Modulation of Sleep Slow Wave Activity Through Acoustic Stimulation and Its Consequences on Cardiovascular Functions

Caroline Lustenberger·interventional·Posted Nov 18, 2019·Updated May 16, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Acoustic stimulation and SHAM acoustic stimulation for Sleep. Completed, enrolled 71 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Sleep and particularly deep sleep are playing an important role for brain and body health. Poor sleep has been associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease and moreover, is hypothesized to increased mortality risk of cardiovascular diseases. Yet, the role of specific sleep processes for cardiovascular function remains unclear. Particularly deep sleep, which is manifested by large amplitude, low frequency oscillations is of importance for the restorative functions of sleep. Thus, the modulation of deep sleep by auditory stimulation will be of central interests to assess the cause-effect relationship of specific processes within sleep for cardiovascular regulation. This study will assess the effects of slow wave modulating auditory stimulation on cardiovasuclar functions in healthy male participants.

Interventions

Acoustic stimulationother

Acoustic stimulation to modulate slow waves.

SHAM acoustic stimulationother

This is the sham-control intervention; only the biosignal will be recorded but no acoustic stimulation will be played.
