Turning movement into music to treat trauma
NCT ID NCT07307937
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a device that turns body movements into sound can help people with acute stress disorder (ASD) feel more connected to themselves. Thirty adults who recently experienced a traumatic event will receive standard therapy plus this 'movement sonification' technique. The main goal is to see if people find it acceptable and can stick with it for three sessions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- movement sonification device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug way to help people feel more connected to their bodies after a traumatic event, potentially reducing the risk of long-term PTSD.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants. It is not designed to prove effectiveness, and the technology may not be practical or helpful for everyone.
