Detailed Description
This prospective observational study enrolled adult volunteers for a sleep quality research study through a questionnaire survey distributed via a WeChat two-dimensional code from May 2021 to April 2022. Participants were exposed to flicker stimulation through a light and sound device for a duration of 8 weeks with daily monitoring.
A total of 37 participants underwent polysomnography (PSG) prior to the commencement of the study.

insomnia group
insomnia participants participants underwent polysomnography (PSG), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). prior to the commencement of the study. 8 weeks of the intervention of Gamma sensory flicker, 30 min per day. After 8 weeks study, participants underwent polysomnography again. In the first week of study, participants were required to keep a daily sleep diary everyday. In the eighth week of study ,participants were required to keep a daily sleep diary everyday. |
participants were exposed to flicker stimulation through a light and sound device, the flicker was 40 Hz.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Treatment adherence rate
Time Frame: 8 weeks (56 days)
|
Participants adhered well to flicker therapy over eight weeks, as measured by the percentage of days they used the device out of the total days they were assigned to use it. Treatment adherence rate = days the patient completed treatment on time/56 days×100% |
8 weeks (56 days)
|
Patient treatment adherence rate
Time Frame: 8 weeks (56 days)
|
Participants adhered well to flicker therapy over eight weeks, as measured by the percentage of days they used the device out of the total days they were assigned to use it. Patient treatment adherence rate = sum of all treatment adherence rates / number of patients participating in treatment×100% |
8 weeks (56 days)
|
Incidence rate of adverse reaction
Time Frame: 8 weeks
|
Describe the specific situation of adverse reactions, including types, frequency, severity, and whether they have been relieved. Incidence rate of adverse reactions = number of people experiencing adverse reactions/total number of people participating in treatment x 100% |
8 weeks
|
Differences in sleep duration between the first and eighth weeks
Time Frame: 8 weeks
|
Keep sleep diaries for the first and eighth weeks of treatment. A comparison of average sleep duration (hour) between the first and eighth weeks of treatment. |
8 weeks
|
Differences in sleep onset latencies between the first and eighth weeks
Time Frame: 8 weeks
|
Keep sleep diaries for the first and eighth weeks of treatment. A comparison of average sleep onset latencies (min)between the first and eighth weeks of treatment. |
8 weeks
|
Differences in awakening times between the first and eighth weeks
Time Frame: 8 weeks
