New research published in The British Journal of General Practice reveals that CBT is an effective way to tackle chronic insomnia.
The study, co-authored by Dr Judith Davidson of Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, included four randomised control trails of between 66 and 201 participants varying in age.
Results from the trials showed that participants of the study fell asleep approximately nine to 30 minutes sooner after completing a course of CBT for insomnia. These candidates also experienced a reduction of broken sleep, between 22 and 36 minutes, in the amount of time spent awake, after going to sleep.
In contrast, the control group were instead put on a waiting list or given standard treatment (treatment as usual) for insomnia. These participants only experienced up to four minutes improvement in the time it took them to fall asleep and a maximum of eight minutes’ improvement in time spent awake after going to sleep.
Davidson’s research found that at least four to eight sessions of CBT were needed for participants to experience this improvement as there was little to no benefit experienced by those who were only offered two CBT sessions.
Efficacy was delighted by these findings as it supports their core message that CBT is an evidence-based solution that offers sustainable results for common issues.
Interestingly, the study also highlighted that although CBT is effective for chronic insomnia, the treatment is not being offered enough as doctors have limited knowledge, and patients are often not aware of where they can access the treatment.
