NCT ID NCT07252128
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether listening to specially designed audio patterns (Brain Dynamic Audio Stimulation) for 30 minutes daily can improve sleep in healthcare workers with insomnia. Fifteen participants will use the audio for two weeks, and researchers will measure changes in sleep quality using questionnaires and brain wave recordings. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can help busy medical professionals get better rest.
