Effectiveness of digital Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia in patients with musculoskeletal complaints and insomnia in primary care physiotherapy: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Insomnia is prevalent among patients visiting physiotherapists due to musculoskeletal complaints and associated with poorer pain prognosis. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) may be effective for improving sleep quality and pain-related outcomes in these patients, but its availability and utility are limited in daily physiotherapy practice. The aim of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the effectiveness of digital CBT-I in addition to usual treatment in patients with chronic musculoskeletal complaints and insomnia, compared with usual treatment only. In this RCT, eligible and consenting participants will be randomised (1:1 ratio) to one of two interventions: (1) digital CBT-I adjunct to physiotherapy treatment or (2) usual physiotherapy treatment.
