Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are fresh participants being sought for this clinical trial?

"Accurate. Clinicaltrials.gov states that this trial is no longer recruiting patients, having been initially posted on March 1st 2016 and last updated July 24th 2021. Fortunately, there are 171 other trials actively searching for participants currently available."

Answered by AI

Is my profile compatible with the criteria to join this research effort?

"This medical study is aiming to recruit 1650 individuals between 18 and 40 who are sleep-deprived. To qualify, participants must agree to follow the protocol guidelines, abstain from alcohol and illicit drugs for the duration of the program, hold English as a primary language (in some cases), have normal hearing capabilities, and possess either unimpaired or corrected vision."

Answered by AI

What outcomes are being sought through this experiment?

"The target of this medical research, assessed over a 4-24 hour period, is to evaluate the augmentation in Serial reaction time test scores. Secondary measurements include Sleep microstructure (EEG spectral power for N2 and N3 sleep), Sleep architecture's absolute times, and Sleep Architecture's percent times."

Answered by AI

Is the age limit for participating in this trial under 25 years old?

"This clinical trial is looking for participants who are between 18 and 40 years old."
