Evaluating a Mat-Based Biometric Vibration System for Sleep and Daily Recovery

This study is looking at whether a low-frequency whole-body vibration mat can improve stress recovery, sleep, mood, and attention in healthy adults. You might be able to join if you are a healthy adult between 18 and 45 years old. The study aims to see if using the mat for 3 weeks increases heart rate variability (HRV), which is a way to measure your body's ability to recover from stress, and if it improves sleep, mood, perceived stress, and anxiety. Researchers will also look at how brain activity (measured with EEG) and HRV change. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 50 healthy adult male and female volunteers. It is a randomized clinical trial.
What's involved
If you participate, you would use the low-frequency whole-body vibration mat at home for 15 minutes per session, 3-4 days per week for 3 weeks, preferably in the evening.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Measurements will be taken from enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Adults 18-45 years.
Able to provide written informed consent.
Apparently healthy and free of unstable cardiovascular, neurological, or psychiatric conditions per screening.
Cleared for low-to-moderate intensity whole-body vibration delivered supine/recumbent on a mat.
Willing and able to comply with study procedures: two lab visits; 3-week home protocol (3-4 days/week); three 15-min sessions; brief affect check-ins and daily logs.
Willing to abstain from caffeine, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours before each lab visit and to attend visits at the same time of day.
Able to lie supine for 15 minutes and follow instructions for the HRV device.

Exclusion

Implanted electronic medical devices (e.g., pacemaker, neurostimulator).
Uncontrolled hypertension or severe vestibular disorders.
Current substance dependence.
Medications known to markedly affect autonomic function or sleep architecture (e.g., beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics, sedative-hypnotics, antidepressants with strong autonomic effects).
Diagnosed neurological or psychological disorders that substantially affect emotional processing or autonomic regulation (severe psychiatric conditions).
Prior extensive experience with vibration therapies (to minimize expectancy bias).
Any condition judged by study staff to contraindicate vibration exposure or preclude safe participation (including inability to tolerate supine/recumbent position).
Unwillingness to refrain from initiating new structured exercise or relaxation programs during the study period.
  • Resting EEG Spectral PowerFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks

    Eyes-closed 15-minute, supine resting EEG using a 24-channel Smarting Mobi system. Preprocessing: 0.5-30 Hz band-pass, ocular SSP, ±100 µV artifact rejection, common-average reference; clean data segmented into 10-s epochs. Outcome is band power in Theta (4-8 Hz), Alpha (8-13 Hz), Beta (13-30 Hz), averaged across all electrodes and epochs (units: power; may be log-transformed for analysis). Higher values indicate stronger oscillatory activity in each band. Primary analysis compares Post-Baseline change between groups.

  • Resting EEG Directed ConnectivityFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks

    From the same 15-minute, eyes-closed, supine EEG. Frequency-domain Granger causality computed per 10-s epoch; spectra averaged within Theta (4-8 Hz), Alpha (8-13 Hz), Beta (13-30 Hz). Connectivity summarized across all electrodes via: (a) Global directed strength (mean of all non-diagonal influences; unitless; higher = stronger overall directed connectivity); (b) Nodal inflow and outflow (sum of incoming vs. outgoing influences for each electrode; unitless; higher = stronger received/sent influence); and (c) Pairwise directed influence (value for each electrode pair; unitless). Primary analysis compares Post-Baseline change between groups, with band-specific follow-ups.

  • Resting vagally mediated HRVFrom enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 weeks

    Heart rate variability measured during a 15-minute, eyes-closed, supine rest in the lab. Inter-beat intervals captured with Optimal HRV; processed in Kubios (artifact correction; 4 Hz resampling; files with \>5% corrected beats excluded; spectral estimates with 300-s windows, 50% overlap). Outcomes reported as: * RMSSD (ms): Root mean square of successive differences. Higher = greater parasympathetic (vagal) activity. * HF power (0.15-0.40 Hz, ms²): High-frequency power. Higher = greater parasympathetic activity. Primary analysis compares change (Post - Baseline) between groups for each metric; an exploratory composite (mean of RMSSD and HF z-scores) may be reported to summarize parasympathetic tone.

  • Longitudinal HRV Response to InterventionSession days across Weeks 1-3

    RMSSD and HF recorded (i) during the 15-min home session (vibration vs quiet rest), (ii) 15 min before bedtime, and (iii) 15 min after waking. Outcomes are trajectories and group differences over time (linear mixed-effects). Benefit onset (threshold) will be explored via segmented regression/GAM change-point. Operational definition (pre-specified exploratory): first of two consecutive session-day recordings where RMSSD exceeds each participant's Baseline median by ≥0.10 log-units (\~10% increase), sustained thereafter.
