Summary

This trial is studying two mindfulness interventions to help improve sleep quality and anxiety in lung cancer patients. 20 patients with insomnia will be enrolled and will use a behavioral intervention.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for lung cancer patients over 18 who are experiencing insomnia, whether in remission or undergoing certain chemotherapies. Participants need internet at home, access to a smartphone, and must be more than 4 weeks post-surgery and fluent in English.
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of simplified mindfulness techniques designed to help improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety related to sleep issues in lung cancer patients. It's a randomized study lasting for 30 days with participants using behavioral interventions.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve assisted relaxation therapy and modified versions of it, side effects may include discomfort with the process or frustration if immediate improvements in sleep aren't experienced.
