Sound Healing for Anxiety: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Launched by CONSCIOUSNESS AND HEALING INITIATIVE · Oct 19, 2023

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Sound Healing for Anxiety," is exploring a new method of reducing anxiety called biofield tuning. The researchers want to see if this sound healing technique can help improve anxiety levels compared to a control group that will not receive the treatment. They will measure changes in anxiety symptoms and other emotional factors, as well as look into how these changes might relate to the participants' gut health.

To participate, you need to be at least 18 years old, have never experienced biofield tuning before, and have a certain level of anxiety as measured by a questionnaire. You should also be comfortable using a computer and online tools like Zoom. If you join the study, you will receive five sound healing sessions over a few weeks and complete some surveys and activities related to your experience. Importantly, the trial is not yet recruiting participants, so keep an eye out for updates if you're interested in joining!
