NCT ID NCT06335784
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two techniques to help people with insomnia: mental imagery (turning negative thoughts into positive ones) and using a scent during sleep to strengthen that positive feeling. 120 adults aged 18-45 with insomnia will be split into four groups to compare these methods against basic sleep tips. The goal is to see if these approaches reduce insomnia severity and improve sleep quality.
