Studying sleep recovery in adults with neurodegeneration
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep “recovery” works in people with neurodegenerative diseases (conditions where abnormal proteins build up). It uses sleep recordings and sounds during sleep to see how sleep patterns relate to outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a confirmed neurodegenerative disease, or you’re in generally good health with such a diagnosis
- You can wear and use an at-home (ambulant) EEG sleep device for the study time, with help if needed
- You can follow study steps, understand instructions, and give informed consent
- You do not have major hearing problems for the sleep sounds used in the study
- You have no face/ear skin issues or allergies that would be made worse by attaching electrodes

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether improving or tracking sleep changes how the brain “clears” waste. It may help researchers understand sleep’s role in brain health and how to support it.
This trial tests whether playing soft sounds during sleep can boost the effects of a computer-based brain training program in people with Parkinson's disease who have mild memory or thinking issues. If you qualify, you'll use a headband that plays tones while you sleep and do brain exercises for several weeks.
This study tests whether playing a soft, silent sound (or no sound) during deep sleep can improve memory, brain activity, and blood markers. It is for older adults (60-85) who have mild memory issues but are otherwise healthy.
This study tests whether playing sounds during sleep can help understand and reduce episodes of sleepwalking, sleep terrors, and confusional arousals. It may help people who experience these episodes.
This study tests if a special sound played during sleep can help the brain clear waste. It may help people with early memory concerns or healthy volunteers.
This trial studies whether carefully timed sound (“auditory stimulation”) can change sleep patterns and memory in people with epilepsy. It may help researchers understand how to improve thinking and memory by adjusting how the brain sleeps.
