Insomnia treatments

  Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can significantly affect an individual's quality of life. Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a type of meditation that involves the use of a mantra and is claimed to have several health benefits, including the improvement of sleep quality. This article provides a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature on the efficacy of TM for the treatment of insomnia. A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the use of TM for insomnia. The studies were assessed for quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool, and the outcomes of interest were subjective measures of sleep quality, including sleep onset latency, total sleep time, and wake after sleep onset. A total of 11 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis, involving a total of 673 participants. The studies varied in terms of the duration of the intervention and the length of follow-up. The contr

  Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects a large proportion of the population and can have significant negative effects on a person's quality of life. Relaxation techniques, such as progressive muscle relaxation, autogenic training, and guided imagery, have been used as non-pharmacological interventions to treat insomnia. This article provides a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature on the efficacy of relaxation techniques for the treatment of insomnia. A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the use of relaxation techniques for insomnia. The studies were assessed for quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool, and the outcomes of interest were subjective measures of sleep quality, including sleep onset latency, total sleep time, and wake after sleep onset. A total of 32 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis, involving a total of 2,165 participants. The studies varie

  Virtual reality (VR) technology has been used in a variety of healthcare settings, including the treatment of mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. Recently, VR has also been explored as a potential intervention for insomnia, a common sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. This article will provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature on the use of VR for the treatment of insomnia. A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the use of VR for insomnia. The studies were assessed for quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool, and the outcomes of interest were subjective measures of sleep quality, including sleep onset latency, total sleep time, and wake after sleep onset. A total of 11 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis, involving a total of 383 participants. The studies varied in terms of the type of VR intervention used, including v

  Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. While cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is considered the first-line treatment for insomnia, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has emerged as a potential alternative. ACT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on acceptance of unwanted thoughts and feelings and commitment to actions consistent with one's values. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of ACT in treating insomnia. The study included randomized controlled trials that compared ACT to a control or placebo intervention in adults with insomnia. The outcomes of interest were subjective measures of sleep quality, including sleep onset latency, total sleep time, and wake after sleep onset. The results of the meta-analysis showed that ACT was significantly more effective than control interventions in improving sleep onset latency, total sleep time, and wake after sleep onset. The study also foun

  Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that affects many people worldwide. Biofeedback, a non-pharmacological intervention, has been proposed as a potential treatment for insomnia. It is a technique that involves using electronic or mechanical instruments to provide real-time feedback about a physiological process, such as muscle tension, heart rate, or brain activity, with the goal of improving self-regulation of the process. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of biofeedback in treating insomnia. The study included randomized controlled trials that compared biofeedback to a control or placebo intervention in adults with insomnia. The outcomes of interest were subjective measures of sleep quality, including sleep onset latency, total sleep time, and wake after sleep onset. The results of the meta-analysis showed that biofeedback was significantly more effective than control interventions in improving sleep onset latency and total sleep tim

  Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. It is characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep, and can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. There are several treatment options available for insomnia, including prescription medications and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a non-pharmacological approach to treating insomnia that involves systematically tensing and relaxing various muscle groups throughout the body. In this article, we will discuss the effectiveness of PMR for insomnia based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant research studies. What is Progressive Muscle Relaxation? Progressive muscle relaxation is a relaxation technique that involves tensing and then relaxing various muscle groups throughout the body in a systematic way. The goal is to help the individual become more aware of the physical sensations associated
