Brain stimulation for anxiety and insomnia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tACS) can help people who have both generalized anxiety and long-term sleep problems. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- A doctor has diagnosed you with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (chronic anxiety).
- You also have ongoing sleep problems (chronic insomnia).
- Your anxiety should be at least moderate, as judged by a standard questionnaire.
- You can be on stable doses of antidepressants (like SSRIs or SNRIs) or limited benzodiazepines.

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help people with both anxiety and insomnia. Treatments target a specific brain region to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical currents to help people with depression or anxiety who haven't fully responded to medication. It may offer a new treatment option without the side effects of drugs.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called cTBS, guided by MRI brain imaging) to treat generalized anxiety disorder. Researchers hope it may reduce anxiety symptoms when combined with standard anxiety treatment.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive technique that uses gentle electrical pulses to target brain areas involved in sleep. It aims to improve sleep quality in adults with long-term insomnia, with sessions over two weeks and follow-up for one month.
This study combines a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (alternating electrical currents applied to your scalp) with mindfulness therapy to treat generalized anxiety disorder. The goal is to see if this combination helps reduce anxiety symptoms more effectively than therapy alone.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called high-definition transcranial electrical stimulation (HD-tES) to see if it can help people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). If you have GAD and have been stable on your current treatment, this study may be a good fit for you.
