Introduction: Sleep disorders, including insomnia disorder, can affect all aspects of personal life and often occur during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. Data on the number of women who suffer from sleep disorders during menopause range from 28% to 63%. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a multi-component, drug-free treatment approach that targets behavioral and cognitive factors that contribute to chronic sleep disorders. The aim of this scope review was to evaluate the effectiveness of CBT-I on insomnia severity among menopausal women.
Methods: An extensive literature search was conducted of the Pubmed, Scopus, Cinahl and Medline electronic databases. The search yielded 459 studies, of which 8 eventually met the entry requirements for RCTs.
Results: The majority of the studies included in the current review demonstrated the benefits of CBT-I intervention in the amelioration of insomnia in menopausal women. CBT-I intervention was found to be an efficacious option for the treatment of menopausal women with insomnia with its effect to be sustained over time.
Conclusion: Further studies in larger populations are needed to confirm the effectiveness of CBT-I programs for treating menopausal insomnia.
