Abstract
Objective: Treatments that alleviate insomnia over the long term are critical. We evaluated the relative long-term efficacy of cognitive therapy (CT), behavior therapy (BT), and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for insomnia.
Method: Patients (N = 188, 62.2% female, 81.1% White, 6.5% Hispanic or Latinx, Mage = 47.4 years) with insomnia were randomized to eight sessions of CT, BT, or CBT for insomnia. Assessments at pretreatment and 12-month follow-up measured insomnia severity, insomnia response/remission, sleep diary parameters, and daytime functioning.
Results: Patients in all three treatment groups improved on insomnia severity, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, total sleep time, sleep efficiency, work and social adjustment, and mental health (ps < .05). Moreover, in each treatment group, a substantial proportion of patients achieved remission and response. CBT was associated with larger improvements in insomnia severity relative to CT as well as greater remission and improvements in physical health, relative to CT and BT (ps < .05). For patients with a psychiatric comorbidity, CBT was associated with greater improvements in work and social adjustment and mental health, relative to CT (ps < 0.05). CT was not associated with change in time in bed, and none of the treatment conditions were associated with change in daytime fatigue (ps > .05).
Conclusions: These encouraging results suggest that therapists may be able to offer CBT, BT, or CT to improve nighttime and daytime symptoms of insomnia over the long-term, with CBT offering a relative advantage for select outcomes and subgroups.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology® (JCCP) publishes original contributions on the following topics: the development, validity, and use of techniques of diagnosis and treatment of disordered behaviorstudies of a variety of populations that have clinical interest, including but not limited to medical patients, ethnic minorities, persons with serious mental illness, and community samplesstudies that have a cross-cultural or demographic focus and are of interest for treating behavior disordersstudies of personality and of its assessment and development where these have a clear bearing on problems of clinical dysfunction and treatmentstudies of gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation that have a clear bearing on diagnosis, assessment, and treatmentstudies of psychosocial aspects of health behaviors. Studies that focus on populations that fall anywhere within the lifespan are considered. JCCP welcomes submissions on treatment and prevention in all areas of clinical and clinical–health psychology and especially on topics that appeal to a broad clinical–scientist and practitioner audience. JCCP encourages the submission of theory–based interventions, studies that investigate mechanisms of change, and studies of the effectiveness of treatments in real-world settings. JCCP recommends that authors of clinical trials pre-register their studies with an appropriate clinical trial registry (e.g., ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinicalTrialsRegister.eu) though both registered and unregistered trials will continue to be considered at this time.
