Abstract

Introduction: Chronic insomnia affects 10-20% of adults and poses a great personal and social burden. Cognitive therapy can reduce it. Objective: To compare the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia administered by telephone. Methods: A parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted. Thirty participants with chronic insomnia were randomized. Results: post-treatment sleep efficiency improved by 18.7 ± 8.2 % in the TCCI / T group and by 14.5 ± 10.2 % in the CFI group. Conclusions: The findings support the efficacy of telephone-based CBCT in improving sleep and wakefulness function in people with chronic primary insomnia.
