A Head Device for Improving Sleep in Adults with Insomnia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a head-worn device that sends gentle electrical signals to the brain to help improve sleep in people with moderate to severe insomnia. If you qualify, you'll use the device at home for about 40 minutes a day, five days a week, for a total of four weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
