Overview

Randomized trial evaluates lemongrass inhaler to improve sleep quality in smokers, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a lemongrass aromatherapy inhaler in enhancing sleep quality and reducing nicotine dependence among smokers.
  • Randomized, placebo-controlled, pretest–posttest trial with 100 smokers aged 18–30 with poor sleep quality and moderate to high nicotine dependence.
  • Intervention group received a 3% lemongrass essential oil inhaler; control group received sunflower oil, both administered four times daily for 60 days.
  • Sleep quality and nicotine dependence were measured pre- and postintervention using PSQI and FTND assessments.
  • Significant improvement in sleep quality in the intervention group (PSQI: 7.84 to 4.42) compared to controls (7.68 to 7.54; p < 0.001).
  • Nicotine dependence decreased in the intervention group (FTND: 7.36 to 5.02), showing statistical significance compared to the control group (p < 0.001).
  • Path analysis indicated a direct effect of the intervention on post-intervention PSQI scores.
