Abstract:
Objective To assess the effect of remote-interactive cognitive behavioral therapy in pa-tients with chronic insomnia.Methods A total of 62 patients with chronic insomnia were randomly divided into combined treatment group,cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia ( CBTI) group and drug treatment group.The study lasted for 6-8 weeks.The curative effects were assessed using sleep diary and scales.Results The sleep onset latency (SOL) ((39.9±23.7)min) and wake time after sleep onset(WASO) ((79.1± 39.4) min) in the drug treatment group were higher than that in the combined treatment group ( ( 25.5 ± 11.2)min and (54.4±38.5)min,respectively) and CBTI group ((27.8±11.6)min and (51.8±29.0)min,re-spectively) at the end of treatment,the difference was statistical significance( P=0.018 and P=0.046 respec-tively).The sleep efficiency(SE) in drug treatment ((76.5±11.9)%) was lower than that in the other two groups((83.8±8.7)%and (82.8±7.0)%respectively),(P=0.042).And no similar difference were seen in TST after treatment(P>0.05).The Brief Version of Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep(DBAS-16) score in the drug treatment group (97.6±16.4) was higher than the other two groups((67.5±20.1) and ( 75.0±26.9) respectively) after treatment(P=0.000) .No significant difference was seen in scores of the oth-er scales among the three groups(P>0.05) .After treatment,a greater proportion of patients in the combined treatment group had withdrawn from hypnotics use completely (29%(6/20) vs 5%(1/18);odds ratio( OR ) was 7.286);and the combined treatment group produced significant reduction in frequency of hypnotics use ((3.35±3.05) nights/week) when compared with drug treatment group((5.56±2.33) nights/week, P=0.016) .Conclusions Remote-interactive cognitive behavioral therapy was effective and acceptable for treating pa-tients with chronic insomnia,combining drug treatment in the early period could quickly relieve the symptoms of in-somnia,and can avoid the adverse effect from the hypnotics.And the treatment method can reduce the dropout rate.
