Non-invasive brain stimulation for the treatment of sleep disorders in psychiatric conditions-systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent among individuals with psychiatric conditions and significantly impair cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Pharmacotherapy for sleep disturbances carries a risk of dependence and adverse effects, while behavioural therapies are often insufficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel interventions. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial electrical stimulation and electroconvulsive therapy, have shown potential in modulating neural circuits involved in sleep regulation, yet their clinical utility remains uncertain. This protocol outlines a systematic review aiming to evaluate the efficacy, safety and optimal parameters of NIBS for
