Brief Summary:
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the impact of Brain Gym Therapy on the quality of sleep among elderly individuals attending healthcare facilities The study will explore whether this non-pharmacological intervention can improve sleep quality which is often compromised in the elderly population due to various health conditions and age-related changes Participants will undergo Brain Gym Therapy sessions over a specified period and their sleep quality will be assessed using validated sleep measurement tools The findings may provide insights into alternative methods for enhancing sleep in older adults
Detailed Description:
This study investigates the effects of Brain Gym Therapy on the quality of sleep among elderly individuals who are receiving care at healthcare facilities Brain Gym Therapy a series of physical activities designed to enhance cognitive functions has been hypothesized to positively influence sleep patterns by reducing stress improving relaxation and enhancing overall mental well-being
The study will employ a randomized controlled trial design with participants being randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving Brain Gym Therapy or a control group receiving standard care without the therapy The intervention will consist of structured Brain Gym exercises conducted by trained practitioners focusing on movements that are believed to stimulate brain function and promote relaxation
Participants will be elderly individuals aged 65 and above attending healthcare facilities and experiencing issues with sleep quality Exclusion criteria will include individuals with severe cognitive impairments those currently undergoing other sleep interventions or those with contraindications to physical activity
The primary outcome measure will be the quality of sleep assessed using validated sleep questionnaires such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI alongside secondary outcomes including sleep latency duration and efficiency Data will be collected at baseline mid-intervention and post-intervention with follow-up assessments to determine the sustainability of any observed effects
The study aims to contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting non-pharmacological interventions for sleep improvement in the elderly potentially offering a viable alternative to medication for managing sleep disturbances in this population Ethical approval has been obtained and all participants will provide informed consent before participation
