Study Summary

This study applied slowly oscillating (0.5 hz) transcranial electrical stimulation (TES; frontopolar and lateral frontal electrodes versus mastoid and occipital electrode returns) to synchronize the endogenous slow oscillations (SOs) of deep sleep (N3 or stage 3 Non-REM). A double-blind placebo control provided no stimulation. The primary endpoint was duration of N3 sleep during the night. Thirteen normal adults completed the study (before the study was terminated because of COVID-19), and usable data were obtained from ten. The synchronizing stimulation resulted in significantly longer N3 sleep compared to placebo.
