From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for healthcare workers in the Orthopedic Trauma Unit at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. It tests whether offering Cereset Research sessions to staff changes the unit's quality measures.

Age
18 to 100 years
Sex
All
Earlier treatment
People who used ECT, TMS, TDCS, alpha stimulation, EMDR, brain spotting, neurofeedback, biofeedback or DBS within one month before joining cannot join. They can stop these for one month and then join.

  • Severe hearing loss, because the sessions use sounds people must hear
  • Weight over the chair limit of 400 pounds (181 kg)
  • Known seizure disorder
