Smartphone application-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia with telephone support for insomnia disorder compared to a waitlist control: a randomised clinical trial.

ABSTRACT: Although there have been promising findings for smartphone application (app)-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), previous trials have not screened participants rigorously for insomnia disorder and used therapist support. Based on the above, we aimed to examine the effects of smartphone app-delivered CBT-I with telephone support against a waitlist (WL) in a sample with insomnia disorder. A total of 64 participants with insomnia disorder were randomised to smartphone app-delivered CBT-I (n = 32) or a WL (n = 32). Smartphone app-delivered CBT-I consisted of six weekly smartphone app modules with 15 min of telephone support per week. At pre- and post-treatment, and the 3-month follow-up, we assessed insomnia symptoms and associated correlates and consequences. At post
