This study evaluates a wearable system (NEUSleeP) that combines overnight EEG recording with transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) targeted to deep brain structures involved in REM sleep regulation (e.g., subthalamic nucleus). The primary objective is to assess safety and estimate effects on REM sleep quantity and architecture; secondary objectives include changes in stress-related measures. Healthy adults aged 18-50, with or without subclinical sleep or stress complaints, will complete two consecutive overnight recordings: Night 1 (baseline, no stimulation) and Night 2 (tFUS, EEG-guided and timed to REM). Participants will complete stress questionnaires. fMRI is conducted using two paradigms: in an imaging-validation subset, pre- and post-stimulation scans are acquired in the same MRI-FUS session; in the two-night cohorts, scans are acquired the morning before and the morning after the FUS night to assess BOLD responses. Outcomes include REM time, REM percentage, number of REM periods, REM latency, safety/tolerability, and exploratory neuroimaging and self-reported stress measures. Findings will inform the feasibility of a wearable EEG-tFUS approach to modulate REM sleep and stress adaptation.
In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators intend to measure the health impact of time restricted eating (TRE) in patients with metabolic syndrome (with elevated blood pressure and at least 2 of the following: increased waist circumference, abnormal cholesterol levels, elevated triglycerides, and elevated fasting glucose levels), who habitually eat more than 12 hours every day. Patients will be randomly assigned to a control group (standard of care) or intervention group (TRE).
This study aims to evaluate neurophysiological responses and symptom changes in individuals with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and/or chronic pain. Participants will undergo standard clinical assessments including EEG, EMG, h-reflex, SSEP, ERP, and TMS under varying SCS conditions.The study involves 4 arms. Arm 1 are individuals diagnosed with RLS and Healthy Controls. Arm 2 are individuals diagnosed with RLS and have an existing SCS. Arm 3 are individuals diagnosed with RLS and scheduled to receive a SCS. Arm 4 are individuals with chronic pain and have a SCS, but no diagnosis of RLS.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to pilot the virtual delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and nightmares (CBT-I\&N) via telehealth as an early intervention for treating posttraumatic sleep disturbance in acute trauma patients exposed to interpersonal violence. The main aims are to: 1. Test the acceptability, feasibility, and satisfaction of sleep-focused CBT delivered early after trauma 2. Evaluate the impact of sleep-focused CBT delivered early after trauma on sleep disturbance 3. Evaluate the impact of sleep-focused CBT delivered early after trauma on PTSD symptoms The investigators will compare CBT-I and CBT-I\&N to sleep education control. Participants will meet with a provider for 6 weekly sessions via telehealth and complete surveys on the participants' symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KarXT + KarX-EC in adult participants with agitation related to Alzheimer's Disease.

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pemvidutide in subjects with ALD. * Pemvidutide: 2.4 mg SC once weekly * Placebo: Placebo SC once weekly
This study will look at whether motivational sessions (including regular calls with a trained health coach) in combination with time-restricted eating (TRE) is an effective way to achieve weight loss and lower cardiometabolic risk in adult survivors of childhood cancer. The researchers will look at how effective this intervention is compared to the usual approach, which is to review educational materials and measure weight once a month. This study will not provide treatment for any disease or cancer.
The purpose of this project is to identify the effects of a severe burn injuries in humans on core temperature responses during work:rest cycles while in a heated environment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if maternal left-lateral positioning in pregnancy works to treat fetal growth restriction. This study will also help us learn about the effects of left-lateral positioning on maternal metabolomics, maternal mental health, fetal cardiac function, and delivery outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does maternal left-lateral position in a pregnancy with fetal growth restriction improve the baby's growth? * How are maternal metabolomics, delivery outcomes, maternal mental health, and fetal cardiac function impacted by maternal left-lateral position? Researchers will compare the intervention group to pregnancies with fetal growth restriction that receive standard of care (without left-lateral positioning) to see if left-lateral position improves fetal biometry in fetal growth restriction. Participants will: * Practice left-lateral position every day for 4 hours (cumulatively) with 10-mins stretching after every hour of left-lateral position, or continue to receive standard of care * Visit the clinic once after 4 weeks for a follow-up research visit, and at the time of delivery Tracking of the physical activity and adherence to left-lateral position at home in intervention group A will be done through a fitbit (smart watch) given during enrollment. A fitbit will also be given to participants in intervention group B, receiving standard of care, to monitor their physical activity trends at home.
