NCT ID NCT07473011
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether an 18-day spa therapy program can reduce insomnia severity. About 270 adults who are already scheduled for spa treatment will fill out questionnaires about their sleep, fatigue, pain, and mood before, right after, and two months after the program. The goal is to see if spa therapy truly improves sleep quality.

Who is studied
Participants will be selected from all patients admitted for a prescribed 18-day thermal spa treatment at Balaruc-les-Bains as part of their usual medical care, regardless of therapeutic orientation (rheumatology, phlebology, or combined orientation). Eligible participants are adults aged 18 to 90 years, affiliated with the French Social Security system or an equivalent healthcare coverage, and presenting symptoms of insomnia defined by an Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score ≥ 8. Patients will be informed about the study by their thermal spa physician and the spa medical staff. Inclusion will occur after verification of eligibility criteria and signature of a non-opposition form. Individuals with cognitive impairment, inability to complete questionnaires in French, deprivation of liberty, legal guardianship, or medical contraindications to spa treatment will not be included.
