Therapist-guided remote CBT is just as effective as in-person CBT for a range of mental health disorders, a new review of clinical trials showed.
Remote cognitive behavioral therapy is just as effective as in-person CBT for a range of mental health and somatic disorders, a new review of more than 50 randomized clinical trials showed.
Access to evidence-based mental healthcare such as CBT can be challenging in a country as geographically large, and as sparsely populated, as Canada. To increase access, some of the provinces have funded internet-based CBT, but the efficacy of in-person vs remote CBT remains uncertain. A total of 17 studies focused on the treatment of anxiety and related disorders, 14 on depression and mood disorders, seven on insomnia, six on chronic pain or fatigue syndromes, five on body image or eating disorders, three on tinnitus, and one on alcohol use disorder.
Analysis using end scores also showed little to no difference in efficacy between in-person and remote CBT .The authors noted that remote CBT can potentially expand access to care as it is more convenient for patients and potentially more cost-effective.
