Black Seed Sleep Quality Randomized TrialStaff from a UK higher education institution ( n = 28) with short sleep duration (<7 h) and elevated cardiometabolic risk were randomised to SEI or SI.2Du Preez A (2026)Randomised feasibility trial of a remotely delivered holistic UK employee programme combining tailored sleep hygiene, diet, and physical activity counselling for weight management: a mixed-methods evaluation.
Black Seed Sleep Quality Randomized TrialWorkplaces offer a key setting for health improvement interventions, given their reach and potential to promote lasting behaviour change.2Du Preez A (2026)Randomised feasibility trial of a remotely delivered holistic UK employee programme combining tailored sleep hygiene, diet, and physical activity counselling for weight management: a mixed-methods evaluation.
Black Seed Sleep Quality Randomized TrialWhile diet and physical activity (PA) are common targets, sleep remains an underexplored yet influential factor in employee health.2Du Preez A (2026)Randomised feasibility trial of a remotely delivered holistic UK employee programme combining tailored sleep hygiene, diet, and physical activity counselling for weight management: a mixed-methods evaluation.
Black Seed Sleep Quality Randomized TrialAcupoint application, a traditional external therapy in TCM, has shown promising results in the management of PHN (), including pain relief, improved sleep quality, and enhanced quality of life.2Zhu Shizhuang (2026)A randomized controlled trial of acupoint application for postherpetic neuralgia
Black Seed Sleep Quality Randomized TrialHowever, the available evidence is weakened by significant methodological limitations, as most trials were non-randomized, non-blinded, lacked placebo controls, and were restricted to single-center settings (,).2Zhu Shizhuang (2026)A randomized controlled trial of acupoint application for postherpetic neuralgia
Black Seed Sleep Quality Randomized TrialNegative values indicate that the sleep quality of the treatment group improved more significantly.2Zhu Shizhuang (2026)A randomized controlled trial of acupoint application for postherpetic neuralgia
