Magnetic brain stimulation to improve sleep after lung surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Are between 18 and 80 years old
- Have been diagnosed with primary lung cancer and are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) keyhole lung removal surgery
- Are experiencing poor sleep – for example, trouble falling or staying asleep, or waking up too early
- Do not have a history of seizures, epilepsy, or recent serious brain conditions
- Do not have metal or electronic implants in the head or neck that could interfere with the treatment

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 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 trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
This study tests whether magnetic brain stimulation before and after surgery can help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems recover their thinking abilities faster. You would receive either real or sham stimulation for a few days around your surgery.
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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve sleep in people with moderate to severe insomnia. You would come to the University of Arizona for several sessions, and the treatment is painless and doesn't require surgery.
