Cognitive behavioral therapy for menopausal insomnia in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with insomnia and nocturnal hot flashes: a randomized-controlled pilot trial

Listen to this summary

This pilot trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral therapy intervention (CBT-MI) for treating insomnia and nocturnal hot flashes in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. The results indicated that CBT-MI significantly improved insomnia severity, sleep self-efficacy, and reduced hot flash interference compared to a menopause education control, with benefits persisting up to three months post-treatment.
