Brief summary

Purpose: To analyze the efficiency of Cognitive Behavioral Intervention in combination with phototherapy to reduce insomnia and improve glycemic control, quality of life, and CLOCK genes expression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Clinical, quasi-experimental, pre-post, explanatory, non-probability sampling. Subjects were invited to participate in Hospital Juárez de México. They received eight sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in combination with phototherapy. The assessment was carried out with validated instruments for Mexican population and gene expression was evaluated by real-time PCR.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Insomnia0 and 3 monthsThe Insomnia Scale Athens is made up of eight items, with a scale of Likert type with four response options that ranges of 0 (no sleep-related problem) to 3 (high presence of sleep problems). The first five items identify insomnia and the last three are aimed at identifying consequences of insomnia to the next day
Sleep quality0 and 3 monthsPittsburg sleep quality questionnaire,It provides a global rating in 7 components, in no problem, good quality, poor quality and very poor quality of sleep, it consists of 19 multiple option items.
Glycosylated hemoglobin0 and 3 monthsA venous blood sample will be taken and analyzed in the clinical analysis laboratory.
Quality of life0 and 3 monthsQuality of life questionnaire D39, contains 39 closed items that are grouped into five sections: Energy-Mobility (15 items: 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 25, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36), Diabetes control (12 items: 1, 4, 5, 14, 15, 17, 18, 24, 27, 28, 31 and 39); Anxiety-worry (four items: 2, 6, 8 and 22), Social burden (five items: 19, 20, 26, 37 and 38) and Sexual functioning (three items: 21, 23 and 30)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Gene expression analysis of CLOCK0 and 3 monthsThe determination of gene expression is carried out through the Trizol technique and real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR-RT) in a 4 ml blood sample taken in tubes with EDTA.
Gene expression analysis of BMAL10 and 3 monthsThe determination of gene expression is carried out through the Trizol technique and real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR-RT) in a 4 ml blood sample taken in tubes with EDTA.
Gene expression analysis of PER10 and 3 monthsThe determination of gene expression is carried out through the Trizol technique and real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR-RT) in a 4 ml blood sample taken in tubes with EDTA.
Gene expression analysis of PER20 and 3 monthsThe determination of gene expression is carried out through the Trizol technique and real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR-RT) in a 4 ml blood sample taken in tubes with EDTA.
