The Effects of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) on Sleep Quality Improvement in Adolescents

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Insomnia; Sleep Quality
• Interventions: Behavioral: listened to ASMR

• Registration Number: NCT06597110
• Lead Sponsor: Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Brief Summary

Background: This study explored the therapeutic impact of ASMR on sleep problems in high school students.

Methods: The study involved sixty participants, divided evenly into four groups: three intervention groups (A, B, C) and one control group. For five consecutive days, the intervention groups engaged in pre-sleep ASMR listening sessions lasting 10, 20, and 30 minutes, respectively. Sleep quality was evaluated using mobile application tools and the subjective Sleep Quality Scale.

Detailed Description

Background: In recent years, there has been a notable surge in sleep-related challenges among adolescents. The emergence of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) content across various social media platforms has sparked interest in its potential to address these issues. This study explored the therapeutic impact of ASMR on sleep problems in high school students.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index	0ne month	The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to assess sleep quality and disturbances over a one-month period. It consists of 19 questions covering various aspects of sleep, such as sleep duration, latency, efficiency, and disturbances. The responses are used to calculate a global score, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality. It\'s commonly used in clinical and research settings to evaluate sleep-related issues and their impact on overall health.
