Nerve stimulation for insomnia in childhood leukemia survivors
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
