NCT ID NCT04860973

Summary

This small UK study tested whether using a weighted blanket for a week could help adults recovering from a brain injury feel less agitated and sleep better while in a rehabilitation hospital. The main goal was to see if this kind of study was practical to run in a real-world healthcare setting. Researchers also gathered feedback from patients and staff about their experience with the blankets.
