STATE Trial: SusTained Attention Training to Enhance Sleep (STATE)

May 9, 2018 updated by: Posit Science Corporation
This study is a validation study to document the acceptability of the Tonic and Phasic Alertness Training (TAPAT) training program in older adults with chronic late-life insomnia. The goal of this study is to employ a computerized attention-training program, TAPAT, designed for chronic late-life insomnia in a randomized, controlled trial to assess feasibility and initial efficacy in this population.
