Hello all.
I was asked to send along this message about a study.
STUDY ANNOUNCEMENT: 

Clinical Research Study Recruitment

Blind individuals with no light perception needed. A local doctor is conducting research to evaluate a new investigational treatment for insomnia and daytime sleepiness in individuals who are totally blind.

Individuals may qualify who:

. are between 18 and 75 years of age

. are blind with no light perception

. have trouble sleeping at night or experience daytime sleepiness

Participants will be compensated for their time and effort and will receive study medication and study-related medical evaluation at no cost

For more information call 1-888-389-7033 M-F 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET

 Below is some additional information about the trial:

  a.. We are opening a site in New York City that will be conducting this trial; we also have a number of sites around the country. 

  a.. The site will arrange and cover the cost for all transportation to and from the site for participants and guardians. Any other requests for travel arrangements (ie. guide dogs, hotel) will be accommodated. 

  a.. There is compensation for participation in the trial. 

  a.. Please note that it is possible that some people may report having some light perception, but also have sleep issues (e.g.  trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, daytime sleepiness, etc.); we would encourage these people to call the 1800 number on the announcement, as it is still possible that they could qualify for the trial. 

Kind Regards,

Brooke Davis
