Introduction:

Insomnia is one of the most common complications in cancer patients, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment for insomnia in the general population and patients with a cancer diagnosis. Traditional CBT-I is susceptible to limitations such as geography, physical condition, and cost of access to healthcare, hindering its widespread adoption. With the application and development of digitalization and artificial intelligence providing opportunities for the administration and promotion of Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (DCBT-I) to provide a better sleep treatment option for cancer pain patients, this study aims to evaluate its efficacy.

Methods:

This single-center trial will randomize 158 cancer pain patients with insomnia to DCBT-I or sleep hygiene education (1:1) to test if DCBT-I is superior for improving sleep quality. Assessments will also cover pain intensity, mental health, and quality of life.

Discussion:

This study will provide valuable clinical evidence that DCBT-I helps to improve sleep quality, pain intensity, mental health, and quality of life in cancer pain patients suffering from insomnia and contributes to the dissemination of this non-pharmacological alternative treatment option.

Conclusion:

This study protocol outlines a rigorous randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (DCBT-I) compared to Sleep Hygiene Education (SHE) in cancer pain patients with comorbid insomnia. The Resleep smartphone-based intervention integrates evidence-based CBT-I components (sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, and relaxation training) to address the limitations of traditional therapy, such as accessibility and cost.

Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Management of Insomnia

The sleep cycle, an integral part of human health, consists of several stages with distinct characteristics and functions. It begins with a transition from wakefulness to sleep, known as the light sleep phase, followed by the restorative deep sleep phase, essential for physical recovery and growth. The cycle concludes with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase, characterized by high brain activity and vivid dreaming. Insomnia, a prevalent sleep disorder, involves difficulty falling asleep, staying...
