[The efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy in insomnic patients with or without comorbidities: a pilot study].
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) in chronic insomnia patients in terms of the improvements of psychological and sleep diary parameters. Methods: Patients who met the diagnostic criteria of chronic insomnia, were divided into primary group or comorbid group. Both groups received standard CBT-i interventions. Psychological scales and sleep diaries were used to evaluate participants' severity of insomnia and psychological conditions related to insomnia at four time points: before intervention (baseline), immediate after intervention, 4 weeks and 16 weeks after intervention. Results: Both groups achieved significant improvements after intervention on psychological measurements and sleep diary parameters. Such improvements were maintained at 4-week and 16-week follow-ups. The sleep diary data indicated that by the end of the intervention, there were significant differences on sleep onset latency (51.72 min to 10.53 min in primary group, P< 0.01; 59.26 min to 15.67min in comorbid group, P< 0.01) and sleep efficiency (71% to 95% in primary group, P< 0.01; 68% to 90% in comorbid group, P< 0.01). There were differences on sleep onset latency (10.00 min vs. 13.93 min, P< 0.05), total sleep time (355.71 min vs. 327.85 min, P< 0.05) and sleep efficiency (95% vs. 91%, P< 0.01) in primary group and comorbid group respectively. No differences were found on wake after sleep onset in the two groups. Conclusions: Chronic insomnia patients with or without comorbidities both have improvements after CBT-i. Sleep diary parameters rather than psychological measurements are different in two groups. Thus, CBT-i is an effective non-pharmaceutical therapy inpatients with chronic insomnia.
