Sauna blankets and online therapy: a new way to beat insomnia?
NCT ID NCT06626048
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This small study tested whether combining digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) with sessions in a sauna blanket is feasible for adults with insomnia. Ten participants used an online CBT-I program and a sauna blanket at home for 9 weeks. The goal was to see if people would stick with the treatment, not to measure how well it works.
What this could mean
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) and passive body heating via a sauna blanket
What this could lead to
If this approach is feasible, it could point toward a combined mind-and-body treatment option for insomnia that people can do at home.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility trial with only 10 participants and no control group. It cannot prove the treatment works, only that it might be possible to study it further.
