The DreamChanger Intervention in Combination With Imagery Rehearsal Therapy for Children's Nightmares

Nightmare frequency and severity

This clinical trial will test the efficacy of parent-delivered DreamChanger Intervention in
 combination with Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) for reducing the frequency and severity of
 nightmares in children aged 3-10. Children will be randoimized to either the combined
 intervention or to a waitlist control group.The intervention will include providing children
 with the DreamChanger remote, and providing parents with instructional videos, explaining how
 to use the device along with the IRT strategy to address nightmares.
 
 At baseline, mid-treatment, and post-treatment, parents in both groups will complete
 questionnaires asking about the child's nightmares, sleep, externalizing and internalizing
 symptoms, PTSD symptoms, demographic characteristics, and parent sleep and distress. Parents
 in the intervention group will also be asked to complete questionnaires regarding their
 compliance and satisfaction with the intervention, as well as a 3-month follow-up assessment.
