NCT05108961

Brief Summary

To be able to have data on brain activity during an acupuncture session, this pilot study is necessary to evaluate the kinetics of the bispectral index. This research aims to evaluate the kinetics of the bispectral index in healthy volunteers during an acupuncture session, Sham acupuncture or resting in a lying position.

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Bispectral Index

    Bispectral Index (BIS) measured every second for 35 min through an EEG

    35 minutes

Study Arms (3)

Acupuncture arm

EXPERIMENTAL

One session of acupuncture with precise acupuncture points

Procedure: AcupunctureBehavioral: A digital stress scaleBehavioral: a relaxation questionnaireDiagnostic Test: Bispectral Index

Sham acupuncture arm

SHAM COMPARATOR

One session of sham acupunture (needles inserted 1 mm, outside the acupuncture points)

Behavioral: A digital stress scaleBehavioral: a relaxation questionnaireDiagnostic Test: Bispectral Index

Control arm

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

One session where no needles are inserted, the subject lies down under the same conditions as group 1 and 2

Behavioral: A digital stress scaleBehavioral: a relaxation questionnaireDiagnostic Test: Bispectral Index

Interventions
