Treating Acute Insomnia: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a “Single-Shot” of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
Overview
This randomized controlled trial investigates the efficacy of a single 60- to 70-minute session of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) combined with a self-help pamphlet for adults with acute insomnia. The study compares outcomes between an intervention group and a wait-list control group, measuring changes in insomnia severity and sleep continuity over one month. Results indicate that participants receiving the single CBT-I session reported significantly lower insomnia severity scores and higher remission rates compared to controls. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in brief, early-intervention strategies for acute insomnia within stepped-care models.
