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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to improve sleep and mental health in teens without medication.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early with very few participants enrolled, so results are limited and may not apply to others.
