Description
Horacio Balam Alvarez Garcia and colleagues run a pilot trial of brief behavioral therapy for insomnia in people who had recovered from COVID-19 infection. Sleep loss, anxiety, and low mood all rose during the pandemic, and short drug-free therapy is a proven lever for sleep. The randomized trial compared treatment forms head to head, with no passive wait-list group.
Measures were taken before treatment, right after it, and again three months later. Sleep quality, anxiety, depression, and life quality were the tracked outcomes. Remote delivery held a special draw in the setting, since it cuts travel and reaches far towns at lower cost. Pilot results like these tell larger trials whether the brief format deserves a full test after illness.
