The goal of this observational study is to learn how the Temple Massager System affects stress, emotional wellbeing, sleep, and quality of life in women aged 35 to 65.
The Temple Massager System is a non-electric, drug-free hand-held device used for self-massage of the temple area. The system also includes a body lotion and an optional lavender aromatherapy. It is sold as a general wellness product.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Does daily use of the Temple Massager System lower self-reported stress and improve emotional wellbeing over 4 weeks? Does daily use improve self-reported sleep quality and overall quality of life?
This is a single-arm observational study. There is no placebo or comparison group. Researchers will compare how participants feel before they start using the device to how they feel after 4 weeks of daily use.
Participants will:
Receive a Temple Massager System at no cost Complete a 1-week baseline period before using the device Use the device once a day for at least 5 minutes for 4 weeks Answer short daily questions about device use, headaches, and over-the-counter medication use Complete weekly check-in surveys about stress, mood, and sleep Complete longer surveys at the start and end of the study Keep the device after the study ends
The study runs for 5 weeks per participant and takes place entirely from home through a secure app-based platform. No clinic visits are required.
