Improving sleep management for adults recovering from brain hemorrhage
Official title: Technology-based Sleep Self-Management Intervention for Adults with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Funded at University of Washington · NIH-11192959 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is designed to help adults who have had a subarachnoid hemorrhage improve their sleep with a special program created just for them, using input from both survivors and their caregivers to make it as helpful as possible.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who have experienced a subarachnoid hemorrhage and are struggling with sleep disturbances.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who have not experienced a subarachnoid hemorrhage or those without sleep disturbances may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on helping adults who have experienced a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) manage their sleep disturbances through a technology-based intervention. The study will involve input from SAH survivors and their caregivers to create a tailored program that enhances self-management skills and patient engagement. By using a mixed methods approach, the researchers aim to develop a structured support system that addresses the unique sleep challenges faced by these individuals. The intervention will be based on previous successful strategies used in other chronic illness populations, adapted specifically for SAH survivors.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve sleep quality and overall quality of life for patients recovering from subarachnoid hemorrhage.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown success with similar self-management interventions in other chronic illness populations, indicating potential for effectiveness in this context.
