- Sleep changes were measured in response to group psychotherapy for chronic depression.
- Study groups: MBCT plus treatment-as-usual (TAU), CBASP plus TAU; Control group: TAU only.
- The CBASP group psychotherapy improved stable sleep compared with TAU.
ObjectiveTo capture any sleep quality changes associated with group psychotherapy.Patients/methodsPhysician-referred, chronically depressed patients (nâ=â25) were randomized to either eight group sessions of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT, nâ=â9) plus Treatment As Usual (TAU), or the Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP, nâ=â8) plus TAU, or to TAU only (control group, nâ=â8). Participants recorded their sleep at home. The primary outcome variables were: stable and unstable sleep, which were assessed using cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) analysis, and estimated total sleep and wake time (minutes). Cardiopulmonary coupling measures heart rate variability and the electrocardiogram's R-wave amplitude fluctuations associated with respiration.ResultsBy post-treatment night 6, the CBASP group had more stable sleep (pâ=â0.044) and less wake (pâ=â0.004) compared with TAU, and less wake vs MBCT (pâ=â0.039).ConclusionThe CBASP group psychotherapy treatment improved sleep quality compared with Treatment As Usual.
