Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Insomnia impacts the course of major depressive disorder (MDD), hinders response to treatment, and increases risk for depressive relapse. This study is an initial evaluation of adding cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) to the antidepressant medication escitalopram (EsCIT) in individuals with both disorders. DESIGN AND SETTING: A randomized, controlled, pilot study in a single academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS: 30 individuals (61% female, mean age 35 +/- 18) with MDD and insomnia. INTERVENTIONS: EsCIT and 7 individual therapy sessions of CBTI or CTRL (quasi-desensitization). MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Depression was assessed with the HRSD17 and the depression portion of the SCID, administered by raters masked to treatment assignment, at baseline and after 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks of treatment. The primary outcome was remission of MDD at study exit, which required both an HRSD17 score < or =7 and absence of the 2 core symptoms of MDD. Sleep was assessed with the insomnia severity index (ISI), daily sleep diaries, and actigraphy. EsCIT + CBTI resulted in a higher rate of remission of depression (61.5%) than EsCIT + CTRL (33.3%). EsCIT + CBTI was also associated with a greater remission from insomnia (50.0%) than EsCIT + CTRL (7.7%) and larger improvement in all diary and actigraphy measures of sleep, except for total sleep time. CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study provides evidence that augmenting an antidepressant medication with a brief, symptom focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia is promising for individuals with MDD and comorbid insomnia in terms of alleviating both depression and insomnia.

TL;DR

In a randomized pilot of 30 adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) and insomnia, adding cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) to escitalopram produced higher depression remission (61.5%) than escitalopram plus control therapy (33.3%). The authors conclude that augmenting an antidepressant with brief CBTI is promising for both depression and insomnia, but requires replication.

Key findings

  • Depression remission at study exit—defined as HRSD-17 score ≤ 7 plus absence of the two core MDD symptoms—was 61.5% for EsCIT + CBTI versus 33.3% for EsCIT + CTRL; the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.13 for a one-tailed Fisher exact test).
  • Insomnia remission (ISI score ≤ 7) was 50.0% with EsCIT + CBTI versus 7.7% with EsCIT + CTRL (χ² = 5.7, P = 0.05). In the whole sample, 83% of those whose insomnia remitted also remitted from depression, versus 39% of those whose insomnia did not remit (χ² = 3.6, P = 0.08).
  • EsCIT + CBTI showed larger improvement in all diary and actigraphy sleep measures except total sleep time; the largest effect sizes were for diary sleep efficiency (Cohen’s d = 0.76) and ISI (Cohen’s d = 1.03). Endpoint HRSD-17 was 7.9 (6.6) for CBTI versus 11.0 (8.7) for CTRL; HRSD-17 minus sleep items was 5.8 (5.6) versus 8.8 (7.3).
  • Patient expectation by treatment interaction was significant (Wald = 4.5, P = 0.033): in CTRL, 0% (0/9) with low expectation remitted versus 83% (5/6) with high expectation; in CBTI, 80% (4/5) with low expectation remitted versus 43% (3/7) with high expectation. Therapists’ expectations were higher for CBTI (4.5 [0.49]) than CTRL (3.5 [0.84]; P = 0.002).

Methods

  • Randomized, controlled pilot study at a single academic medical center. Thirty participants with MDD and insomnia were randomized to 12 weeks of open-label escitalopram plus 7 individual sessions of CBTI (n = 15) or control quasi-desensitization therapy (CTRL; n = 15); the analyzable sample was 13 in EsCIT + CBTI and 15 in EsCIT + CTRL.
  • Inclusion required DSM-IV-TR MDD, HRSD-17 score ≥ 14, and DSM-IV-TR insomnia by Duke Structured Interview plus diary criteria; exclusions included active suicidality/psychosis, seasonal MDD, comorbid psychiatric conditions, other primary sleep disorders, and incompatible medical conditions.
  • Depression was assessed by masked raters using HRSD-17 and the SCID depression portion at baseline and weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12. Sleep was assessed with the Insomnia Severity Index, daily sleep diaries, and actigraphy; analyses included remission rates, effect sizes, Fisher exact tests, chi-square tests, and logistic regression for expectations.

Limitations

  • The authors state the results are tentative because this was a pilot study with a small sample, relative homogeneity in racial distribution, exclusion of patients with comorbidity, and need for replication in larger samples and with a range of antidepressant medications.
  • The authors state the small sample precludes a meaningful mediation analysis of whether sleep improvement mediates differential depression remission.
  • The authors note that differential therapists’ expectations and patient expectations may have confounded findings, and recommend future research use different therapists for CBTI and CTRL or an alternative control therapy. Evident from the text: baseline age is inconsistently reported (abstract mean age 35 ± 18 vs. Table 1 total age 48.6 ± 13.3), and analyzable group sizes vary across the flow diagram and Table 2.

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.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-09.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-09.

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.
