PTSD | Device: non-invasive nerve stimulation | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 104 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Crossover Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | The study is a cross-over design comparing two stimulation locations. The order of stimulation is randomly assigned. |
Masking: | Triple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator) |
Masking Description: | The investigators are using a blinding box with a code entry system that determines which stimulation location is used. The study coordinator/care providers will know the code, but not the stimulation location. Participants will know the stimulation location (they can feel it) but not which location is the investigators' hypothesized actor (i.e., they don't which is sham and which is target). The investigators will not know which is which until the data are in analyzable form. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation Improvement of Sleep Quality in Veterans With PTSD With or Without History of Mild TBI |
Actual Study Start Date : | January 30, 2020 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | September 30, 2023 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | September 30, 2023 |

Official Title ICMJE | Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation Improvement of Sleep Quality in Veterans With PTSD With or Without History of Mild TBI | ||||||||
Brief Summary | People often have difficulty sleeping. Reasons are many. But, difficulty falling and staying asleep are common issues. Sleep difficulties are common in disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Current treatments for sleep difficulties are not effective for everyone. Better treatments are needed. In this study, the investigators are testing two nerve stimulation locations that may impact brain function in such a way that sleep is improved. | ||||||||
