Improving sleep with nerve stimulation for visually impaired people
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve behind the ear to see if it helps improve sleep in people who are severely sight impaired or blind. You would need to visit the clinic for 30-minute sessions, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks.

This study tests if using a small, battery-powered device on your ear (like a clip) for 20 minutes a day can improve sleep and help you feel more focused and less stressed as a health-science student. You would use it at home and answer questionnaires about your sleep and daily life.
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 study tests a small, wearable device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear (called the vagus nerve) to help with insomnia. It's designed for adult survivors of childhood leukemia who still have trouble sleeping.
This study uses a gentle electrical device placed on the ear to stimulate a nerve (vagus nerve) and see how it affects sleep in healthy people. It aims to understand if this non-invasive method can improve sleep.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation device for people with moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing who cannot use or tolerate standard treatments. It may help you breathe better during sleep.
This trial tests a new nerve-stimulation therapy called Neuromod to treat moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in people who do not have access to other treatments. If you qualify, you would be part of a study to see if this implant helps improve your breathing during sleep.
