Abstract Details

A Pilot, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial of Cereset Research for Insomnia
Sleep
P2 - Poster Session 2 (8:00 AM-9:00 AM)
5-007
Evaluate the use of Cereset Research® (CR), a noninvasive, closed-loop, artificial intelligence (AI) driven, acoustic neuromodulation technology for insomnia. 
In prior studies, High-resolution, relational, resonance-based, electroencephalic mirroring (HIRREM®) reduced symptoms of insomnia, and improved heart rate variability (HRV).  HIRREM is operator dependent, with difficulty scaling.  CR uses HIRREM core technology, echoing tones linked to brainwaves, but includes updated components, standardized AI driven protocols, software management of designs, and shorter sessions to improve scalability.  This placebo-controlled trial explores use of CR for insomnia.
18 adults (13 females) with insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index, ISI, of ≥8 points for ≥1 month) are enrolled in this randomized, controlled trial.  Subjects receive ten 60 minute sessions of tones linked to brainwaves (CR), versus random tones (RT), plus continued current care. Data is collected at baseline (V1), 0-14 days (V2), and 6-8 weeks (V3) after intervention.  Primary outcome is change in ISI score at V3.  Secondary outcome includes HRV (SDNN and rMSSD) based on 10-minute BP and HR recordings using a BIOPAC device.  RT subjects can cross-over to receive CR after V3.  Formal statistical analysis awaits completion of the target of n=20, but we report initial changes in ISI, SDNN and rMSSD.
18 subjects enrolled, with 1 dropout after first session due to job change.  For n=17, change in median ISI score from V1 to V3 is -7 for CR, and -4 for RT.  Mean SDNN increased 32.2% (SE 12.8) for CR, and 5.6% (14.7) for RT, while rMSSD increased 88.8% (36.7) for CR, and 33.7% (38.7) for RT, with no serious adverse events reported.
This suggests similar, clinically meaningful reductions in ISI score, and increased HRV with CR, as seen previously with HIRREM, suggesting promise as a scalable, non-drug intervention for insomnia.  Final results will be presented.
