Study Summary

This trial will study whether using Cereset Research can help improve stress symptoms in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthcare workers over 18 who are feeling stressed, as shown by scoring at least 14 on the Perceived Stress Index. They must be able to follow instructions and sit still for an hour. It's not for those over 400 pounds, with severe hearing loss, a history of certain brain treatments or therapies within the last month, seizure disorders, recent suicidal thoughts, long-COVID symptoms, medical students or anyone in another study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Cereset Research to see if it can help healthcare workers manage stress during COVID-19. Participants will receive this intervention in sessions where they need to sit still and listen through earbuds. The study includes a waitlist control group for comparison.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since Cereset Research involves non-invasive brainwave optimization using sound through earbuds, side effects might include discomfort from sitting still or wearing earbuds but no significant medical side effects are expected.
