Study Overview

This study is a remote, crossover design (everyone will receive two specific FDA approved sleeping medications and a placebo) clinical trial being run by Dr. Thomas Neylan at the University of California, San Francisco. It aims to test the effect of two sleep medications on the treatment of sleep disruption in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) without the need of in-person visits to a study site.

Participants need to have a diagnosis of PSP and be based in California.

All participants will need a care partner who can help provide information about the patient during the interviews.

All standard study assessments will be done over the phone. The study lasts for six weeks, with at least one phone call every week.
