Sleep Disorders in Dementia

Principal Investigator: Clifford Singer, M.D.

Patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias of old age often have trouble sleeping at night and staying awake during the day. The Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit is investigating sleep disturbance and the impact of sleep problems on daytime function. We are recruiting people with memory problems and either insomnia or daytime sleepiness into several research studies.

A Treatment Study for Those With
Memory Disorders and Sleep Difficulties
Fletcher Allen Health Care and the University of Vermont College of Medicine are conducting a research study to test whether a new investigational medication will improve your sleep.

We are seeking men and women with memory disorders who have difficulty either falling sleep or staying asleep through the night to participate in thisnew treatment trial.

Participants will receive the following study-related benefits at no cost:
  • Study Medication
  • Lab Work & Other Tests
  • Cognitive Exams
  • Physical Exams
Compensation for time and travel is available.
