After the study’s participants completed a two-week dream and sleep diary, the volunteers were given one session of IRT. At this point, half of the group underwent a TMR session, creating a link between the positive version of their nightmare and the sound.
The other half served as a control group, imagining a less horrific version of a nightmare without being exposed to positive sounds.
Both groups received a sleep headphone headband that would play the sound, the piano chord C69, while they were sleeping, every 10 seconds during REM sleep when nightmares were most likely to occur.
The groups were evaluated after two weeks of additional diary entries, and then again after three months without any sort of treatment.
At the start of the study, the control group had, on average, 2.58 nightmares per week, and the TMR group had an average of 2.94 weekly nightmares.
By the end of the study, the control group was down to 1.02 weekly nightmares, while the TMR group had dropped to just 0.19. Even more promising, the TMR group reported an increase in happy dreams.
