Повышение эффективности прекращения приема снотворных препаратов в учреждениях первичной медико-санитарной помощи

6 ноября 2026 г. обновлено: National Jewish Health

Повышение эффективности прекращения приема снотворных препаратов в учреждениях первичной медико-санитарной помощи посредством контролируемого снижения уровня приема лекарств и цифровой когнитивно-поведенческой терапии бессонницы

Many individuals with insomnia seek treatment in primary care settings, where they often receive prescription hypnotic medications as their first and sometimes only treatment. However, extended use of these medications can lead to reliance and increased health risks, such as falls and cognitive impairments. While evidence-based approaches like physician-supervised medication tapering exist, they're not widely available in primary care or other medical clinics.

Most primary care providers are willing to explore non-drug treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI), but accessing such treatments can be challenging outside of specialized sleep centers. This gap between research and practice underscores the need for cost-effective interventions to manage insomnia and help patients reduce their reliance on hypnotics in primary care.

In response to this need, the project aims to conduct a large randomized trial comparing a combined digital CBT (dCBTI) and medication tapering intervention with medication tapering alone. We'll recruit 250 patients reliant on hypnotics across collaborating clinics and the general public . The main goal is to assess the effectiveness of dCBTI+SMT compared to SMT alone in reducing hypnotic use and improving insomnia symptoms.

Additionally, we'll evaluate factors affecting the adoption and implementation of these interventions at the patient, provider, and system levels. This information will inform future implementation strategies to disseminate effective treatments in primary care.

Furthermore, we'll gather data to identify which patients benefit most from dCBTI+SMT. Overall, this study will provide valuable insights into the feasibility, clinical utility, and acceptability of these interventions in managing insomnia and reducing reliance on hypnotic medications in medical settings. Ultimately, this project represents a crucial first step toward making accessible and cost-effective strategies available to improve the quality of life for millions of chronic users of sleep aids.

Подробное описание

Treatment-seeking insomnia sufferers most often present in primary care where their first and usually only treatment is a prescription hypnotic medication. More than 65% of individuals prescribed hypnotics use them for more than a year, and more than 30% remain on them for more than five years. Such agents may be useful for acute insomnia and certain cases with chronic sleep difficulties, but prolonged hypnotic use can lead to dependency and increased morbidity (e.g., falls, cognitive/driving impairments). Reducing or discontinuing hypnotics after prolonged use is a challenging task for both prescribing physicians and the patients who use them. Although evidenced-based physician-supervised medication tapering (SMT) protocols have shown efficacy, such interventions have yet to be disseminated widely in primary care. Most primary care providers (PCPs) are willing to refer their insomnia patients to alternative evidence-based non-drug treatments such as cognitive behavioral insomnia therapy (CBTI), but such treatment is often difficult to access outside of specialty sleep centers. Given this gap between research and clinical practice, there is a pressing need to develop and validate cost-effective interventions to facilitate the management of insomnia and hypnotic tapering in medical settings. This study has been carefully designed to address these issues. Investigators will conduct a large randomized trial (RCT) to compare the combined digital CBT (dCBTI)/SMT intervention, to the SMT intervention delivered alone for producing hypnotic discontinuation and insomnia symptom improvement. A sample of 250 hypnotic-reliant patients drawn from collaborating clinics and the general public will serve as study participants. The main objective of the project is to compare the performance of dCBTI+SMT with SMT used alone for achieving hypnotic reduction/discontinuation and insomnia symptom improvement. In addition, investigators will incorporate an Effectiveness-Implementation assessment into the RCT to identify patient- provider- and system-level factors that may impact adoption, implementation and maintenance of the types of interventions tested. Findings from the effectiveness/implementation should help design future trials of implementation strategies identified herein to promote dissemination of dCBTI and SMT interventions into primary care should these treatments prove effective in the current trial. Investigators also will gather exploratory data to determine who responds best to dCBTI/SMT. This study will provide new and useful information about the feasibility, clinical utility, and patient-, provider-, and system-level acceptability of these interventions to manage insomnia and reduce/eliminate hypnotic use in primary care and other medical settings. This project should serve as a necessary first step toward the eventual dissemination of accessible, cost-effective strategies to manage a significant public health problem and improve the quality of life of millions of chronic users of controlled-substance sleep aids.

Inclusion criteria will be used to enroll individuals who are: (1) 18 years of age or older; (2) able to read and effectively communicate in English (without the use of a translator), as study resources are not available in other languages; (3) able to access reliable internet and a device with web-camera and Bluetooth capabilities that can be used for virtual study visits, study survey completion, digital insomnia intervention, and app-based activity tracking; (4) an established patient with a medical provider within a healthcare practice that has been trained on structured medication taper practices by our study group or able to confirm an established relationship with a prescribing provider and is willing to involve that provider if enrolled; (5) a history of extended (≥ 3 consecutive months) and frequent (≥3 nights/week on average) use of an eligible medication (see Appendix A); (6) a desire to decrease/eliminate hypnotic use; (7) a history of insomnia that meets DSM-560 criteria for insomnia disorder (as measured by the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5, SCID98); and (8) willingness to provide written informed consent to participate.
