Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an accessible, non-drug treatment to improve sleep and reduce pain for people with chronic pain and insomnia.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (140 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply to everyone. The digital format may not work as well as in-person therapy for some people.
