Abstract
Objectives
The current literature lacks a clear evaluation of the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) on acute insomnia. Our study aims to address this issue through a systematic review and meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs).
Method
We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library in April 2024 for RCTs comparing patients with clinically significant insomnia symptoms for less than 6 months (ie, acute insomnia) assigned to 1–6 weeks of CBT-I versus no CBT-I.
Results
We included four RCTs comprising 327 patients with acute insomnia, of whom 162 (49.5 %) were randomized to CBT-I. CBT-I significantly reduced the Insomnia Severity Index score (MD –5.28; 95 % CI −6.01, −4.56; p < 0.00001; I2 = 18 %), the incidence of chronic insomnia (MD 0.50; 95 % CI 0.35, 0.70; p < 0.0001; I2 = 0 %), and the sleep latency (MD -11.04; 95 % CI –18.46, −3.61; p = 0.004; I2 = 0 %).
Conclusion
These findings provide preliminary evidence that minimal CBT-I may be a feasible and effective preventive measure against chronic insomnia. However, future RCTs and effectiveness trials are necessary to validate, with greater statistical power, the hypothesis that CBT-I can prevent transition from acute to chronic insomnia, given the limited number of studies in our meta-analysis.
期刊介绍:
Sleep Medicine aims to be a journal no one involved in clinical sleep medicine can do without.
A journal primarily focussing on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry.
The journal publishes the following types of articles: Reviews (also intended as a way to bridge the gap between basic sleep research and clinical relevance); Original Research Articles; Full-length articles; Brief communications; Controversies; Case reports; Letters to the Editor; Journal search and commentaries; Book reviews; Meeting announcements; Listing of relevant organisations plus web sites.
