摘要

Background

Cancer-related insomnia demonstrates twice the prevalence observed in the general population, with significant implications for disease progression. This network meta-analysis systematically compares the therapeutic efficacy of diverse interventions for managing insomnia in oncological populations.

Methods

We systematically queried four biomedical databases (PubMed, Embase, Medbase, and Web of Science) for eligible studies assessing insomnia interventions in cancer patients. Primary outcomes encompassed standardized metrics: Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), sleep onset latency (SOL), wake after sleep onset (WASO), total sleep time (TST), and sleep efficiency (SE). A frequentist approach with random-effects model was employed for comparative effectiveness analysis.

Results

The analysis incorporated 21 studies with sample sizes ranging from 16 to 255 participants. Comparative evaluation against standard care revealed that both cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) (MD = − 3.04, 95%CI[− 4.49,−1.59]) and electroacupuncture (MD = − 3.80, 95%CI[− 6.50,−1.09]) produced clinically meaningful reductions in ISI scores, while CBT-I (MD = 2.71%, 95%CI[0.89,4.53]) and Tai Chi (MD = 5.26%, 95%CI[0.41,10.11]) exhibited statistically significant improvements in sleep efficiency metrics.

Conclusions

CBT-I emerges as an evidence-based intervention for ameliorating insomnia severity and optimizing sleep efficiency in cancer patients. Complementary modalities including electroacupuncture and Tai Chi present viable alternatives. Methodological limitations necessitate future rigorously designed trials to strengthen clinical recommendations.
