Low-frequency brain stimulation for sleep problems after lung transplant
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can improve sleep for people who have just had a lung transplant and are still in the hospital. If you are having trouble sleeping after your transplant, this treatment might help you rest better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have had your first lung transplant (single or double).
- You are 7 to 21 days after your surgery, and you have been off the breathing tube for at least 48 hours.
- You are not currently on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO) or medications to support your blood pressure.
- You are awake, alert, and able to answer questions about your sleep.
- You have been having trouble sleeping, as shown by a sleep questionnaire.
- You are expected to stay in the hospital for at least 10 more days.

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help improve sleep for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are in the hospital. It aims to see if this treatment can improve sleep quality without using extra medications.
This study tests whether a gentle magnetic brain stimulation treatment (called low-frequency rTMS) can help people sleep better after lung cancer surgery. The treatment is given before and after your operation, and aims to improve your sleep without using extra medications.
This study tests whether giving a specific type of brain stimulation (rTMS) at the right time can help make insomnia treatment work better. It may be an option for people ages 25 to 45 who have trouble sleeping and live near Stanford University.
This study tests whether accelerated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can improve sleep architecture and quality in people with chronic insomnia. The treatment may help you fall asleep faster and sleep longer without medication.
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 whether a non-surgical brain stimulation method (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can improve sleep in people with primary insomnia. You may qualify if your sleep and sleepiness questionnaires show a pattern of insomnia, and if you can safely have MRI/TMS.
