The sleep lotion significantly increased salivary melatonin levels by up to 1000-fold compared to the placebo, and improved sleep quality in a subsample of poor sleepers.
Approximately two-thirds of patients with ASD experienced improved sleep quality and duration with melatonin treatment.
86% of children experienced improvements in sleep onset, 54% in sleep duration, and 45% in night awakenings. Additionally, melatonin improved daytime behaviors in over 28% of the children.
All treatment groups (25, 50, and 100 mg TruCBN™) and the 4 mg melatonin group showed significant improvement in sleep quality compared to placebo. Participants taking 100 mg TruCBN™ experienced a larger decrease in stress.
Children with insomnia and treated with melatonin showed improved total sleep time, which may lead to a reduction in hyperactivity and other behavioral symptoms associated with ASD.
Participants experienced statistically significant improvements in subjective sleep quality, daytime alertness, insomnia symptoms, and anxiety, with a trend suggesting that benefits may persist beyond the period of consumption.
Feasibility and acceptability of MBLT were established, with over 85% adherence to the intervention and less than 10% dropout rate.
The treatment led to a significant decrease in harmful Enterobacteria and improved gut microbiome balance, which may alleviate ASD symptoms and have implications for neurodegenerative diseases.
After five sessions, the mean Melanin Index (MI) decreased by 28.7, and the median Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) decreased by 3.4 points. After ten sessions, the mean MI decreased by 31.3, and the median MASI decreased by 5.4 points, indicating a potential dose-response effect.
Significant improvements in sleep disturbance, anxiety, stress, and overall well-being were observed in participants using the botanical blend compared to placebo.
The mean UPDRS score decreased from 43.25 to 40, indicating improvement in motor symptoms. Cognitive function, walking, balance, postural stability, and constipation also showed significant improvements. Serum creatinine kinase levels decreased, and blood glucose and lipid levels normalized. One patient showed improvement in the MRI Parkinson's index.
The expected positive outcomes include improved sleep quality as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, along with reductions in fatigue, depression, and anxiety as assessed by various scales.
Both treatment sides showed improvement from baseline to the 24th week, but there was no statistically significant difference in improvement between the combination treatment and laser alone, as measured by the Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) and Patient Global Assessment (PGA) scores.
Non-pharmacological interventions, particularly CBT-i, have shown to improve sleep quality and may enhance overall mental and physical health in psychiatric inpatients.
Patients demonstrated a preserved circadian rhythm with increased daily activity and nocturnal activity starting from postoperative day 3, indicating effective recovery patterns.
