Low-frequency brain stimulation for sleep problems in advanced lung cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (stage IIIB or higher) that cannot be removed with surgery, or it has come back after treatment.
- You are currently receiving cancer treatment (like chemotherapy or immunotherapy) or supportive care in the hospital.
- You have been having trouble sleeping, based on a sleep questionnaire.
- You are well enough to be up and about (performance status 0-2) and expected to live at least 3 more months.
- You will stay in the hospital for at least 10 more days and can complete the study procedures.

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 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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), can improve sleep in people who have insomnia and also feel like their memory or thinking is slipping. If you take sleep medication and notice memory issues, this trial might help you find a new option.
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 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 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.
