Longterm Effects of a Biofield Patch on Anxiety, Sleep, and Energy
Clinical Trial on Long-Term Effects of a Biofield Patch on Anxiety, Sleep, and Energy. A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled 4-week Trial.
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The goal for this clinical trial is to document effects of a photobiomodulating non-transdermal patch compared to a placebo patch, in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled design.
Data on stress and anxiety levels will be collected using the GAD and OASIS questionnaires as well as the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scales collected. The data collected will show whether the daily use of the patch leads to a change in general self-reported stress and anxiety levels. Data on energy levels will be collected using a Wellness questionnaire. Data on sleep quality will be collected using the Leeds sleep evaluation questionnaire, to document whether using the active patch impacts self-reported sleep.
