TLDR
The clinical efficacy of Manasamitra Vataka and Shirodhara (Ayurvedic treatments) over clonazepam in preserving slow wave sleep and promoting sleep quality in patients of generalized anxiety disorder with co-morbid generalized social phobia is demonstrated.Abstract:
This study demonstrates the clinical efficacy of Manasamitra Vataka and Shirodhara (Ayurvedic treatments) over clonazepam in preserving slow wave sleep and promoting sleep quality in patients of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) with co-morbid generalized social phobia. Whole night polysomnography was carried out to assess the sleep architecture and spindle- delta dynamics. The study highlights the sleep promoting and preserving nature of Manasamitra Vataka and Shirodhara in GAD patients with co-morbid generalized social phobia. Ayurvedic treatments were helpful in improving the subjective quality of sleep and preserve sleep organization. Further studies are needed to confirm the potential of Ayurvedic interventions as a treatment of choice in the management of anxiety disorders.read more

Boosting slow oscillations during sleep potentiates memory
TL;DR: It is shown that inducing slow oscillation-like potential fields by transcranial application of oscillating potentials during early nocturnal non-rapid-eye-movement sleep, enhances the retention of hippocampus-dependent declarative memories in healthy humans.
