Two therapy approaches for sleep problems after brain injury

This trial is testing two different types of therapy — cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and mindfulness-based therapy for insomnia (MBTI) — to see which one works better for helping people with traumatic brain injury who are struggling with sleep problems and stress symptoms. Both therapies are delivered online through video visits. The study will compare how well each approach reduces sleep problems, improves mood, and helps with other symptoms that often follow brain injury.

Many people who have experienced a traumatic brain injury develop serious sleep problems and stress-related symptoms that can make recovery harder. While these therapy approaches have helped people with insomnia in the past, researchers want to know which one is most effective for people specifically dealing with the combination of brain injury, sleep problems, and trauma-related stress.
