About this trial

This study will employ cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) among individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) who experience sleep disturbances.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

1. Does CBT-I positively impact symptoms of mTBI? 2. Does CBT-I improve functional performance in individuals with mTBI?
