Summary

This trial compares a novel behavioral treatment called ABC-I (Acceptance and the Behavioral Changes to treat Insomnia) with standard cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in veterans who have both PTSD and insomnia. ABC-I combines sleep-focused behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment therapy to improve adherence. Researchers will measure changes in PTSD symptoms, insomnia severity, and sleep quality over six months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Acceptance and the Behavioral Changes to treat Insomnia (ABC-I) therapy
What this could lead to
If ABC-I works better than standard therapy, it could offer veterans with PTSD a more effective, adherence-friendly option for treating both insomnia and PTSD symptoms.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage comparison with 200 participants, so results may not generalize. The therapy is behavioral and requires active participation, which may not suit everyone.
