Decreasing Nightmares in Adults With Narcolepsy
This study is testing a behavioral (non-medication) treatment called Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) to see if it can reduce nightmares in adults with narcolepsy. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) with narcolepsy (Type 1 or Type 2) who experiences nightmares at least once a week, lives in the United States, and can speak, read, and write in English. Your sleep and psychiatric medications must be stable. The study will measure how much your disturbing dreams and nightmares improve, and how often you have nightmares, at different points in time. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 80 participants. All participants will receive the Imagery Rehearsal Therapy, with half receiving it after the first assessment and half after the second.
- What's involved
- You would attend 7 weekly therapy sessions via videoconference and complete three assessments (at baseline, 10 weeks, and 19 weeks).
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
