This $736,503 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund a clinical trial to evaluate the effects of combining cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) and morning bright light treatment (MBLT) on chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) and opioid use in older adults undergoing total knee arthroplasty surgery. The study aims to determine if this multimodal sleep-focused intervention can reduce the incidence of CPSP and opioid...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. a $2,576,936 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to characterize the variability in sleep spindle activity across a population and evaluate the use of sleep spindle dynamics as biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and trisomy 21. The 3-year project will develop statistical models and methods to analyze sleep spindle patterns and their relationship...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), provides $698,870.00 to study the effects of thalamic stimulation on sleep oscillations in humans. The research aims to investigate how thalamic stimulation, a potential therapeutic intervention, impacts sleep spindles and other sleep-related brain activity. This 5-year project will involve two cohorts: 50...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to develop and evaluate a culturally adapted sleep intervention program for older Korean immigrants with limited English proficiency. The $433,125 award will fund a 2-year pilot study, starting on February 1, 2025, to refine an existing cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) program with input from stakeholders and Korean immigrants, and then conduct a randomized clinical trial to assess...

This $131,085 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The Leland Stanford Junior University supports research to investigate the use of afternoon phototherapy as a stepped care approach to reduce sleep-wake fragmentation and improve cognition in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. The key objectives are to: 1) apply machine learning techniques to identify factors contributing to sleep-wake fragmentation and cognitive decline, 2) conduct...

The U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $134,000 project grant under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to conduct a pilot study on a digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (DCBT-I) intervention for older adults undergoing orthopedic surgery. The goal is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of this abbreviated DCBT-I protocol in improving sleep and cognitive resilience for this high-risk patient population. The study will randomize 50 older adult participants (>65 years) to receive either the DCBT-I or sleep hygiene education plus usual care, with a planned completion date of July 2026. This research aims to address a critical gap in perioperative sleep management and develop an evidence-based intervention to promote better outcomes for older surgical patients.
