Sleep and Fatigue Treatment Study - Telehealth/online

Hi everyone,

 

My name is Lucy and I am the trial co-ordinator for a Sleep and Fatigue Treatment Study at the Monash Epworth Rehabilitation Research Centre. I have posted on EnableMe previously and have spoken to many wonderful individuals who have taken part in our research. We are still looking for participants, and if you have problems with sleep and fatigue this research might be suitable for you. We have a telehealth option in place, so no face-to-face contact is required to allow for social distancing and to keep everyone safe amid the COVID-19 outbreak. 

 

We are trialling 2 treatments for improving sleep and fatigue difficulties following acquired brain injury - Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Health Education Therapy. Participation involves in 8 x 1 hour treatment sessions with a Clinical Neuropsychologist, and 4 sessions with a researcher. There will also be periods throughout the study where you wear a watch that measures your sleep, and you fill out a diary tracking your sleep and fatigue symptoms. 

 

If you have had sleep and fatigue difficulties since your brain injury, you may be suitable for our study. We are seeking participants aged between 16-70 who are at least 3 months post-injury, and who have significant difficulties with sleep and fatigue. We are recruiting nationally in Australia. To be able to take part in the telehealth component, you need to have a laptop or tablet/iPad with a front facing camera and internet connection.

Thank you for your time in reading this post.
