Summary

This study tested whether an internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy program (iCBT-I) can help people with chronic insomnia. 107 adults were randomly assigned to receive the online program or usual care. The program included educational videos, sleep tracking, and techniques like sleep restriction and relaxation. Researchers measured changes in insomnia severity and sleep quality to see if the online approach is effective and cost-effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (iCBT-I)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, low-cost treatment option for chronic insomnia that people can access from home.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial with 107 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy requires active participation and may not work for all types of insomnia.
