Treatment of sleep disturbances in trauma-affected refugees: Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

DiscussionThis trial will be the first randomised controlled trial to examine sleep-enhancing treatment in trauma-affected refugees, as well as the first trial to investigate the effect of IRT and mianserin in this population. Therefore, this trial may optimise treatment recommendations for sleep disturbances in trauma-affected refugees. Based on our findings, we expect to discuss the effect of treatment, focussing on sleep disturbances. Furthermore, the results will provide new information regarding the association between sleep disturbances, PTSD symptoms, psychosocial functioning and quality of life in trauma-affected refugees.Trial registrationEudraCT registration under the name ‘Treatment of sleep disturbances in trauma-affected refugees – a randomised controlled trial’, registration number:2015-004153-40, registered on 13 November 2015.ClinicalTrials.gov, ID: NCT02761161.
