Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Insomnia is a common symptom among patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, negatively impacting symptom severity, functioning and well-being; however, it is rarely the direct focus of treatment. The main recommended treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-I). There is some evidence that CBT-I can also be used to treat insomnia in patients with schizophrenia, but only a few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been published.

Insomnia symptoms must be differentiated from insomnia disorder. The correct aiagnosis or insomnia aisoraer is important, as insomnia may also be a symptom of many other diseases. Cognitive behavioral methods are recommended as first-line treatment options.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic insomnia in occupational health services: analyses of outcomes up to 24 months post-treatment.

Objective: Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is an effective treatment for persistent insomnia. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of and response patterns to CBT-I among daytime and shift workers with insomnia over a 24-month follow-up in occupational health services (OHS).

Methods: The participants were 59 media workers with chronic insomnia, of whom 69% were reached at 24-month follow-up.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for shift workers with chronic insomnia.

Objective: Shift work is a challenge in the screening and treatment of chronic insomnia. The aim of this study was to examine the implementation and effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral group intervention for insomnia (CBT-I) among shift workers with chronic insomnia. We also studied whether insomnia symptoms and intervention effects differed on work days and days off.

Cognitive behavior therapy for chronic insomnia in occupational health services.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the implementation and effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral group intervention model for chronic insomnia (CBT-I) in occupational health services (OHS). We also studied if insomnia symptoms and intervention effects differed on work days and days off.

Methods: The study design was a non-randomized group intervention, including a waiting period prior to CBT as a control condition.

A cognitive-behavioral weight reduction program in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with or without initial nasal CPAP: a randomized study.

Background And Purpose: To evaluate (a) whether an active weight reduction strategy based on the cognitive-behavioral approach and an initial very-low-calorie diet might lead to short- and long-term weight loss and alleviation of OSAS; and (b) whether the results of this intervention could be enhanced by combining it with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment during the first 6 months.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-one obese male symptomatic sleep apnea patients underwent a 2-year weight reduction program with total follow-up of 36 months from baseline. The mean age (+/-SD) was 49.
