Hypnosis for Sleep Quality for Individuals With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Mild Cognitive Impairment, Poor Quality Sleep

In brief

With the long-range goal to identify an efficacious and practical intervention to improve sleep for individuals with MCI, this pilot study will enroll 20 individuals with MCI into either a self-administered hypnosis for sleep program or a sham white noise hypnosis program. Participants will practice hypnosis delivered via audio recording once per day in their own home for 7 weeks. Upon completion of the study, insight will be gained regarding accrual, retention, and feasibility of the intervention and measures. Data from this pilot study is essential to inform and plan a future R01 proposal to determine the efficacy of the self-administered hypnosis intervention to improve sleep quality and duration, as well as other benefits, with individuals with mild cognitive impairment.
