Post-Concussion Sleep and Brain-heart Functions
Sponsor: University of Ottawa
Summary
This project is designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT), with an active control group. Sleep and heart rate will be monitored at home for 1 week before and after the intervention. Questionnaires will be completed from home before, during and 8 weeks after the end of the Intervention. The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, adapted for post-concussed individuals (CBT-pI) and control interventions, will be delivered on a digital online platform over an 8-week period. Participants in the control arm will be offered CBT-pI after the follow-up period. All intervention arms will be delivered as adjuncts to standard clinical care. All other treatments received during the intervention will be documented.
