Acupuncture Versus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in Cancer Survivors: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Overview
This randomized clinical trial compares the efficacy of acupuncture and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in managing insomnia among cancer survivors over an eight-week period with follow-up to 20 weeks. The study reports that while both interventions resulted in clinically meaningful reductions in insomnia severity, CBT-I demonstrated superior effectiveness overall, particularly for male, white, highly educated participants, and those without baseline pain. Acupuncture showed greater efficacy specifically for pain reduction at the end of treatment, whereas outcomes for fatigue, mood, and quality of life were similar between groups.
