Abstract

Sleep is a vital physiological process essential for human health, and its deprivation can lead to various problems that negatively impact quality of life. Stress is known to worsen sleep quality. The NESA (Spanish acronym for Neuromodulación Superficial Aplicada) Non-Invasive Neuromodulation is an innovative treatment using microcurrents designed to address autonomic regulation and sleep disorders with a superficial electrotherapy treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of NESA in improving the sleep quality of patients with sleep disturbances. A prospective observational case series design was used. The treatment comprised ten 60-minute sessions, administered over a period of five weeks, with patients attending twice a week. Nine patients participated in the study. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), daytime sleepiness was evaluated with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and stress levels were quantified using the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ). Significant improvements were observed in PSQI and PSQ scores (p=0.002 and p
