Article Abstract
Objectives: The current literature lacks a clear evaluation of the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) on acute insomnia. Our study aims to address this issue through a systematic review and meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs).
Method: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library in April 2024 for RCTs comparing patients with clinically significant insomnia symptoms for less than 6 months (ie, acute insomnia) assigned to 1-6 weeks of CBT-I versus no CBT-I.
Results: We included four RCTs comprising 327 patients with acute insomnia, of whom 162 (49.5 %) were randomized to CBT-I. CBT-I significantly reduced the Insomnia Severity Index score (MD -5.28; 95 % CI -6.01, -4.56; p < 0.00001; I = 18 %), the incidence of chronic insomnia (MD 0.50; 95 % CI 0.35, 0.70; p < 0.0001; I = 0 %), and the sleep latency (MD -11.04; 95 % CI -18.46, -3.61; p = 0.004; I = 0 %).
Conclusion: These findings provide preliminary evidence that minimal CBT-I may be a feasible and effective preventive measure against chronic insomnia. However, future RCTs and effectiveness trials are necessary to validate, with greater statistical power, the hypothesis that CBT-I can prevent transition from acute to chronic insomnia, given the limited number of studies in our meta-analysis.

Targeting sleep quality in acutely traumatized individuals to reduce the risk for PTSD: study protocol for a multicentre randomized clinical trial.
Eur J Psychotraumatol

There is a great need for feasible interventions in the initial period after a trauma that minimize the risk of developing a clinically relevant PTSD. The majority of people suffer from severe sleep disorders after a traumatic event. Because sleep is essential for processing emotional memories, we aim to improve sleep quality in acutely traumatized patients to benefit adaptive trauma processing and thereby prevent PTSD development.

- - Long COVID is significantly impacting public health, with increasing anxiety and depression symptoms observed in young people, particularly Chinese college students, since the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in December 2022.
- - A study surveyed 958 students, finding that around 80% experienced COVID-19, with a notable percentage reporting somatic symptoms, insomnia, fatigue, and mental health issues two to three months post-infection.
- - The research indicated that the effects of COVID-19 on anxiety and depression are more influenced by long COVID rather than the initial severity of the illness, suggesting that addressing long COVID could help alleviate mental health issues among affected students.
Insomnia Symptoms are Associated with Return to use and Non-fatal Overdose following Opioid Use Disorder Treatment.
Sleep
December 2024
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Study Objectives: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic, relapse-prone condition, often accompanied by sleep disturbances such as insomnia. While sleep disturbances have been implicated in negative treatment outcomes, no large-scale studies have examined the relationship between insomnia disorder and outcomes for persons completing an acute OUD treatment episode. This study assessed the association between insomnia symptoms at treatment intake, during treatment, and following acute treatment with post-treatment episode return to use, and non-fatal overdose outcomes.

Context: Patients recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection continue to have some persistent symptoms or develop new symptoms, resulting in impairment of everyday activities beyond the initial acute period. The current study was undertaken to understand the long term health implications of covid 19 and to analyse the correlation of post covid symptoms with the severity of infection and inflammatory markers at the time of hospitalisation.
Aims: (1) To estimate the prevalence of post covid symptoms at the end of 1 month,3 months and 12 months after discharge, (2) To correlate post covid symptoms with the severity of infection and inflammatory markers at the time of hospitalisation.

To examine the long-term impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on sleep patterns and prevalence of sleep disorders and to increase public health awareness of long COVID. MATERIAL AND Using the centralized Massachusetts General Brigham Research Patient Data Registry (RPDR), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-positive patients were surveyed about their sleep patterns before and after the viral infection. Information related to co-morbid conditions and medications was obtained through chart review.
