Abstract
Objective
The lack of current Canadian practice guidelines for the management of insomnia poses a challenge for healthcare providers (HCP) in selecting the appropriate treatment options. This study aimed to establish expert consensus recommendations for the management of chronic insomnia in Canada.
Composition of the committee
Sixteen multidisciplinary experts in sleep medicine and insomnia across Canada developed consensus recommendations based on their knowledge of the literature and their practical experience.
Methods
The consensus recommendations were developed through a Delphi method. Consensus was reached if at least 75 % of the voting participants “agreed” or “strongly agreed” with the corresponding statements. The quality of supporting evidence was rated using a GRADE rating system.
Report
Among 37 recommendations that reached consensus for the management of chronic insomnia, the experts recommend and agree that.
Conclusion
These consensus recommendations highlight the need to increase awareness, capacity for, and access to CBT-I; integrate newly approved pharmacotherapy; reduce both self-medication and medications with limited evidence or low risk/benefit ratio.
期刊介绍:
Sleep Medicine aims to be a journal no one involved in clinical sleep medicine can do without.
A journal primarily focussing on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry.
The journal publishes the following types of articles: Reviews (also intended as a way to bridge the gap between basic sleep research and clinical relevance); Original Research Articles; Full-length articles; Brief communications; Controversies; Case reports; Letters to the Editor; Journal search and commentaries; Book reviews; Meeting announcements; Listing of relevant organisations plus web sites.
