NCT ID NCT07651228

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether listening to ASMR or white noise before bed can improve sleep quality for adults recovering from elective lower leg surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to listen to a 30-minute ASMR recording, white noise, or receive routine care. Sleep quality is measured using a standard questionnaire on the first two nights after surgery. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to help patients rest better during recovery.
