Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: Triple Blind

---

166 participants in 2 patient groups

Sana Device

Active Comparator group

Description:

The Sana Device is an externally worn mask that physically contacts the skin of the face. The Sana Device delivers Audio Visual Stimulation (AVS) in the form of coordinated pulses of light (through closed eyelids) and sound at various frequencies.

Treatment:

Device: Sana Sham Device

Sana Sham Device

Sham Comparator group

Description:

The sham treatment device is designed to copy the look and feel of the Sana therapy to a degree that it would be indistinguishable from the true treatment. The sham treatment delivers a series of Audio-Visual Stimulation (AVS) in the form of pulses of light (through closed eyelids) and sound, but that offer no therapeutic effect.
