The STRENGTHEN Study

Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study uses two different types of interventions including electrical brain stimulation delivered during sleep, and brief, daily meditation training. The investigators are trying to figure out whether these techniques, either alone or in combination with each other, can positively impact the brain networks that support our ability to think flexibly and to regulate our emotions. 48 participants will be enrolled into each of 2 phases and can expect to be on study for up to 9 months.
