Neurophysiological and Sleep-Related Effects of a Cosmetic Shampoo and Conditioner in Adults With Scalp Discomfort
Neurophysiological, Sleep-Related, and Mood Effects of a Cosmetic Shampoo and Conditioner Regimen in Adults With Scalp Discomfort and Sleep Difficulty: A Pilot EEG-Based Observational Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether regular use of Nizoral® Daily Prevent shampoo and conditioner can improve scalp comfort, sleep experiences, mood, and overall well-being in adults who have scalp discomfort and difficulty sleeping. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does using the shampoo and conditioner improve scalp comfort and reduce the impact of scalp discomfort on daily life?
- Does using the shampoo and conditioner improve sleep experiences and how rested participants feel?
- Does using the shampoo and conditioner affect mood and other measures of well-being?.
Participants completed a one-week period without hair products, followed by two weeks of using the study shampoo and conditioner at least three times per week. During the study, participants:
- Attended weekly study visits.
- Answered questions about their scalp comfort, sleep, and daily experiences.
- Wore a wrist-based sleep tracking device throughout the study. Completed weekly questionnaires about sleep and scalp health.
- Took part in non-invasive brain activity measurements during study visits.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
This was a prospective, single-arm, observational study evaluating the effects of regular use of a cosmetic shampoo and conditioner on scalp comfort, sleep-related experiences, mood, and neurophysiological responses in adults reporting scalp discomfort and sleep difficulties.
Participants were recruited from an internal volunteer database and screened against predefined eligibility criteria. All participants provided written informed consent before any study procedures.
The study consisted of four weekly visits: a baseline visit (EEG, scalp and sleep questionnaires, initiation of Fitbit sleep monitoring), a washout visit one week later with no hair products, followed by two further visits assessing early and extended effects after approximately one and two weeks of product use, respectively. Daily sleep monitoring and weekly questionnaires continued throughout.
EEG recordings were analyzed using Cognalyzer® EEG-based metrics, including mood valence, relaxation, sleepiness, anger, and mental arousal. The primary objective was to evaluate changes in neurophysiological and self-reported measures of scalp comfort, sleep experiences, mood, and well-being following product use; exploratory objectives included sleep-related outcomes and EEG-derived indicators of emotional and cognitive state.
