Summary
Participants identified as having primary insomnia will be randomly assigned to groups receiving microcurrent stimulation or sham in a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The microcurrent device used is FDA approved for the treatment of insomnia. The hypothesis is that the experimental group will have significantly improved scores on three sleep surveys after treatment while the sham group will not.
