00am or later than 10:00am (thus preventing adoption of SHUTi interventions).
