Clinical Research
There are a number of clinical studies being conducted to investigate the safety and efficacy of a new treatment, a melatonin agonist, which resets the internal clock in people with circadian rhythm sleep disorders, including Non-24. A year-long (2011-2012) study at Harvard and at 26 other sites in the U.S. and Germany, is testing the use of tasimelteon in blind subjects with non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
