Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Trauma-Related Insomnia in Veterans
NCT01176123 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Understanding the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for trauma-related insomnia (CBT-I) is important because sleep difficulties often persist after traditional post-trauma treatments are completed and other trauma-related symptoms have resolved. The objective of this study is to examine whether CBT-I will equivocally reduce problems falling and staying asleep (insomnia) related to military-related PTSD when administered in person versus through telephone therapy to veterans living in rural areas. Rural populations are at a disadvantage in receiving treatment because of lack of access to healthcare services. Telemedicine uses technology (e.g., telephones) to provide distance counseling to the populations who lack access to health care. Thus, telephone-counseling strategies could provide broad access to interventions for management of trauma-related insomnia. Veterans who live more than 30 miles from Veterans Affairs (VA) PTSD specialty services will be offered participation in this study. All veterans receive 6 weeks of individual CBT-I for trauma-related insomnia. Participants will be randomized to one of two treatment conditions: (1) CBT-I in person or (2) CBT-I via telemedicine (defined as receiving treatment by telephone). No changes will be made to the CBT-I, other than mode of delivery, for the telemedicine group. Through this study the investigators hope to demonstrate the effectiveness of CBT-I for trauma-related insomnia can be delivered effectively to rural veterans in person and via telemedicine.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01176123
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01176123 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 24 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System, which has 2 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01176123 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Louisiana. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
