NCT ID NCT07680608
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This pilot study investigates whether using Nizoral® Daily Prevent shampoo and conditioner at least three times a week for two weeks can improve scalp comfort, sleep quality, and mood in adults who have both scalp discomfort and trouble sleeping. Participants wore a wrist sleep tracker, answered questionnaires, and had non-invasive brain activity measurements. The goal is to see if a simple cosmetic routine can have broader benefits for well-being.

Nizoral® Daily Prevent shampoo and conditioner
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to improve sleep and mood by easing scalp discomfort.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 21 participants and no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention is cosmetic, not medicinal, so any benefits are likely modest.
