Improving sleep with gentle noise and quiet routines in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing a gentle, low-level noise (called pink noise) and setting up a 'quiet night' routine can improve sleep for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you are in the ICU and can tolerate earplugs or an eye mask, this might help you sleep better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
