A program focused on measuring and resetting brainwaves at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center has received a $600,000 grant to expand its research, including studies on insomnia and migraine headaches.

It is the program's second grant from the Susanne Marcus Collins Foundation. The first grant enabled the center to launch a study on migraines.

The program is perhaps best known for clinical research that focuses on assisting patients with moderate to severe insomnia using Brainwave Optimization, a noninvasive technology that helps the brain achieve balance.

Dr. Charles Tegeler, a neurology professor at Wake Forest Baptist, said the $600,000 grant will enable the program to expand its insomnia and migraine research, as well as add projects on mild cognitive impairment and traumatic brain injury.
