Brief Summary

nsomnia is a frequent complaint reported by patients with TBI, and exacerbates their ability to return to productive activity, which subsequently elevate related healthcare costs and burden. Existing literatures found that effects of CBTi, first-line therapy for insomnia, on post-traumatic insomnia is still debated, indicating that developing an alternative nonpharmacological therapy for alleviating insomnia following TBI is required. Besides, digital health is one of strategies to achieve precision health. Thus far, knowledge regarding whether mobile-delivered BBTi has non-inferiority effects as BBTi in treating insomnia is still lacking. Therefore, a RCT with a large sample size to examine the immediate and lasting effects of BBTi and mobile-delivered BBTi on insomnia, mood disturbances, and cognitive dysfunctions in patients following TBI at the recovery stage compared with the control participants.
