METHODS:
ABI, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, depression
In the randomized-controlled study, 54 adults with ABI and self-reported sleep disturbances receiving outpatient rehabilitation services were randomized in two groups: one receiving a sleep intervention (based on cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)) in addition to their rehabilitation treatment (CBT-I + TAU group) and one receiving treatment as usual (TAU). The primary outcome was sleep quality, measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Secondary outcomes included measures of anxiety, depression, fatigue and dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep.
