U.S., Aug. 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07791628) titled 'Electrical Grounding and Sleep Quality in Hospitalised Patients With Cancer' on Aug. 24.
Brief Summary: Sleep disturbance is one of the most common and most persistent symptoms in patients admitted for cancer care, and the options available during a short hospital stay are limited. The human body is electrically conductive, so an alternating potential - known as body voltage - is induced on the skin by mains wiring and appliances near the bed. Body voltage can be lowered by connecting the body to earth, and higher body voltage has been reported to be associated with lower vagal (parasympathetic) tone.
