Transcranial magnetic stimulation for insomnia with memory complaints
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), can improve sleep in people who have insomnia and also feel like their memory or thinking is slipping. If you take sleep medication and notice memory issues, this trial might help you find a new option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method (TMS) combined with cognitive training can improve sleep in older adults with mild memory issues. It may help if you have trouble falling or staying asleep and have early memory changes.
This study tests whether accelerated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can improve sleep architecture and quality in people with chronic insomnia. The treatment may help you fall asleep faster and sleep longer without medication.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve sleep in people with moderate to severe insomnia. You would come to the University of Arizona for several sessions, and the treatment is painless and doesn't require surgery.
This study tests whether giving a specific type of brain stimulation (rTMS) at the right time can help make insomnia treatment work better. It may be an option for people ages 25 to 45 who have trouble sleeping and live near Stanford University.
This trial tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) to improve sleep in adults with insomnia. It may help if you have trouble sleeping and haven't tried certain other treatments.
