Clinical trial for Healthy Adult Male and Female Volunteers
Official title Evaluating a Mat-Based Biometric Vibration System for Sleep and Daily Recovery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07221318
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to find out whether using a low‑frequency vibrating mat for 3 weeks can improve heart rate variability, sleep quality, mood, perceived stress, and anxiety compared with no mat use.
- Who it's for
- Healthy adults aged 18 to 45, both men and women.
- What's involved
- Participants will attend two lab visits for questionnaires, heart rate variability (HRV) and brain activity (EEG) recordings, and a short attention test. During the 3‑week program, the experimental group will use the vibrating mat for 15 minutes on 3‑4 days a week while HRV is recorded; the control group will lie quietly for 15 minutes while HRV is recorded. All participants will record HRV for 15 minutes before bedtime and 15 minutes after waking on those same days, and will complete brief check‑ins about feelings and log caffeine, alcohol, exercise, and medications.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts 3 weeks, with two 60‑minute lab visits and daily 15‑minute sessions (mat or quiet) plus nightly HRV recordings and brief check‑ins.

Who can take part
Ages 18 to 45. Healthy volunteers may be eligible.
You may be able to join if
- Adults 18-45 years.
- Able to provide written informed consent.
- Apparently healthy and free of unstable cardiovascular, neurological, or psychiatric conditions per screening.
- Cleared for low-to-moderate intensity whole-body vibration delivered supine/recumbent on a mat.

- Apparently healthy and free of unstable cardiovascular, neurological, or psychiatric conditions per screening.
- Cleared for low-to-moderate intensity whole-body vibration delivered supine/recumbent on a mat.
- Willing and able to comply with study procedures: two lab visits; 3-week home protocol (3-4 days/week); three 15-min sessions; brief affect check-ins and daily logs.
- Willing to abstain from caffeine, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours before each lab visit and to attend visits at the same time of day.
- Able to lie supine for 15 minutes and follow instructions for the HRV device.
- Implanted electronic medical devices (e.g., pacemaker, neurostimulator).
- Uncontrolled hypertension or severe vestibular disorders.
- Current substance dependence.
- Medications known to markedly affect autonomic function or sleep architecture (e.g., beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics, sedative-hypnotics, antidepressants with strong autonomic effects).
- Diagnosed neurological or psychological disorders that substantially affect emotional processing or autonomic regulation (severe psychiatric conditions).
- Prior extensive experience with vibration therapies (to minimize expectancy bias).
- Any condition judged by study staff to contraindicate vibration exposure or preclude safe participation (including inability to tolerate supine/recumbent position).
- Unwillingness to refrain from initiating new structured exercise or relaxation programs during the study period.
