Updates on The Evaluation and Management of Chronic Insomnia
Featuring: Christopher Earley, MBBCh, PhD, Saul A. Rothenberg, PhD, Richard Simon, MD Program Overview Close to one third of patients seen in the primary care setting experience occasional sleep difficulties and up to 10 percent of patients have chronic sleep problems. Insomnia is the most common sleep complaint reported by adults. Approximately 10 percent of adults complain of persistent insomnia, although most patients do not mention it during routine office visits. Asking sleep-related questions during the general review of systems and asking patients with sleep complaints to keep a sleep diary are helpful approaches in detecting insomnia, although insomnia is rarely the main reason for an office visit. Target Audience Family Care Practitioners, Internist, Psychiatrists, Sleep Specialists, and other interested healthcare professionals. There are no prerequisites. Click Here to Proceed to Program
