In 2011, our team launched a series of research projects to evaluate the use of HIRREM in a clinical setting. The primary goals are to evaluate the potential benefits of HIRREM, identify which symptoms or conditions may benefit and define the magnitude of any benefit using accepted scientific methods. With the help of many collaborators our secondary goal is to better understand the mechanism(s) of action for HIRREM.

An open label pilot trial to evaluate the use of HIRREM as an adjunct for service members or Veterans with military-related symptoms of traumatic stress (NCT03230890).
A randomized clinical trial for patients with Primary Hypertension (high blood pressure with no clearly identified cause), who have blood pressures between 130-159 mmHg systolic, and 80-99 mmHg diastolic. This study compares the use of in-office HIRREM plus continued current care to continued current care alone (NCT03479697).
A randomized clinical trial for women with menopause-related hot flashes, comparing the use of in-office HIRREM plus continued current care to continued current care alone (NCT03512002).
A randomized, controlled clinical trial for those with insomnia. This study evaluates the use of HIRREM-SOP, an updated approach based on the same HIRREM core technology previously utilized, using new hardware and software, and a standardized series of protocols. The study compares a series of in-office HIRREM-SOP sessions (acoustic stimulation linked to brainwaves), to acoustic stimulation not linked to brainwaves (NCT03607994).
