Clinical Trials

Are you an adult with a diagnosed sleep phase disorder? This study aims to assess the sleep patterns and quality of sleep in people who have sleep phase disorders to determine how the disorders affect their circadian rhythms. To participate in this study, you must be at least 18 years old and have a sleep phase disorder, such as advanced sleep-wake phase syndrome or delayed sleep-wake phase syndrome. This study is located in Chicago, Illinois.

Do you have overweight? Circadian rhythm disorders can cause overweight and obesity. This study is examining how not getting enough sleep causes these complications. To participate in this study, you must be between the ages of 20 and 40 and have overweight but not obesity. This study is located in New York, New York.

Are you a healthy adult who regularly sleeps for 6.5 or fewer hours? This study is examining whether getting enough sleep can lower your risk of high blood pressure. To participate in this study, you must be between 18 and 65 years old, regularly sleep for 6.5 or fewer hours, and be able to adjust your sleep schedule for the study. This study is located in Rochester, Minnesota.

Are you in need of a heart or lung transplant or have you had one in the past 3 months? Have you undergone a lung or heart transplant in the past 3 months or are you a candidate for heart or lung transplant? Some people with advanced heart and lung disease have heart and lung transplants but these new organs are often rejected. When this happens, patients must have repeated biopsies, which are invasive and expensive. Researchers in this clinical study want to see if a blood test can predict organ rejection and take the place of biopsies. To participate, you must be 18 to 80 years old and be a candidate for heart or lung transplant or have had a heart or lung transplant no more than three months ago. The study is taking place in Bethesda, Maryland, at the NIH Clinical Center, as well as in Baltimore, Maryland, and Falls Church, Virginia.

The goal of this research is to assess the utility of smartphone-based progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) for the treatment of migraine and sleep.

The purpose of this project is to test sleep reactivity as an independent cause of Shift Work Disorder (SWD).

Do you have HIV and insomnia? This study is looking at whether insomnia increases pain and inflammation in people who have HIV. To participate in this study, you must be 18 to 85 years old and either be healthy or diagnosed with HIV, with or without insomnia. This study is located in Birmingham, Alabama.

Have you previously been prescribed opioid medicines? This study will find out whether waking up frequently during the night can affect the way your brain processes certain medicines. To participate in this study, you must be 18 to 48 years old, have a normal sleep cycle, and have previously taken opioid medicines to treat pain. This study is located in Baltimore, Maryland.

Have you been diagnosed with LAM? This study is trying to understand the genes and proteins that are responsible for causing lung damage in patients with LAM. To participate in this study, you must be between 16 and 99 years old and diagnosed with LAM. This study is located in Bethesda, Maryland.

Are you an adult female who has been diagnosed with LAM? This study is examining which delivery method of albuterol—inhaled or nebulizer—is better at improving lung function in adult women who have LAM. This study is located in Bethesda, Maryland.
