NCT ID NCT04206059

First seen May 02, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether playing sounds in sync with brain waves during light sedation can boost deep-sleep-like activity. Eighteen healthy adults received a sedative and were exposed to sounds timed to their brain's slow waves, compared to out-of-sync sounds or no sound. The goal was to see if this approach could enhance restorative brain activity, which may help improve sedation quality.
