Thalamic stimulation's effect on sleep brain waves
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies how electrical stimulation in a deep brain area called the thalamus affects sleep brain waves. It may help people who already need brain recordings for medical reasons.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must already be scheduled to have electrodes placed in your thalamus for clinical reasons.
- You should not have had major brain surgery or significant brain tissue loss.

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 research study tests a new method that uses magnetic pulses and brain-wave recordings to detect consciousness during sleep. Researchers want to validate this technology in healthy adults to see if it accurately measures brain activity.
This trial studies whether carefully timed sound (“auditory stimulation”) can change sleep patterns and memory in people with epilepsy. It may help researchers understand how to improve thinking and memory by adjusting how the brain sleeps.
This study tests a new type of gentle brain stimulation during sleep to see how it affects brain activity. If you are a healthy adult without certain medical conditions, you may help researchers understand how this stimulation works.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the head can help improve sleep in people with insomnia. It involves wearing a device during sessions and completing questionnaires about your sleep and mood.
This study compares two ways of measuring brain activity—MRI-based brain mapping and electrical brain testing—during deep brain stimulation. It may help doctors better target stimulation to improve symptoms like movement problems or long-lasting pain.
