Randomized Double-Blind Pilot Study to Examine the Effects of a Localized Body Cooling Technology on Sleep and Metabolism in African, American With Overweight and Obesity
Abstract
The goal of this study is to see the effect that a cooling pillow pad called Moona has on sleep quality.
Conditions: Overweight or Obesity.
Primary outcome: Sleep Outcome-Time to sleep onset; Sleep Outcome- Wake time; Sleep Outcome- Sleep microarousals; Sleep Outcome- Sleep duration; Change in Sleep duration from baseline to day 22; Sleep Outcome- Regularity of sleep; Sleep Outcome- Sleep efficiency; Change in sleep efficiency from baseline to day 22; Change in glucose homeostasis after 22 days of Moona Device usage..
Enrollment: 18 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 18 participants or records.
