Modius Sleep is an FDA cleared wearable medical device, for low risk treatment of chronic insomnia that can be used in the comfort of your own home.
Modius Sleep works by using a technology known as electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS). VeNS is a non-invasive therapeutic method which has shown to improve chronic insomnia.
The vestibular system not only provides our sense of balance but it is now understood that the vestibular system can also influence a person’s sleep, hence rocking a baby to sleep and why people tend to get sleepy during a long car or train journey.
For further information see link to our published research paper:
Repeated electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS) reduces severity in moderate to severe insomnia; a randomised, sham-controlled trial; the modius sleep study.
The neurostimulation is delivered through two self-adhesive electrode pads which are placed on the skin behind each ear. It is recommended that the headset is worn for 30 minutes each evening 1-2 hours prior to going to bed. For more information please watch this short video.
