Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two cognitive behavioral group psychotherapy interventions in controlling the subjective sleep disturbance in veterans with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Detailed Description:
Repetitive stereotypical nightmares and insomnia commonly characterize post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD Identifying the pathophysiological mechanisms of disrupted sleep in PTSD has therefore assumed considerable clinical importance We previously reported an increase in rapid eye movement activity REM activity during REM sleep REMS in Vietnam War combat veterans with PTSD and this finding can be seen as consistent with the view that most although not all dreaming occurs during REMS and the repeated observation that REM activity correlates with the intensity of dream mentation There is a growing body of evidence that post-traumatic nightmares can respond to psychological treatment interventions Namely a cognitive-behavioral technique entitled imagery rehearsal IR has been reported to be effective in the treatment of such nightmares in victims of crime and in women who have been sexually assaulted In a small pilot study it has also been reported to be effective in the treatment of Vietnam veterans with combat-related PTSD The two objectives of this proposal are 1 To compare in a study with random assignment and a parallel group design the effectiveness in controlling the subjective sleep disturbance in veterans with PTSD of IR and Sleep and Nightmare Management SN a psychological treatment that targets life stressors and problems with sleep hygiene that may exacerbate insomnia and nightmares 2 In a subset of these subjects to compare the effectiveness in reducing REM activity of IR and SN
