  • Title: [Interpersonal psychotherapy in treatment of patients with primary insomnia--preliminary data of polysomnographic macro-analysis].
    Author: Müller-Popkes K, Hajak G.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1996; 146(13-14):303-5. PubMed ID: 9012161.
    Abstract:
    There has not been done much research on psychotherapeutic treatment of patients with primary insomnia. Interpersonal psychotherapy for insomnia (IPT-I) represents a new causal strategy in the treatment of insomnia, which has been evaluated in this study. 25 patients were treated in 12 single sessions either with IPT-I or with progressive relaxation training. Preliminary polysomnographic data show significant improvement of total sleep time, sleep efficiency and wake after sleep onset of the IPT-I-patients, while the PR-patients only improved slightly. IPT-I therefore was shown to be a promising strategy in the treatment of patients with primary insomnia.
