Scoping Review of Physical Activity Interventions for Insomnia

A scoping review synthesizing evidence from 32 randomized controlled trials on physical activity interventions for insomnia. The review was conducted by Xiaotu Zhang and published on figshare in 2026, mapping evidence to the Nursing Science Precision Health model. The included studies were published within the past decade and sourced from eight databases.

Use Cases

• Mapping research evidence to a precision health framework based on the described NSPH domains.
• Identifying gaps in symptom assessment and phenotypic characterization for insomnia as described in the review.
• Analyzing the effects of different physical activity modalities on sleep outcomes as synthesized from the included trials.

Strengths

• Includes 32 randomized controlled trials, providing a substantial evidence base.
• Follows established JBI and PRISMA-ScR methodological standards for scoping reviews.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single 3.4 MB PDF file; the underlying structured data from the review is not provided.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the PDF.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for computational analysis.
