Telehealth delivery of adapted CBT-I for insomnia in chronic pain patients: a single arm feasibility study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: A large proportion of individuals with chronic pain experience insomnia-related symptoms which can be persistent in nature, and negatively impact one's quality of life. This single arm trial aimed to investigate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of CBT-I, adapted for people with chronic musculoskeletal pain, delivered via telehealth. Methods: We conducted a single arm feasibility trial in which 10 adult women (M age = 50.76 years, SD = 8.03 years) with self-reported insomnia and a diagnosed chronic musculoskeletal chronic pain received six CBT-I individual treatment sessions over 6-10 weeks. Treatment was delivered via telehealth. Participants completed weekly sleep diaries, and self-reported measures of insomnia, pain, anxiety and depression pre-treatment, post-treatment, and one-month follow-up. Results: The trial yielded, high levels of compliance with intervention protocols, and affirmative feedback on satisfaction which demonstrated feasibility. The enrolment rate into the study was 37% (27 participants screened, 10 participants enrolled). The intervention was associated with statistically and clinically meaningful improvements in self-reported insomnia severity. There were statistically significant improvements in sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset, sleep onset latency, anxiety and depression. Conclusion: Adapted CBT-I delivered via telehealth may be a feasible, acceptable, and efficacious therapeutic approach for individuals with co-existent sleep and chronic pain. Future trials should adopt a randomized design against usual care.
