Non-invasive Nerve Stimulation for PTSD and Sleep
This study is looking at how a non-invasive nerve stimulation device, called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, might help improve sleep for veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or a history of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The goal is to see if this stimulation can change the quality of your sleep, measured over up to 8 hours. You might be able to join if you are a veteran between 18 and 55 years old with PTSD, with or without a history of mild TBI. However, you cannot participate if you have severe psychiatric illness not related to PTSD or TBI, other serious medical conditions that affect thinking, current drug abuse, or a breathing disorder requiring constant oxygen. The study aims to enroll 221 participants, but its current status is unclear.
