Study on Gamma Sensory Flicker for Insomnia

Treatment adherence rate

Participants adhered well to flicker therapy over eight weeks, as measured by the percentage of days they used the device out of the total days they were assigned to use it. Treatment adherence rate = days the patient completed treatment on time/56 days×100%

Time frame: 8 weeks （56 days）

Patient treatment adherence rate

Participants adhered well to flicker therapy over eight weeks, as measured by the percentage of days they used the device out of the total days they were assigned to use it. Patient treatment adherence rate = sum of all treatment adherence rates / number of patients participating in treatment×100%

Time frame: 8 weeks （56 days）

Incidence rate of adverse reaction

Describe the specific situation of adverse reactions, including types, frequency, severity, and whether they have been relieved. Incidence rate of adverse reactions = number of people experiencing adverse reactions/total number of people participating in treatment x 100%

Time frame: 8 weeks

Differences in sleep duration between the first and eighth weeks

Keep sleep diaries for the first and eighth weeks of treatment. A comparison of average sleep duration （hour） between the first and eighth weeks of treatment.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Differences in sleep onset latencies between the first and eighth weeks

Keep sleep diaries for the first and eighth weeks of treatment. A comparison of average sleep onset latencies （min）between the first and eighth weeks of treatment.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Differences in awakening times between the first and eighth weeks

Keep sleep diaries for the first and eighth weeks of treatment. A comparison of average waking times （times） between the first and eighth weeks of treatment.
