NightWare device for heart health in women with PTSD
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a watch-like device called NightWare that helps reduce nightmares in women with PTSD to see if it also improves heart health. Participants will use the device at night, and researchers will check blood vessel function and other heart-related measures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman (studies are for women with and without PTSD).
- If you have PTSD, you must have experienced trauma, have nightmares that bother you, and have poor sleep quality.
- You are generally healthy — no unstable medical conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure, active heart disease, or cancer.
- You are not taking certain medications (like blood pressure, cholesterol, or weight-loss drugs) and are willing to stop vitamins or supplements 2 weeks before the study.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or less than 12 months after giving birth.
- You have access to wireless internet and two power outlets near your bed (needed for the device).

This study tests a smartwatch app called NightWare that may reduce nightmares and improve sleep in veterans with PTSD. It could also help heart health by improving sleep quality.
This study tests a new approach to help military members and veterans with insomnia and nightmares by targeting the body's 'fight-or-flight' response. The treatment is designed to improve sleep and reduce nightmares.
This study tests how well blood vessels work in women with PTSD by measuring nitric oxide levels. It may help understand why PTSD affects heart health and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how the body’s stress system works in veterans with PTSD compared with veterans without PTSD. You may be asked about blood pressure, lifestyle, and health conditions to see whether the study measures differences that could help future treatment.
This study tests a treatment plan for insomnia (trouble sleeping) in older adults who also have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal is to see whether improving sleep also supports heart and metabolic health (such as blood sugar and heart-related measures).
This study tests whether a procedure called a stellate ganglion block (an injection near nerves in the neck) can improve sleep and reduce stress in people with PTSD. You would wear a smart ring or watch for a few weeks so researchers can track your sleep and stress levels.
