Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Primary Insomnia
Interventions
Device: Cereve Sleep System at 14-16 degrees C
Device: Cereve Sleep System at 30 degrees C
Registration Number
NCT01790256
Lead Sponsor
Cereve, Inc.
Brief Summary

Insomnia patients demonstrate subjective and physiological hyperarousal. The Cereve Sleep System has been proposed as a clinical treatment to reverse this hyperarousal in insomnia patients. The current study is a two dose study to determine the optimal temperature for the Cereve Sleep System. Primary outcome measures include EEG sleep measured sleep latency and sleep efficiency.
