Cognitive-behavioral, behavioural and mindfulness-based therapies for insomnia in menopause

Cognitive-behavioral, behavioural and mindfulness-based therapies for insomnia in menopause Objectives Insomnia is frequently reported by women during menopause due to physiological changes and environmental factors and is associated with negative daytime sequelae.

Abstract

Objectives Insomnia is frequently reported by women during menopause due to physiological changes and environmental factors and is associated with negative daytime sequelae. Due to medication side effects and patient preferences, there is increased interest in the use of psychological treatments for menopausal insomnia. The primary objective of this review is to review the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral, behavioral, and mindfulness-based (CBBMB) therapies in treating insomnia in peri- and post-menopausal women. The secondary objective is to review the effect of CBBMB therapies on relevant secondary outcomes to gain a comprehensive understanding of their impacts. Methods We conducted a narrative review of the literature. A search of PubMed and Google Scholar was conducted between January 2020 and March 2021. Results Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia is efficacious, with corollary improvements in mood, functional outcomes and potential mechanistic factors (e.g., unhelpful beliefs). Sleep restriction therapy is also efficacious, with somewhat poorer effects on secondary outcomes relative to CBT. Mindfulness meditation and relaxation for insomnia demonstrated promise, but its long-term effects remain unknown. Conclusions Research with more diverse samples and head-to-head comparisons is needed. Dissemination of CBBMBs for insomnia in clinics where menopausal women seek care is an important next step.
