The applicability and effectiveness of the cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (Smart CBT-I plus) online program in patients with insomnia disorder combined with anxiety and depression: a randomized controlled trial protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A balance is needed between the convenience and efficiency of web-based technology and patient needs.
