Improving Sleep Health Outcomes for Family Caregivers
United States31 participantsStarted 2025-06-26
Plain-language summary
This pilot study is intended to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an adapted sleep health intervention for family caregivers. The researchers are piloting a randomized clinical trial to test the Family Caregiver Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (Caregiver TranS-C), a tailored intervention that integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and caregiving guidance. The caregiving-tailored adaptation of the Transdiagnostic Intervention for Sleep and Circadian Dysfunction (TranS-C) has the potential to improve sleep health outcomes and enhance psychological well-being in family caregivers.

Inclusion criteria
. a raw score ≥ 25 (T-score ≥ 55.3) on the PROMIS-Sleep Disturbance Short Form 8b measure \[A T-score of 55 represents 1/2 standard deviation above the population mean\], or
. self-reported suboptimal sleep health on at least one of the sleep health dimensions (regularity, satisfaction, alertness, timing, efficiency, and duration)
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is specifically for family caregivers who are having sleep problems — does my caregiving situation and sleep history make this worth discussing as an option for me?
2The study is no longer enrolling new participants, so is there a similar active trial or program focused on caregiver sleep health that I could still join, or a waitlist I could get on?
3This trial measures things like sleep regularity, efficiency, duration, and daytime alertness — how would my doctor track those same markers in me regardless of whether I participate, so we can tell if my sleep is actually improving over time?
4Since this is listed as Phase NA, which often means it's a behavioral or non-drug intervention, what exactly would the study ask me to do day-to-day, and how realistic is that given my caregiving responsibilities?
5Are there evidence-based sleep treatments my doctor already recommends for caregivers — like cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia — that I should consider now rather than waiting to find a trial I can still enroll in?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
