Inulin-Spirulina Co-intervention for Insomnia Disorder

Sponsor: First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if inulin and spirulina, used alone or in combination, can improve insomnia disorder in adults aged 18 to 60 years with chronic insomnia disorder. It will also learn about the safety of these interventions. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does inulin plus spirulina improve sleep quality, as measured by the reduction rate in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score? Does the intervention improve sleep-related, mood, anxiety, and cognitive outcomes after 12 weeks? Researchers will compare an inulin group, a spirulina group, a combined inulin plus spirulina group, and a placebo group to see if the combined intervention provides greater benefit than either single intervention or placebo. Participants will: be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups: inulin, spirulina, inulin plus spirulina, or placebo; take the assigned study product once daily for 12 weeks; complete sleep, mood, anxiety, and cognitive assessments at baseline and week 12; undergo polysomnography and provide blood and stool samples at baseline and week 12; and be monitored for adverse events throughout the study.
