Abstract

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is considered the gold standard treatment for chronic insomnia, but its overall effectiveness across different populations and settings remains a topic of interest. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examines the effectiveness of CBT-I in improving sleep quality. Drawing from a comprehensive review of the literature, the meta-analysis synthesizes effect sizes from RCTs assessing the efficacy of CBT-I compared to control conditions or other active treatments in improving subjective and objective measures of sleep quality, including sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency. Additionally, it explores potential moderators of treatment effectiveness, such as treatment format, duration, therapist involvement, and participant characteristics, to identify factors that may enhance the efficacy of CBT-I interventions.
