Study Summary

This trial will test how well a light therapy called photobiomodulation affects sleep, stress, and performance.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 18-50 who have no major health issues like heart, lung, kidney diseases or sleep disorders. Participants must fit within certain physical parameters such as head size and weight, not be pregnant or trying to conceive, and maintain a stable lifestyle without significant travel or medication changes planned.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effects of Photobiomodulation (PBM) on sleep quality and performance. It aims to understand how PBM influences sleep patterns, nighttime physiology, recovery from stressors, subjective wellness feelings, and overall well-being.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the information provided does not specify side effects of PBM directly related to this trial's interventions; generally speaking, potential side effects may include discomfort at the site of application or light sensitivity in individuals predisposed to photophobia.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is there still capacity for new participants in this medical trial?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov lists this medical trial as currently recruiting patients, which commenced on October 25th 2021 and was recently updated at the start of February 2022. 40 participants must be found from a single research site for inclusion in the study."

Answered by AI

Is this research project open to adults who are older than 25?

"As per the enrollment specifications, volunteers must be between 18 and 50 years of age."

Answered by AI

What is the ultimate ambition of this research project?

"The main goal of this 8-week study is to measure the impact of PBM on sleep quality using electroencephalograms (EEGs). As secondary objectives, participants will also be surveyed about their sleeping disturbances with a 34-item checklist; assessed for anaerobic neuromuscular performance through a 30-second BOSCO test and evaluated for mental rotation capabilities via computer task."

Answered by AI

How many participants have been included in this clinical study?

"Affirmative, the information found on clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this research is presently enrolling participants. This scientific examination was initially declared on October 25th 2021 and received a recent edit date of February 8th 2022. A total of 40 subjects need to be recruited across 1 medical site."

Answered by AI

Could I be a potential participant in this experiment?

"Patients aged between 18 and 50 that have poor sleep quality are required for this trial. Notably, the participants should be either male or female within the aforementioned age range."
