Summary
This trial will compare two treatments for insomnia in Veterans with PTSD to see if they improve psychosocial functioning and reduce suicidal ideation.
Who is the study for?
Veterans aged 18-75 with PTSD and insomnia can join this study. They must have stable medication for at least a month and not plan changes during the trial. Those in psychotherapy should be steady in their treatment, but cannot start new therapies targeting insomnia or PTSD until after the trial.
What is being tested?
The study compares Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBTI) to Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training (PMRT) in improving sleep and psychosocial functioning among veterans with PTSD. It also looks at long-term benefits and effects on suicidal thoughts.
What are the potential side effects?
Since BBTI and PMRT are non-pharmacological treatments focusing on behavior modification and relaxation techniques, they typically do not have side effects like medications do; however, individual experiences may vary.
