Study Summary

This triallooks at how a special type of lighting can improve sleep, thinking, and alertness for people working from home.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults who work from home during the day, don't use light therapy or special glasses, aren't pregnant, have good sleep quality and normal color vision. They shouldn't be planning any travel during the study and must be in good health without extreme sleeping patterns.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a biodynamic lighting system designed to improve sleep, cognitive function, and alertness in home office workers by changing light intensity and colors throughout the workday according to a set schedule.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves lighting interventions rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort with changes in lighting or potential eye strain.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Biodynamic Condition followed by an Active Placebo Condition.Experimental Treatment2 Interventions

Each lighting condition will last for two weeks (Weeks 2-3 or 4-5), be limited to the 10 workdays, and be active for 8 hours per day. The order of conditions will be randomized.

Group II: Active Placebo Condition followed by Biodynamic ConditionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Each lighting condition will last for two weeks (Weeks 2-3 or 4-5), be limited to the 10 workdays, and be active for 8 hours per day. The order of conditions will be randomized.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Are there any recruitment opportunities available for this trial?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov records evidencing that this clinical trial, which initially appeared on October 1st 2022, is currently recruiting participants. 25 individuals are sought from a single medical centre."

Answered by AI

What is the maximum number of participants accepted for this clinical research endeavor?

"Absolutely. Clinicaltrials.gov confirms that the trial, which commenced on October 1st 2022 is actively looking for volunteers to participate in this experiment; with 25 candidates needed from a single location."

Answered by AI

Is the target population of this research endeavor restricted to those aged 50 or older?

"According to the set parameters for enrolment, this trial has an age restriction of 18 years and older but no more than 65."

Answered by AI

What goals is this research endeavor seeking to accomplish?

"The key purpose of this 5 week-long study is to gauge the alteration in working memory, as evaluated by Visual Object Learning Task (VOLT) scores. Additionally, participants' aptitude for abstraction, spatial orientation and motor speed will be examined via abstract matching tests, line orientation tasks and Motor Praxis Tasks respectively."

Answered by AI

What criteria must a participant meet to join this trial?

"We are attempting to enlist 25 participants with sleep issues ranging in age from 18-65. To be eligible for this trial one must have a good health record and abstain from using light therapy, blue blocking lenses/glasses or tinted contact lenses during the study period."
