PBM or Dry Float Therapy on Sleep Quality in Middle-aged and Elderly

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sleep Quality

In brief

The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of implementing photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, either localized or whole body, or dry float on sleep quality in middle-aged and elderly individuals experiencing sleep disturbance. As a secondary objective we will analyze the effect of the treatments on other indices of recovery (subjective and objective) via physiological monitoring in middle-aged and elderly individuals experiencing sleep disturbance. The study will have 2 phases: Phase 1 will last 5 weeks and will serve as baseline data collection of sleep quality. Phase 2 contains the experimental conditions and will last 13 weeks. Cognitive, behavioral, and physiological tests will be done at baseline (week 1) and at the end of experimental period (week 18). Sleep tracking data will be collected daily.
