Location- and Frequency-Dependent Effects of Thalamic Temporal Interference Stimulation During Sleep

Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study is to find out whether a type of non-invasive electrical brain stimulation called temporal interference transcranial electrical stimulation (TI-TES) can temporarily change brain activity during sleep, especially sleep spindles (brain rhythms in the \~8-16 Hz range). Up to 24 healthy participants in Dane County, Wisconsin will be enrolled for 3 overnight study visits. Participants can expect to be on study for approximately 5 weeks, depending on scheduling availability.

Interventions

OTHER

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI is to optimize placement of multipolar TI-TES

DEVICE

Broad thalamic stimulation (TI-TES)

Stimulation targeted at the whole thalamus. Within each overnight session, up to 24 stimulation protocols will be administered, randomized across frequencies (including SHAM). Stimulation will be initiated by trained sleep technicians during stable N2 sleep and delivered in 3-minute epochs separated by 6-minute intervals to enable comparison of PRE, STIM, and POST intervals

DEVICE

Carrier only SHAM stimulation

Carrier only SHAM condition. Within each overnight session, up to 24 stimulation protocols will be administered, randomized across frequencies (including SHAM). Stimulation will be initiated by trained sleep technicians during stable N2 sleep and delivered in 3-minute epochs separated by 6-minute intervals to enable comparison of PRE, STIM, and POST intervals

DEVICE

Anterior thalamic stimulation (TI-TES)

Stimulation targeted at the anterior thalamus. Within each overnight session, up to 24 stimulation protocols will be administered, randomized across frequencies (including SHAM). Stimulation will be initiated by trained sleep technicians during stable N2 sleep and delivered in 3-minute epochs separated by 6-minute intervals to enable comparison of PRE, STIM, and POST intervals

DEVICE

Posterior thalamic stimulation (TI-TES)

Stimulation targeted at the posterior thalamus. Within each overnight session, up to 24 stimulation protocols will be administered, randomized across frequencies (including SHAM). Stimulation will be initiated by trained sleep technicians during stable N2 sleep and delivered in 3-minute epochs separated by 6-minute intervals to enable comparison of PRE, STIM, and POST intervals.
