Rapid Effects of a Biofield Patch on Antioxidant Status and Cellular Energy
What this study is about
The goal for this clinical proof-of-concept study is to compare an active biofield skin patch to a placebo patch on antioxidant function and mitochondrial function. A where neither patients nor doctors know which treatment is given, compared against an inactive treatment cross-over study design will be used.
View original scientific description
The goal for this clinical proof-of-concept study is to compare an active biofield skin patch to a placebo patch on antioxidant function and mitochondrial function. A double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study design will be used.
Interventions
OTHER
Active dermal patch
Non-transdermal patch
OTHER
Placebo dermal patch
Non-transdermal patch
Primary outcome measures
Antioxidant protection
Time frame: Baseline, 1 hour, and 2 hours after applying a patch.
Data will be collected on intracellular levels of reduced glutathione and serum superoxide dismutase activity.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
