CBT-I for mTBI

In this study, we are conducting a randomized control trial to determine if Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) improves sleep in adolescents with protracted recovery following a concussion/mTBI.

This treatment study is specifically focused on using cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to treat sleep disruption following brain injury. Despite mounting evidence that CBT-I is effective for treating sleep problems, it has yet to be evaluated as a treatment option with concussion/mTBI populations. Thus, our study is the first if it's kind to evaluate CBT-I in youth with sleep disruption secondary to a concussion injury. We anticipate that CBT-I will also provide secondary improvements in psychological functioning (i.e. reduction in anxiety and depression).
