What this trial studies
This observational study aims to create a patient registry for individuals who are totally blind and may experience Non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder. Participants will engage in a phone survey to provide information about their vision impairment and sleep issues. The registry will help researchers understand sleep-related problems in blind individuals and may facilitate future clinical studies and treatment investigations. The data collected will also raise awareness about Non-24 and its impact on this population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could lead to improved understanding and management of sleep disorders in blind individuals.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is focused on a specific population, similar studies have shown success in understanding sleep disorders, indicating potential for valuable insights.
