Enhancing Sleep Quality: The Impact of the “Repose Tao” Pillow with Taopatch® Nanotechnology

Background. Sleep disorders are a group of conditions that disrupt normal sleep patterns and are among the most common clinical challenges faced today. An innovative device that employs nanotechnology to deliver beneficial effects on the human body is the **Taopatch®** (Tao Technologies, Italy). This study aims to assess the effectiveness of such nanotechnology-based devices in improving sleep quality. Methods. This study included only female participants, as a review of the literature indicated that sleep disorders are more prevalent in women than in men. A total of 30 subjects (mean age 44.8 ± 3.44 years) were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. Sleep quality was evaluated three times throughout the study for each participant using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The Taopatch® devices were applied using a specialized pillow. Results. The experimental group showed significant improvement (p < .001) across various key dimensions of sleep quality, compared to the control group. Conclusions. Our findings suggest that the application of Taopatch® has a positive impact on sleep quality by optimizing posture, aligning the cervical spine, and promoting muscle relaxation. This device uses advanced nanotechnology to enhance various physiological functions, contributing to better overall well-being.
