Brain Stimulation for Sleep Problems in Nerve Disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called Hi-tACS to improve sleep in people with specific nerve/immune diseases (like MS or NMOSD) or chronic insomnia who have not responded to sleep medications. The goal is to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, and feel less tired during the day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–65 years old
- Diagnosed with either a nerve/immune disease (MS, NMOSD) or chronic primary insomnia
- Sleep problems at least 3 nights per week for more than 3 months (trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early)
- Significant daytime tiredness or difficulty functioning due to poor sleep
- Not taken sleep medications for at least 4 months before starting
- Willing to avoid all other sleep treatments during the study period

This trial tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial alternating current) to standard cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) improves sleep in people with long-term insomnia. It aims to find a better treatment option for those who haven't responded to other therapies.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can improve thinking and memory problems in people with inflammatory brain diseases like MS or NMOSD. It may help if you feel your thinking has slowed down.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called high-intensity transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for people with high blood pressure. It aims to see if this treatment can help lower blood pressure and may offer a new option for managing hypertension.
This trial tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) to improve sleep in adults with insomnia. It may help if you have trouble sleeping and haven't tried certain other treatments.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses weak electrical currents to target areas of the brain involved in sleep. If you have chronic insomnia, this might be a drug-free option to help improve your sleep.
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.
