Sound study for sleepwalking and related sleep disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing sounds during sleep can help understand and reduce episodes of sleepwalking, sleep terrors, and confusional arousals. It may help people who experience these episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 6 and 17 years old, or between 18 and 60 years old
- You have been diagnosed with sleepwalking, sleep terrors, or confusional arousals, or you are a healthy volunteer matched by age and sex
- For patients: you have had at least one episode in the past month (children) or past 6 months (adults)
- You can understand and complete study materials in Italian

This study tests an online course for adults who have parasomnias (disruptive sleep behaviors like sleepwalking or night terrors). The goal is to see if the course helps manage symptoms. You may be a good fit if your doctor referred you and you have had parasomnia for at least 6 months.
This study looks at how sleep “recovery” works in people with neurodegenerative diseases (conditions where abnormal proteins build up). It uses sleep recordings and sounds during sleep to see how sleep patterns relate to outcomes.
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 playing soft sounds during deep sleep can slow down brain changes in people with REM sleep behavior disorder (a condition linked to Parkinson's disease). It is for people who have this sleep disorder or were recently diagnosed with Parkinson's, and are not yet on Parkinson's medications.
This study looks at whether improving or tracking sleep changes how the brain “clears” waste. It may help researchers understand sleep’s role in brain health and how to support it.
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.
