Official title
Using Aromatherapy for Comfort, Ease, and Stress for Adults Being Treated for Substance Use Disorder in North Central Appalachia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this clinical trial study is to see if Bergamot, an aroma therapy essential oil, has any effect on comfort, ease, and stress. Participants will be asked to use a bergamot aroma inhaler, which is a small tube about the size of a lipstick container, at least three times a day for one week. Comfort, ease, and stress will be measured with self-report survey at the beginning and at the end of the week. In addition, participants will be asked to complete a daily logbook to record use of the inhaler. The study lasts for one week (7 days). The aims of this study are to explore the effects of Bergamot essential oil on comfort, ease, and stress in adults in a substance use disorder (SUD) treatment program, and to evaluate the feasibility of this type of aroma therapy intervention.
