Treating insomnia to improve weight loss after breast cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Mental health, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether improving insomnia (trouble falling asleep or staying asleep) can help survivors of breast cancer lose weight more successfully through a structured behavioral weight loss program. It may help if sleep problems are making it harder to change eating and activity habits.
