Summary
This study tests whether a device that sends mild electrical currents to the brain (hi-tACS) can improve sleep in people with neuroimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica who also have insomnia. Eighty participants will receive 20 sessions of the stimulation over four weeks. Researchers will track sleep quality and insomnia severity for up to two months after treatment.
