Multicomponent Behavioral Sleep Intervention for Insomnia in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment (MBSI-I)
March 1, 2023 updated by: University of Pennsylvania
Insomnia symptoms in older adults with mild cognitive impairment represent a significant public health burden in terms of impaired quality of life, risks from untreated insomnia, and risks from pharmaceutical insomnia treatment.
To address the limitations in the most effective non-pharmacological treatments for insomnia in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, a randomized pilot study will be conducted to test a brief (4 week), tablet-based, personalized, multicomponent behavioral sleep intervention for insomnia, compared to a sleep education control, in this at-risk group.
The findings of the proposed project will inform future, larger scale clinical trials and may provide a novel and innovative way for older adults with mild cognitive impairment to achieve better sleep and health-related quality of life outcomes.

Participation Criteria
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
55 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Yes
Genders Eligible for Study
All
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- 1) age 55 and older
- 2) mild cognitive impairment (MCI) The Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status 13-item modified (TICS-M) version will be used to screen participants for eligibility in the study. We will include participants with TICS-M scores of 28-36, based off ranges and optimal cutpoints determined in various studies.
- 3) have insomnia symptoms a)answer yes to "Do you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, awakening too early, or have unrefreshing sleep" and b) have subjective sleep diary evidence of insomnia, with an average sleep onset latency >30 min or wakefulness after sleep onset of >60 min during the one week pre-treatment assessment
- 4) live in the community
- 5) speak English as primary language
Exclusion Criteria:
- 1) Presence of moderate to severe cognitive impairment defined as TICS score <28
- 2) Visual or manual dexterity impairment that prevents them from pressing yes/no buttons, or selecting a number at 24 point font
- 3) Current sedative-hypnotic or other sleep aid use on a regular or as needed schedule within the prior three months
- 4) Presence of an acute medical or psychiatric condition which, in the judgement of the research team, would interfere with the subject's ability to realistically follow the study protocol

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention Arm
Meaningful activity protocol during the day and Assisted Relaxation Therapy (ART) at night; includes 1) Sleep Hygiene Education; 2) Meaningful Activity Modules a) Physical Activity b) Cognitive Activity and c) Social engagement; 3) ART, a breath-based relaxation intervention that is coupled with a physical anchoring task.
Participants will complete a daily sleep diary, use the activity modules daily as pre-determined times personalized to the participant, use the ART software when they get in bed to help with insomnia symptoms, and wear an actiwatch for a four-week period.
Participants will have weekly to biweekly phone consultation with the research nurse.
|
The MBSI-I will include a meaningful activity protocol during the day and ART therapy at night.
|
Active Comparator: Control Arm
Study participants in the control group will also receive a tablet and watch, but the meaningful activity modules and ART software will not be accessible to them.
The sleep hygiene educational material represents an active control intervention and is recommended as part of the initial treatment of insomnia based on an NIH guide for sleep education.
This approach provides staff and technology interaction/attention that is comparable to the intervention arm, and thereby promotes adherence; it has been used as a placebo comparator for many insomnia treatment studies and has low attrition rates.
Control subjects will also be asked to complete electronic sleep diaries and wear the actiwatch on the non-dominant wrist to monitor sleep/wake patterns.
For both arms, participants will be asked to complete baseline assessments, 4-week (post-intervention) and 12-week (follow-up).

health related quality of life (HRQOL)
Time Frame: immediately post-intervention
|
RAND Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a multidomain scale that measures physical and mental components of HRQOL with eight subscales.
The 8 subscales contribute to two resulting component summaries: a mental component summary (MCS) and a physical component summary (PCS).
Both PCS and MCS scores range from 0 to 100 (lower scores indicate worse HRQOL).

Inflammatory Biomarkers including cytokines (IL-6, IL-1ß, TNF-α) and C-reactive protein (CRP)

Systemic inflammatory markers will be assayed using dried blood spots (DBS).
DBS provides an easy to obtain, transport, and analyze blood source.
Our Translational Core Laboratory utilizes a matrix independent platform (Mesoscale Discovery, Rockville MD), to support the assay of DBS for systemic inflammatory markers.
Participants who have trouble with the finger prick will be provided with verbal assistance at sample pick-up while the researcher maintains physical distance.
