Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program for Insomnia (CBT-I) in individuals with chronic insomnia. Participants will be randomly assigned to either begin digital CBT-I immediately or join a wait-list.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This multi-site, randomized, wait-list controlled trial investigates the effectiveness and safety of a digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) program in treating chronic insomnia. Participants will be randomly assigned to start the digital CBT-I immediately or after a wait period. The digital CBT-I program, includes modules on sleep education, cognitive restructuring, stimulus control, sleep restriction, and relaxation techniques. Primary and secondary outcomes will measure insomnia severity, beliefs about sleep, daytime sleepiness, mood, quality of life, productivity, and sleep efficiency. Findings aim to assess the effectiveness of digital CBT-I in improving sleep and daily functioning among chronic insomnia patients in South Korea.
