Cognitive behavioral therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold standard treatment for insomnia. There is limited access to qualified providers to deliver CBT-I; moreover, there are patient populations who struggle with access to insomnia care due to limited time and resources. This includes caregivers for persons with Alzheimer's disease, for whom sleep disturbance is a common concern. Utilizing telehealth to deliver CBT-I may be particularly important for vulnerable populations such as caregivers of persons with dementia, as it can offer an accessible, safe, and cost-effective treatment option that can be tailored to meet the needs of a specific population. This case study illustrates the successful implementation of a four-session CBT-I protocol through telehealth with a caregiver of a person with Alzheimer's disease. Given the success of this case and the conditions for psychological care the recent pandemic has created, continued research into the efficacy of sleep-related interventions through telehealth is warranted.

使用远程医疗为阿尔茨海默病患者的照顾者提供失眠的认知行为治疗。

失眠的认知行为疗法（CBT-I）是失眠的金标准治疗方法。合格的提供者提供 CBT-I 的机会有限；此外，由于时间和资源有限，有些患者难以获得失眠护理。这包括阿尔茨海默病患者的护理人员，他们普遍关心睡眠障碍。利用远程医疗提供 CBT-I 对于弱势群体（例如痴呆症患者的护理人员）可能特别重要，因为它可以提供一种可访问、安全且具有成本效益的治疗选择，可以根据特定人群的需求进行定制。该案例研究说明了通过远程医疗与阿尔茨海默病患者的护理人员成功实施了四次 CBT-I 协议。
