Efficacy of online and face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy in the treatment of neurological insomnia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The treatment of insomnia mainly includes drug therapy and non-drug therapy (cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT]).

With the continuous development of network technology, internet-based CBT (ICBT) has been widely used due to the advantages of time and location.
