Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive therapy intervention with transracial brain stimulation (tDCS) on sleep quality in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Method: The method of this study is a quasi-experimental design with two experimental groups and a control group with pre-test and post-test. The statistical population of the study is all people with obsessive-compulsive disorder referring to counseling centers in Tehran in 1404. 45 people with obsessive-compulsive disorder were selected based on the DSM5-TR diagnostic guide using purposive sampling and were assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental groups participated in tDCS and Beck cognitive therapy sessions based on the selected intervention, while the members of the control group did not receive any intervention. The study subjects completed the Petersburg Sleep Quality Questionnaire (1989) as a pre-test and post-test.
Results: The results of multivariate analysis of covariance showed that cognitive therapy and transcranial brain stimulation (TDCS) have a significant effect on sleep quality and its components (general description of sleep, latency to fall asleep, useful sleep duration, sleep quality, and sleep disorders) in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (P<0.05). The post hoc test of Benferney's Beck cognitive therapy has a greater effect on the overall score of sleep quality compared to transcranial stimulation (TDCS), and the effect of Beck cognitive therapy on the components of medication use and morning performance is not significant. (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that although there is no obvious difference between the effectiveness of cognitive therapy and transcranial brain stimulation (TDCS) on sleep quality in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, both treatments were effective in improving sleep quality and it is recommended that they be used in the treatment of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
