Perioperative non-pharmaceutical therapies for insomnia in cancer survivors: a systematic review and network meta-analysis protocol

The presence of perioperative insomnia is common but yet often overlooked among cancer survivors. Non-pharmaceutical therapies have shown promise in treating cancer-related insomnia during the perioperative period; however, the existing evidence from various studies remains inconsistent. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review and assess the effectiveness of a wide range of non-pharmaceutical interventions during perioperative period for cancer-related insomnia. Findings from this study will help to make evidence-based treatment decisions.
