What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Relaxation CDOther

    A music CD specifically created for this study to promote effective sleep while deployed. It includes sleep instructions tailored to the military deployment environment. The CD includes a voice directed meditation component that helps focus the listener on relaxation in preparation for sleep. The second track is specifically designed music to promote slow breathing and induce sleep.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Relaxation CD in people with Sleep Disturbance, run by Brooke Army Medical Center at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mona O. Bingham, PhD ((210) 916-7159, mona.bingham@amedd.army.mil), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Actigraph and self report questionnaires (time frame: baseline, 6 months, 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Mar 2009.
