NCT04445805

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate telemedicine treatments for sleep in pregnant women. As pregnant women are vulnerable to sleep problems, the investigators aim to explore whether these types of treatment will improve sleep and mood-related health risks in pregnancy and postpartum. The investigators will test the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) and mindfulness-based therapy for insomnia (MBTI) for perinatal insomnia relative to sleep education and hygiene, which is a minimal intervention control.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effectiveness of mindfulness based therapy for insomnia for changes in insomnia symptoms - Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)

    The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a commonly used self-report measure of insomnia symptoms that has been validated for use in community samples and clinical trials. The ISI scores range from 0-28, with a higher score indicating a greater severity of insomnia. ISI scores \< 8 after treatment indicate remission.

    Will be assessed pretreatment, immediately posttreatment, and monthly across the 1st postnatal year

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Effectiveness of mindfulness based therapy for insomnia for changes in depression symptoms- Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)

    Will be assessed pretreatment, immediately posttreatment, and monthly across the 1st postnatal year

  • Effectiveness of mindfulness based therapy for insomnia for changes in cognitive arousal - Presleep Arousal Scale-Cognitive Factor

    Will be assessed pretreatment, immediately posttreatment, and monthly across the 1st postnatal year
