Description
Zhengyang Mei, Chenyi Cai, and Shulai Luo lead a team pooling trials of talk therapy for insomnia in teenagers. Their meta-analysis appeared in two thousand twenty-four. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is the front-line treatment in adults. Whether it works as well in adolescents needed a pooled answer.
Eight randomized trials with nearly six hundred young participants were combined. After treatment, the therapy clearly improved overall insomnia severity. Teenagers also fell asleep faster and slept longer and more efficiently. Months later, the insomnia benefit was still detectable. Bias checks and sensitivity tests probed the pooled numbers for fragility. The authors conclude the therapy earns its place for sleepless teens. They note the small trial base as a limit. More and larger adolescent trials would firm up dosing and delivery choices.
