Fraunhofer IDMT Studies ME/CFS Using Mobile EEG for Home Sleep Monitoring
Fraunhofer IDMT's Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology (HSA) department is investigating Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) using mobile EEG for home sleep monitoring in the USA. The 'Sleep-Neuro-Path' project aims to understand ME/CFS mechanisms and develop therapies.
ME/CFS patients often experience cognitive impairments, severe fatigue, and sensory hypersensitivity. Researchers are studying sleep EEG changes to identify neuronal network dysfunctions linked to these symptoms. The exact causes of ME/CFS remain unknown.
The HSA department at Fraunhofer IDMT in Oldenburg is using its mobile EEG system to monitor sleep in ME/CFS patients' homes. Adolescent patients at the Marien-Hospital in Wesel are participating in this study. The 'ME/CFS Symposium 2025' on May 13 will feature a presentation by Dr. Claudia Schilling on the 'Sleep-Neuro-Path' research consortium.
The 'Sleep-Neuro-Path' research consortium, led by Fraunhofer IDMT's HSA department, is dedicated to understanding ME/CFS mechanisms and developing effective therapies over the next three years. Mobile EEG for home sleep monitoring is a key tool in this investigation.
