This study tests a wearable device that tracks brain activity during sleep and plays soft sounds to see how they affect sleep quality. You would use the device at home for several nights and answer questions on your phone, helping us learn if this approach can improve sleep in healthy people.
This study tests how comfortable a noninvasive brain stimulation method (putting small electrodes on the head) feels during sleep. It’s looking for healthy adults who fit specific sleep and health limits so results can be compared cleanly.
This study tests whether a home sleep therapy program can improve symptoms in older adults who have amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or help compare to people without MCI. It may be useful if your main issue is memory or thinking changes and you also have sleep problems.
This study tests whether a small device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear can improve sleep and help you feel better in school. You would use the device at home for a few weeks and track your sleep and mood.
This trial tests if mild electrical nerve stimulation during sleep can help strengthen memory. It is for healthy young adults who are right-handed and have good sleep quality.
This trial tests a treatment using gentle electrical stimulation on the ear to see if it helps people who have both functional dyspepsia (stomach discomfort) and trouble sleeping. It aims to improve both symptoms and understand how the treatment works.
