Abstract

Combined BZRA deprescribing and CBTI did not meaningfully worsen pain in older adults. These results highlight the opportunity for using a combination of CBTI and deprescribing methods in patients with insomnia and comorbid pain, as well as a need for additional interventions to specifically address pain in older adults with chronic insomnia.
