EEG can also be a valuable support to sleep exploration. Thanks to a reliable assessment of sleep latency, sleep EEG data can be used to characterise drug efficacy at an early stage. Don't miss the Alkermes presentation, which is a perfect example of this. #SLEEP2024

⚡The Modius Stress system by Neurovalens wins FDA nod and raises $2.65M. It delivers non-invasive electrical stimulation. It stimulates key areas of the brain and nervous system without the need for surgically implanted electrodes. 🔊 Dr. Jason McKeown , CEO of Neurovalens, said: “ We believe that the low risk, non-invasive therapeutic intervention offered by Neurovalens technology will be truly transformative for a range of serious medical conditions and this latest clearance moves us further towards that goal.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d_kC2xmM 📰 Follow Guided Solutions to receive the latest #MedTech news daily and subscribe to our weekly newsletter: https://lnkd.in/d-Baxsvq #MedicalDevices #MedicalDevice #MedicalEquipment #Medicine #Surgeons #GuidedSolutions

Suggested read here for sleep medicine clinicians ⬇️ The PAP-RES algorithm is a new approach to CPAP therapy. The algorithm focuses on identifying OSA phenotypes, which are distinct groups of individuals with OSA who have different symptom burdens and cardiovascular vulnerability levels. This approach aims to personalize CPAP therapy based on the individual's phenotype, leading to better outcomes and a more effective treatment plan.

Sham-controlled trials are needed to characterize the effect of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) therapy on cardiovascular end points in patients with moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). What is the effect of HGNS therapy on measures of cardiovascular health in patients with moderate-severe OSA? In this double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized crossover therapy trial of 60 patients, mean 24-hour systolic blood pressure and other cardiovascular end points were not significantly different between sham and active HGNS therapy.

Long term effects of #CPAP therapy for patients with obstructive #sleepapnea are still an open question Read my commentary in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine on the latest review article on this topic. Results from the review article point to the lack of high-quality evidence from randomized controlled trials supporting the effectiveness of CPAP in reducing long-term adverse health outcomes, such as mortality, major cardiovascular events like stroke and myocardial infarction, and the development of conditions like anxiety. What are your thoughts on these surprising findings? My commentary: https://lnkd.in/d_X_SucU Review article: https://lnkd.in/dnmNF-GJ #sleep #sleephealth #sleepmedicine #education #science #research

Is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) effective in reducing acute and chronic pain? ⁠ ⁠ Neuromodulation techniques such as TENS and BMT are used as a complementary therapy to alleviate sensations of pain, muscle tension and spasm, and the impact of an 'overprotective brain'. Patients in this study found that TENS provided benefits including enhanced function, improved psychological wellbeing, better sleep, and lower pain intensity immediately after TENS administering. ⁠ ⁠ As TENS treatments can be used in a clinical or at-home setting, patients found repeat treatments aided toward a quicker return to activities of daily living and improvements in quality of life. You can read the full study at https://lnkd.in/gM7TZ-RA ⁠ ⁠ Bioelectric Meridian Therapy is a smart addition to expand your natural therapy practice.

Last week we announced our partnership with Takeda to bring at-home sleep monitoring to clinical trials in orexin franchise and neuroscience portfolio. With our FDA-cleared at-home Dreem device and algorithms for automated sleep staging in hand, we're excited to help Takeda progress towards precision medicine approaches to improve the patient experience. "Beacon is thrilled to work with Takeda to support the advancement of therapies that can improve the lives of patients. Sleep is fundamental to brain health and together we’re setting a new standard for rigorously measuring sleep in clinical trials," stated Jacob Donoghue, MD PhD, our CEO at Beacon Biosignals. "By improving the patient experience and operationalizing at-home sleep assessments at scale, we are generating unprecedented, high-quality data on brain function during drug development. This paves the way for real-world use in clinical diagnostics across neurological and psychiatric indications."

Melatonin is a powerful molecule, with actions throughout the body. Although it often comes to mind for sleep, it has more actions beyond sleep: for circadian health and chronic disease. Melatonin is strongly suppressed by light, and the darkness deficiency of the modern built environment. Happy to team up with colleagues to present the "Light and Melatonin as Medicine" masterclass through HealthMasters Live. Learn how to use these therapies from a range of experts in this 17-hour on-line class. You'll come away with many clinical strategies, and be able to use melatonin with precision. #melatonin #sleep #circadianrhythm #artificiallightatnight #CME https://lnkd.in/gC5YtQGY
