Study Summary

The primary aim of the present research project is to investigate the preliminary effects of four weeks of forehead temperature-regulating therapy on insomnia in adults with Tourette's disorder and co-occurring insomnia disorder. This project will also examine the effects of the device on depression, anxiety, and daytime sleepiness, and explore its effects on tic severity.

Primary Outcome

Sleep onset latency will be measured via a wrist actigraph and is defined as duration in minutes between time in bed and sleep onset. An actigraph (Actiwatch Spectrum PRO, Philips Respironics, Amsterdam, Netherlands), worn on the non-dominant wrist, will record daily and nightly movement/activity. Actigraphs will be set to record movements in 30-second epochs. Actigraphy data will be converted into sleep-wake scores guided by sleep diary bed times and rise times.
