Abstract

Nightmares and sleep disturbance are fundamental concerns for victims of trauma. This study examined the efficacy of a manualized cognitive–behavioral treatment (CBT) for chronic nightmares in trauma‐exposed individuals via a randomized clinical trial. Participants were randomly assigned to a treatment group or wait‐list control group, with 27 participants completing the treatment. At the 6‐month follow‐up assessment, 84% of treated participants reported an absence of nightmares in the previous week. Significant decreases were also reported in symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress, fear of sleep, and number of sleep problems, while sleep quality and quantity improved. The present study adds to the growing literature indicating this brief CBT as a first‐line treatment for trauma‐exposed individuals with chronic nightmares.
