The Effect of Digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia in People With Co-Morbid Insomnia and Sleep Apnoea (COMISA): A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Co-morbid insomnia and sleep apnoea (COMISA) is a prevalent and debilitating condition. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi) is an effective but largely inaccessible treatment in patients with COMISA.
