•Clinicians may simply rely on evidence obtained in non-TBI populations to choose their treatments.

•Need to adapt treatments to the particular needs of TBI survivors.

•Clinicians have built their own expertise- this knowledge needs to be shared.

Pharmacological options

Rapid symptomatic reliefRecommended as a short-term optionGains not maintained after treatment discontinuationPotential side effects: drowsiness, dizziness, cognitive impairment, reduction of psychomotor speedRisk for abuse, tolerance and dependence

Effects on memory, attention and vigilance may be particularly detrimentalSome medications may lower seizure thresholdRisk for abuse, tolerance and dependenceNeed for data on efficacy, safety and adherence

Cognitions in post-TBI insomnia

I need to catch up on sleep lossI am loosing control over my ability to sleepIf I feel tired, I have no energy and am not functionning well, it’s due to poor sleepI should avoid or cancel obligations after a poornight’s sleep

If I don’t sleep well, my brain will not recoverMy caregivers tell me to rest, but can’t do it If I cannot sleep well, I will never be able to return to work

Page 36: STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND …braininjurycanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/... · Centre Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Réadaptation et Intégration Sociale,

Stimulus Control

• Reassociate temporal (bedtime) and environmental (bed and bedroom) stimuli with rapid sleep onset.

• Establish a regular circadian sleep/wake rhythm.

Keep at least an hour before going to bed to relaxDevelop a ritual to do before going to bedGo to bed only when sleepyWhen unable to fall asleep or go back to sleep within15 to 20 min, leave the bed and bedroom, return to bed only when sleepyMaintain a regular arising time in the morningUse the bed/bedroom for sleep and sex only Do not watch TV, listen to the radio, eat, or read in the bed)Avoid taking naps during the day

Goals: Procedures:

Page 37: STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND …braininjurycanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/... · Centre Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Réadaptation et Intégration Sociale,

Naps

•Sleep latency is inversely correlated with length of previous waking period.

•Early naps contain more REM sleep and less slow-wave sleep.

•Late naps contain more slow-wave sleep.

Page 38: STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND …braininjurycanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/... · Centre Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Réadaptation et Intégration Sociale,

Sleep Restriction

Curtail time in bed to the actual sleep time, thereby creating mild sleep deprivationConsolidate sleep on a shorter period to increase its efficiency

Self-monitor sleep Restrict the amount of time spent in bed to the actual amount of time spent asleepTime in bed is adjusted according to sleep efficiency: increased of decreased by 15 minutes

Conclusions

Psychological and behavioral factors are important in post-TBI insomnia.

CBT seems as effective in the TBI population than in people with primary insomnia.

Results seem to be durable up to 3 months.

CBT reduces fatigue but more research on fatigue is needed.

Cognitive limitations or behavioral problems did not constitute a barrier for implementation of CBT.

Best approach for insomnia ?

A combined approach (CBT+Medication) achieves better long-term outcome if medication is discontinued after the initial 6 weeks.

Does this apply to TBI ?Morin et al., JAMA 2009

The vicious cycle of fatigueBehaviours :

Avoid certain activitiesStop completely certain activitiesCancel social occasionsSeek rest (naps, increased time in bed)

Inactivity

Consequences :

Loss of sources of gratificationSocial isolationLoss of source of pleasureLoss of alternative ways to restFrustration, depressionPhysical deconditioningDissatisfaction in relationshipsDecrease of motivationSleep disturbances

Fatigue ManagementBehaviours :

Gradually resume avoided activities Find alternative activitiesResume social interactionsRe-arrange activitiesRegularize sleep/wake cycleRevise definition of rest

Increased Activity

Consequences :

Increased pleasureIncreased gratificationBetter sleepIncreased perceived controlIncreased self-confidence Better physical conditionIncreased psychological Opportunities for self-actualization

Better management of energy levels

The scientific literature provides few answers for effective management of post-TBI fatigue

Clinicians have built their own expertise relative to fatigue management following TBI

This multidisciplinary expertise should be collected and translated into tools that can be shared and further evaluated in clinical trials

A survey of the existing clinical expertise ?

Page 70: STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND …braininjurycanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/... · Centre Interdisciplinaire de Recherche en Réadaptation et Intégration Sociale,

1. Review the available literature on fatigue and TBI2. Document the existing expertise developed in our TBI unit3. Present and validate the results of the survey4. Triangulate with literature5. Identify targets for interventions6. Translate this data into a tangible clinical tool for assessment

and intervention7. Evaluate the tool directly in the clinical setting 8. Improve manual with feedback from clinicians and clients9. Evaluate tool in systematic research10. Disseminate and use for training

Survey

1) What are the main manifestations or signs of fatigue in your clients ?

2) Do you need to change or adapt your interventions to account for fatigue in your clients ? If yes, how so ?

3) Do you use specific tools to evaluate fatigue (questionnaires, scales)? If yes, which ones ?

4) Do you give specific recommendations or advice to your clients about fatigue? If yes, which ones ?

5)What are the barriers and facilitators to effective post-TBI fatigue management ?
