NCT ID NCT06768749

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

Summary

This study is testing whether a lotion containing melatonin can improve sleep quality, mood, and anxiety in 60 young adults with mild sleep and mental health issues. Participants will wear a wrist monitor and heart rate strap, fill out surveys, and give saliva samples during two treatment weeks—one with melatonin lotion and one with a plain lotion. The goal is to see if applying melatonin through the skin is a safe and effective way to help with sleep and emotional well-being.
