Gentle rocking during sleep for memory and learning
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether sleeping on a gentle rocking bed, which stimulates the balance system, can help improve memory and learning in patients undergoing neurological rehabilitation. If you are already working on memory or learning in your rehab, this study might offer a simple way to boost those gains.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and are receiving neurorehabilitation care with a focus on memory or learning.
- You do not have a disorder of the inner ear or balance system, and you are not very prone to motion sickness.
- You can get in and out of the rocking bed without more than one person helping you, to avoid fall risk.
- You do not have an infection that would require special sanitization of the bed equipment.
- You plan to stay at the clinic for at least 4 weeks.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are willing to participate.

This study tests a special bed (Somnomat Casa) to help improve sleep in people with Parkinson's disease. It looks at whether the bed is comfortable and acceptable to use.
This trial tests whether playing soft sounds during sleep can boost the effects of a computer-based brain training program in people with Parkinson's disease who have mild memory or thinking issues. If you qualify, you'll use a headband that plays tones while you sleep and do brain exercises for several weeks.
This study tests whether playing a soft, silent sound (or no sound) during deep sleep can improve memory, brain activity, and blood markers. It is for older adults (60-85) who have mild memory issues but are otherwise healthy.
This study tests whether improving sleep and increasing exercise can help people with mild memory changes. You'll wear a Fitbit and a sleep headband and use a stationary bike.
This trial tests a device called SAM that helps people move from lying down to sitting up in bed. It aims to see if the device improves independence for patients who currently need help from others or equipment.
This study tests whether stimulating the brain during sleep can help clear waste proteins, like amyloid, that build up in the brain and are linked to memory problems. If you have early memory issues or are a healthy adult, you may be able to participate.
