First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests a non-transdermal biofield patch against a placebo patch in 40 adults who often feel anxious. Over 4 weeks, researchers will measure changes in anxiety, sleep quality, and energy levels. The goal is to see if the patch offers any real benefit beyond a placebo effect.

- What this could lead to
