Treating Insomnia in Mild Cognitive Impairment

Project Summary

Many people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) experience symptoms of insomnia, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, which can speed cognitive decline and worsen quality of life. We propose to test a novel intervention to improve sleep and cognition in persons with MCI that combines noninvasive neuromodulation with transcranial magnetic stimulation with an Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia program. If successful, this approach will meet the need for an efficacious, non-pharmacologic, and accessible therapy for persons with MCI and insomnia.
