NCT05544500 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 36

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Previous research suggests that chewing gum may influence several functions including attention and alertness. Gum can also be used as a vehicle for delivering ingredients that have the ability to modulate attention and mood. This study will explore the effects of a functional gum containing a proprietary composition of a herbal extract and vitamins. These effects will be compared to the effects of a basic sugar-free gum and to a tablet which will include the same ingredients as the basic sugar-free gum. Effects will be explored on computerised measures of attention/concentration and via ratings of current mood. The study will assess the immediate effects of chewing gum as well as the effects 1 hour later.

There will be an initial remote screening session followed by visits to the laboratory on 4 separate occasions: an introductory/training visit and three active study days.
