Effectiveness of Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Overview
This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of fully automated digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I) by synthesizing data from 49 randomized controlled trials involving over 20,000 participants. The study reports that dCBT-I significantly reduces insomnia severity compared to control conditions, with findings noted as more robust in populations using rigorous diagnostic criteria and those based in the United States. The resource highlights the scalability of these digital interventions while noting limitations such as methodological variability and a predominance of high-income country studies.
