A Patient-Focused Approach to Insomnia Treatment for Women Veterans
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Acceptance and the Behavioral Changes to Treat Insomnia and Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia for Insomnia. Completed, enrolled 347 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Women Veterans have high rates of insomnia. Prior research and our preliminary findings show that insomnia impacts the health and quality of life of women Veterans and that those with insomnia prefer non-medication treatments over sleeping pills. This study compared two non-medication behavioral treatments for insomnia to determine impacts on adherence rates and sleep/wake patterns. A novel treatment, Acceptance and the Behavioral Changes to Treat Insomnia (ABC-I) was compared to standard treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). The results showed that ABC-I was non-inferior to CBT-I and adherence to the treatments was similar in both groups. These results improve the repertoire of available behavioral treatments for insomnia within VA by showing that a new treatment, called ABC-I, works as well as standard CBT-I.
