Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Acupuncture arm

One session of acupuncture with precise acupuncture points

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Acupuncture

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

one session with precise acupunture points

A digital stress scale

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The digital stress scale before and after the session: Oral digital scale. The doctor asks the participant to quantify their anxiety on a virtual scale ranging from 0 (absent anxiety) to 10 (maximum anxiety imaginable)

a relaxation questionnaire

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Global Relaxation Questionnaire after the session: Dovero Global Relaxation Scale

Bispectral Index

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

BIS is based on an EEG analysis algorithm

Sham acupuncture arm

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

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

A digital stress scale

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The digital stress scale before and after the session: Oral digital scale. The doctor asks the participant to quantify their anxiety on a virtual scale ranging from 0 (absent anxiety) to 10 (maximum anxiety imaginable)

a relaxation questionnaire

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Global Relaxation Questionnaire after the session: Dovero Global Relaxation Scale

Bispectral Index

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

BIS is based on an EEG analysis algorithm

Control arm

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

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

A digital stress scale

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The digital stress scale before and after the session: Oral digital scale. The doctor asks the participant to quantify their anxiety on a virtual scale ranging from 0 (absent anxiety) to 10 (maximum anxiety imaginable)
