Brief Summary

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

Sleep disorders and anxiety are complicated disorders affecting population especially elderly population, therefore treating these disorders will have positive impact on population production and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Alternating current cranial stimulation will improve brain waves frequency so that will have positive effect on sleep disorders and anxiety on elderly population.
