摘要
Insomnia is a common condition resulting in significant clinical and economic consequences. This review discusses the efficacy of non-pharmacologic treatment options commonly recommended for sleep onset and sleep maintenance insomnia. In addition, the efficacy of these approaches as part of a multifaceted intervention and in comparison to that of pharmacologic options is reviewed. The primary literature and review articles on the nonpharmacologic treatment of insomnia were identified through a MEDLINE search between 1966 and August 2006. Articles on the nonpharmacologic treatment of primary insomnia, including clinical trials on the efficacy of individual and combination treatment options, were reviewed. The nonpharmacologic treatment options for insomnia include stimulus control, sleep hygiene educations, sleep restriction, paradoxical intention, relaxation therapy, biofeedback, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. These treatment strategies produce significant changes in several sleep parameters of chronic insomniacs, including sleep-onset latency, wake time after sleep onset, sleep duration, and sleep quality. Many therapeutic options are available to treat insomnia, including nonpharmacologic strategies. Treatment recommendations, both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic, should be made based on patient-specific insomnia symptoms, treatment history, and medical history.
