NCT05970276

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the ability of non-invasive brain stimulation during sleep to enhance people's deep sleep and its potential benefit on memory in healthy adults via home use sleep therapy device (SleepWISP). Participants will be asked to wear non-invasive and painless devices that record their brain activity during sleep. The clinical trial aims to answer the following main questions:

  1. 1.Whether the non-invasive transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) delivered by SleepWISP could provide short-term enhancement of deep sleep in a single night in the target population.
  2. 2.Whether TES delivered by SleepWISP could improve sleep quality.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Nocturnal duration of deep sleep assessed in minutes

    Duration in minutes of N3 sleep

    Measured during the nights of sleep (typically 8 hours) for up to three nights.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Nocturnal sleep quality assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    Measured after each night of sleep in the following morning for up to three nights.

Study Arms (1)

Deep Sleep Enhancement with TES

EXPERIMENTAL

Transcranial Electrical Stimulation, 0.5 Hz sine wave, 0.5 mA, between frontal (frontopolar and inferior lateral frontal) and posterior (mastoid and occipital) electrodes.

Device: Deep Sleep (N3) Enhancement with TES

Interventions

As participants sleep, their sleep EEG will be measured and automatically scored by the computer to determine stage of sleep. When slow wave sleep is detected, low-level current (.5-1 mA total) will be applied through pre-set electrodes.

Also known as: SleepWISP TES
Deep Sleep Enhancement with TES
