Brain stimulation trial for people with narcolepsy type 1
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference to target the hypothalamus. It aims to help reduce excessive daytime sleepiness in people with narcolepsy type 1.

This study tests a new medication called TAK-360 to help adults with narcolepsy type 1 (a condition that causes extreme daytime sleepiness and sudden muscle weakness called cataplexy) feel more alert during the day. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for managing narcolepsy symptoms.
This study tests a new medication, ALKS 2680, to see if it helps reduce daytime sleepiness and other symptoms in adults with narcolepsy type 1. It may offer a new treatment option for people with this condition.
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 trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation that uses a weak electrical field to gently influence brain activity. It is designed for healthy adults to see if the procedure is safe and comfortable, and to gather information that could help develop future treatments for mental health conditions.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the head can help improve sleep in people with insomnia. It involves wearing a device during sessions and completing questionnaires about your sleep and mood.
