NCT ID NCT07486882
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a headband that uses sound waves (acoustic resonance therapy) can improve sleep quality in people with moderate to severe chronic insomnia. It compares the headband to a standard behavioral therapy (CBT-I) over 6 weeks. About 60 adults will participate to see which approach works better for sleep.

- If successful, this could offer a new, non-drug option for improving sleep quality in people with chronic insomnia.
