(RxWiki News) The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a device for sleep problems related to nightmares.
This device is called Nightware. The FDA approved it to temporarily reduce sleep disturbances tied to nightmares.
Nightware is approved for adults who are at least 22 years old and have been diagnosed with nightmare disorder or have nightmares related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
When someone experiences a shocking, scary or dangerous event, they can develop PTSD. And those with PTSD may experience sleep problems and nightmares.
