NCT ID NCT05870228
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a sleep therapy program for teenagers aged 12-15 who have both insomnia and mental health issues. The program used cognitive behavioral therapy to improve sleep. Only 3 teens enrolled, and the study was stopped early, so we cannot draw firm conclusions about its effectiveness.
