Evaluation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in Individuals With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is an evidence-based intervention that has demonstrated significant results in various populations. CBT-I is a structured and goal-oriented approach that addresses both unhelpful thoughts and maladaptive behaviors contributing to poor sleep. CBT-I includes several components, such as behavioral strategies that aim to change habits disrupting sleep architecture and cognitive techniques targeting maladaptive beliefs about sleep. However, limited research has examined the use of this intervention among individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), particularly regarding its impact on their ability to perform daily life activities. This study aims to evaluate how CBT-I can impact sleep, mTBI symptoms, and participants' functional performance.
