Sound sleep: new study tests if pink noise can cure insomnia
NCT ID NCT07503223
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a wearable device that plays personalized low-frequency sounds (like pink noise) can help people with insomnia sleep better. Forty adults with sleep problems will use the device for 12 weeks, and their sleep will be measured with overnight brain-wave tests before and after treatment. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia symptoms.
