What this trial studies

In a randomized pilot at two addiction care centres in Paris, adults seeking help to quit tobacco or cannabis will be assigned to usual multidisciplinary care or to the same care plus systematic sleep disorder screening. Patients in the intervention arm who screen positive will be referred to the Chronos centre for targeted sleep management. The trial will follow participants over six months with scheduled clinic visits to track sleep symptoms and substance abstinence. The primary aim is to see if identifying and managing sleep disorders reduces relapse during cessation treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults (18+) seeking tobacco or cannabis cessation at the participating Paris addiction centres who are covered by French health insurance and willing to accept additional sleep screening and referral are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: People already receiving treatment for sleep disorders, hospitalized during cessation, diagnosed with psychotic disorders, participating in another study, or who decline the additional intervention are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lower relapse rates and improve sleep quality for people trying to quit tobacco or cannabis.

How similar studies have performed: Previous research has linked sleep problems to relapse and some sleep-focused interventions have shown promise, but systematic targeted management during cessation remains relatively untested.
