About this study

Official title: Effect of Vascular Photobiomodulation on Sleep Quality, Relaxation and Stress Control: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of vascular photobiomodulation on sleep quality, relaxation and stress when compared to placebo.

Read the detailed description

The quality of sleep is directly linked to the quality of human life. Irradiation of blood in the transcutaneous vascular technique is believed to decrease blood viscosity and platelet aggregation; activates superoxide dismutase; promotes increased oxygen content and stimulates microcirculation, it also stimulates increased serotonin production and cortisol reduction. Serotonin functions include sleep initiation, mood improvement, anxiety and depression. Therefore, the objective of the present project is to evaluate the effect of ILIB on salivary biomarkers related to stress and sleep. Therefore, participants with problems related to sleep quality will be selected and divided into 2 groups, group 1 undergoing ILIB Therapy twice a week for 30 minutes and group 2 the same frequency and time of application, but with placebo equipment. At the end of 10 sessions, salivary biomarkers related to stress and sleep and the patients' perception will be evaluated through specific questionnaires on the effect of ILIB on sleep, stress and relaxation.

What participants receive

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

  • vascular photobiomodulationProcedure or surgery

    application of photobiomodulation with the device O Ecco ILIB (Eccofibras, São Paulo, Brazil) containing its red wavelength 660 nm ± 10 nm and power 100 mW, with an application time of 30 minutes. The device will be positioned with the spot located in the radial artery of the participant's arm (right or left), and fixed to the wrist with a specific bracelet.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vascular photobiomodulation in people with Stress Disorder and Sleep Disorder, run by University of Nove de Julho at 1 site in Brazil.

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 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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 Lara Motta, PhD (11998829511, larajmotta@terra.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality of sleep (time frame: five weeks). 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 5 Oct 2022.
