Why the study?
Can wearable headband EEG and PPG detect differences in cortical and physiological arousal during sleep between individuals with stress-related mental disorders and healthy controls?
Population
83 participants, comprising healthy individuals and patients with a confirmed stress-related mental disorder.
Comparison
Wearable headband electroencephalography and… vs Healthy participants.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
multiple nights (371 nights analyzed)
Key result
Wearable headband EEG and PPG revealed that patients with stress-related mental disorders had higher pre-sleep heart rates than controls, but similar macrostructural and spectral sleep markers.

Blaskovich et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Stress-related mental disorders (n=83). Stress-related mental disorder vs. Healthy participants was evaluated on Macrostructural, microstructural (spectral slope fitting), and heart rate variables. Wearable headband EEG and PPG revealed that patients with stress-related mental disorders had higher pre-sleep heart rates than controls, but similar macrostructural and spectral sleep markers.
