Research Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the added value of brief behavioral Therapy for insomnia over treatment as usual (TAU) for residual depression and refractory insomnia.
Thirty-seven outpatients were randomly assigned to TAU alone or TAU plus brief behavioral therapy for insomnia.
Information about both insomnia and depression were collected at 4- and 8-week follow-ups. Brief behavioral therapy for insomnia plus TAU resulted in significantly lower scores in terms of both insomnia and depression at 8 weeks.
In patients with residual depression and treatment refractory insomnia, adding brief behavioral therapy for insomnia to usual clinical care produced statistically significant and clinically substantive added benefits.
