NCT ID NCT05972486
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a headband called Muse-S, which senses brain activity, could help midlife women with sleep problems like insomnia. Thirty-one women going through menopause wore the device at home. The goal was to see if it was practical and if it improved sleep quality and daytime function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Muse-S headband system (a wireless EEG headband that tracks brain activity and connects to a mobile app)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug, at-home option to help midlife women sleep better.
What could go wrong
This was a small, early feasibility study with only 31 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is not a cure for insomnia and may not work for all sleep issues.
