Talking your way to better sleep after a concussion: new study tests CBT-I
NCT ID NCT07385105
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) can improve sleep and daily function in 15 people with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) who have trouble sleeping. Participants will learn techniques like sleep scheduling and changing unhelpful thoughts about sleep. The goal is to see if better sleep helps reduce mTBI symptoms and makes it easier to engage in everyday activities.

- cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to improve sleep and daily functioning in people with mild traumatic brain injury.
