Clinical significance and predictors of treatment response to cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia secondary to chronic pain

Currie, Shawn R., Wilson, Keith G., Curran, Dorothyann·2002·Journal of Behavioral Medicine

Abstract

We examined individual responses to cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia in 51 persons with chronic pain to determine the rate of clinically significant change and to identify predictors of successful treatment response. Outcome measures consisted of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and diary measures of sleep latency and sleep continuity. Using reliable change indices, 57% of participants were statistically improved on the PSQI after 7 weeks of treatment, but only 18% were considered fully recovered from their sleep problems. No demographic variables predicted treatment response but persons who reliably improved on the PSQI had a lower sleep self-efficacy at baseline. Improvers showed a significant increase in sleep self-efficacy ratings and a decrease in self-reported levels of distress and pain-related disability. These results suggest that patients with insomnia secondary to chronic medical conditions can be helped with cognitive-behavior therapy, although most individuals continue to have mild or subthreshold sleep problems at posttreatment.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The effect sizes for improvements in sleep duration and subjective sleep quality in this study were similar to or greater than those reported for cognitive behavioral intervention and other physical activity studies.

    “The effect size for the improvements in sleep duration and subjective sleep quality in this study were similar or even greater than that reported for cognitive behavioral intervention and other physical activity studies [18, 30, 36-38].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
