A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This feasibility study aims to evaluate an adaptive stepped-care intervention designed to improve sleep quality among Chinese cancer survivors experiencing mild-to-moderate insomnia. The approach involves comparing a low-intensity web-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (iDream2Heal) with a web-based exercise intervention (Easy Exercise). Additionally, for those who continue to experience sleep disturbances, a more intensive face-to-face therapist-led intervention will be tested against a combined web-based approach. The study employs a sequential multiple assessment randomized controlled trial (SMART) design to assess feasibility, acceptability, and potential clinical significance.
