(Davidson JR, 2002) (Savard J, 2001). Unfortunately, this issue is often not recognized and is not adequately addressed in common clinical practice (Zhou ES, 2017). Emotional distress, stress after surgery, and side effects of cancer treatments, particularly those related to hormone therapy, all contribute to the onset of insomnia, which, in turn, can contribute to a poor quality of life, to greater fatigue in carrying out daily life activities, to worsening physical and emotional discomfort (Kyle SD, 2010) (Bolge SC, 2009) (Sarsour K, 2011).\n\nTo date, insomnia in common clinical practice is an often overlooked problem. Patients report that healthcare providers rarely pay attention to sleep disorders and even if they are evaluated, treatment recommendations tend to focus primarily on prescribing medications (Siefert ML, 2014).\n\nGemmotherapy is a young branch of phytotherapy developed in the second half of the last century. This branch bases its principles on the therapeutic potential of the meristematic tissues of plants and uses products called glycerine macerates (GM) obtained according to the method of cold maceration of meristematic tissues in water, alcohol and glycerol created by Dr. Pol Henry in the last century or according to the Pharmacopoeias.\n\nThe use of concentrated GM (C-GM) has spread (Andrianne, 2008 and 2012). These C-MGs are approximately 10 times more concentrated than traditional GMs, and are therefore traditionally used at lower doses (adults: approximately 5-15 gtt/day) than those used for diluted extracts (adults: up to 1 gtt/kg/day ).\n\nTilia tomentosa, whose fresh buds are used, is traditionally indicated in all cases of insomnia in adults and children. Its action is carried out by inducing sleep and increasing its duration. In phytotherapy it is recommended in neuroses but also as an antispasmodic, in heart palpitations and in spasmophilia. No type of acute or chronic toxicity is known for this C-GM.\n\nIn the proposed study we want to evaluate the action of C-GM from Tilia tomentosa, extracted according to the Pharmacopoeias, for the treatment of insomnia in patients with breast cancer on hormone therapy.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients capable of giving informed consent\n* Patients undergoing surgery to remove breast tumors and undergoing hormone therapy (any stage)\n* Patients who present a score \\> 5 on the "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)" questionnaire on sleep quality\n* Patients aged between 18 and 65 years\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Children under 18 and people over 65\n* Pregnant or breastfeeding women\n* Patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy\n* Serious concomitant diseases (other neoplasms, liver failure, renal failure, and hyperthyroidism, ulcerative colitis, Crohn\'s disease)\n* Patients being treated with antibiotics in the month preceding screening\n* Patients being treated with drugs that alter the sleep-wake rhythm (anxiolytics, hypnotics, non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, major sedatives, antipsychotics, antiepileptics, opiates)\n* Known hypersensitivity to Tilia tomentosa'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06061666', 'briefTitle': 'Treatment of Insomnia in Patients With Breast Cancer', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS'}, 'officialTitle': 'TILIA for inSomnia During HOrmonal Therapy in Breast Cancer Survivors', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '5175'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Treated group', 'description': 'Group treated with MG-C of Tilia tomentosa', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Tilia tomentosa Concentrated - Glycerine macerate (C-GM) vs Placebo (1 gtt/10 kg/day before bedtime for 15 days)']}, {'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Placebo Group', 'description': 'Group treated with placebo', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Tilia tomentosa Concentrated - Glycerine macerate (C-GM) vs Placebo (1 gtt/10 kg/day before bedtime for 15 days)']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Tilia tomentosa Concentrated - Glycerine macerate (C-GM) vs Placebo (1 gtt/10 kg/day before bedtime for 15 days)', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Self-administration of the food supplement or placebo (1 gtt/10 kg/day before bedtime for 15 days)', 'armGroupLabels': ['Placebo Group', 'Treated group']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '00168', 'city': 'Rome', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Italy', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Sanguinetti', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'maurizio.sanguinetti@policlinicogemelli.it', 'phone': '+390630159448'}], 'facility': 'Dipartimento di Scienze di Laboratorio e Infettivologiche', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 41.89193, 'lon': 12.51133}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Di Vito', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'maura.divito@unicatt.it', 'phone': '3925476062'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
