Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Chronic anxiety affects one-third of US adults, with a 6% increase from 2023 to 2024.
  • Standard treatments like psychopharmacology and psychotherapy are not always successful.
  • Nonadherence and misuse of anxiolytics are common challenges in mental health treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a Haptic Vibrotactile Technology (VTT) patch as an alternative or adjunctive treatment for anxiety.
  • To assess the impact of VTT on perceived stress and overall mental health.

Main Methods:

  • A single-blinded, case-control study involving 102 adult participants.
  • Participants were divided into a treatment group (65) and a control group (37).
  • Anxiety levels were measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Short Form-20 (SF-20) at baseline, Day 7, and Day 14.

Main Results:

  • The treatment group showed a 31.3% greater improvement in PSS scores compared to the control group at Day 14.
  • Mean PSS scores decreased by 33% in the treatment group, indicating significant stress reduction.
  • The treatment group reported high satisfaction (>90%) and willingness to recommend the VTT patch.

Conclusions:

  • The VTT patch (PEACE Patch) demonstrated effectiveness in reducing anxiety symptoms.
  • VTT may offer a viable, safe, "drug-free" treatment option for chronic anxiety.
  • Further research is recommended to explore effectiveness across different adult demographics and in specific neurological conditions.
