The primary objective of this pilot trial is to evaluate the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) on changes in circulating levels of hsCRP at 24 weeks in virologically-suppressed, HIV-positive adults with insomnia, defined as having an Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score ≥ 11. Secondary objectives include comparing changes in hsCRP at 12 weeks, changes in other circulating inflammation biomarkers (IL-6, sCD14, sCD163, CD14+CD16+ monocytes) at both 12 and 24 weeks, and ISI scores and other self-reported patient outcomes at both 12 and 24 weeks.
This randomized trial will determine the effects of internet cognitive behavioral therapy on measures of systemic inflammation in HIV-positive people receiving antiretroviral therapy.
