In a study of Somryst, participants who completed all six modules of CBT significantly improved their insomnia compared to those who did not, and the efficacy was sustained at 12-month follow up.
“In the case of ‘Somryst,’ which is ‘Pear Therapeutics’ digital treatment for insomnia, a study has shown that participants who completed all six modules of CBT significantly improved their insomnia compared to those who did not, and the efficacy was sustained at 12-month follow up [10,11].”
From A Review of Current Digital Mental Health Care Applications for Anxiety Symptoms and Future Prospects (2024) · cites this paper as [11]
In “High attrition and low engagement” (page not provided), the paper reports a greater decrease in insomnia scores among Somryst participants who completed all six CBT modules than among those who did not, and says efficacy was sustained at 12 months. It does not say the difference between completers and non-completers was statistically significant; its statement about significant benefits concerns the digital therapeutic versus a control condition.

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.
