Long-term clinical effect of group cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia: a case series study

Cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is recognized as the first-choice intervention for insomnia. One of the best-known advantages of CBT-I in comparison with pharmacotherapy is the long-term effect. However, only few studies have assessed its benefits with follow-up periods of longer than 3  years. In this clinical case series study we aimed to describe the long-term effects of group CBT-I after a mean 7.8 ± 1.6 years of follow-up (range 4–10 years).
