Exercise and Sleep in PLMS: A Wearable Device Study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a single session of exercise can improve sleep in people with periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS). It uses a smartwatch and ring to track sleep patterns and compares results to a control group without PLMS.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years old or older.
- You typically sleep at least 5 hours each night.
- You have a sleep study showing a PLMS index of 15 or higher (a measure of leg movements during sleep).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have any skin conditions, tattoos, or devices on your wrist or fingers that would interfere with a smartwatch or smart ring.
- You are not taking any medications for sleep disorders and have not had treatment for PLMS before.

This trial tests a smartwatch tool to track heart rhythm and detect problems in people with heart disease. It may help find irregular heartbeats early during routine checkups.
This study checks whether wearable sensors (like a sleep band and a wearable EEG) and a phone can accurately identify your sleep stages. It includes healthy people and people with sleep problems to see how well the devices work and whether results match a standard sleep lab test.
This study tests a new wearable device (WP) against standard sleep testing (PSG) for people with suspected sleep problems. It may help diagnose issues like sleep apnea more comfortably.
This study tests a new wearable CPAP device for people with obstructive sleep apnea. It compares the device used with a mask system to standard treatment. You may be a good fit if you already use a ResMed AirFit N20 Medium mask and an APAP machine.
This study tests a combination of a wearable smart watch, brain-wave monitor (EEG), and smartphone app designed to help understand your sleep problems and emotions. The goal is to develop a digital tool that tracks your sleep patterns and mood to improve insomnia treatment.
This study tests a new wearable device (Wesper Lab) that uses patches and a pulse oximeter to measure sleep apnea during a standard overnight sleep study. The goal is to see how well it detects both obstructive and central sleep apnea compared to the usual test.
