| Title: | A Chinese Chan-based mind-body intervention improves sleep on patients with depression : a randomized controlled trial | Authors: | Chan, AS Wong, QY Sze, SL Kwong, PPK Han, YMY Cheung, MC |
Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | The scientific world journal, 2012, v. 2012, 235206, p. 1-10 | Abstract: | Sleep disturbance is a common problem associated with depression, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a more common behavioral intervention for sleep problems. The present study compares the effect of a newly developed Chinese Chan-based intervention, namely Dejian mind-body intervention (DMBI), with the CBT on improving sleep problems of patients with depression. Seventy-five participants diagnosed with major depressive disorder were randomly assigned to receive 10 weekly sessions of CBT or DMBI, or placed on a waitlist. Measurements included ratings by psychiatrists who were blinded to the experimental design, and a standardized questionnaire on sleep quantity and quality was obtained before and after the 10-week intervention. Results indicated that both the CBT and DMBI groups demonstrated significantly reduced sleep onset latency and wake time after sleep onset (effect size range = 0.46–1.0, P ≤ 0 . 0 5 ) as compared to nonsignificant changes in the waitlist group ( P > 0 . 1 ). Furthermore, the DMBI group, but not the CBT or waitlist groups, demonstrated significantly reduced psychiatrist ratings on overall sleep problems (effect size = 1.0, P = 0 . 0 0 ) and improved total sleep time (effect size = 0.8, P = 0 . 0 5 ) after treatment. The present findings suggest that a Chinese Chan-based mind-body intervention has positive effects on improving sleep in individuals with depression. | Keywords: | Depressive disorder Sleep Maintenance disorder Treatment outcome |
