As far as I know, there is no prescription cure for night terrors. However, you could try a few of the following:
1) Your brother could sleep with a noise machine in his room. This could help him fall into REM sleep and decreases the chance of an isolated noise disturbing him while in a deep sleep. My little sister's night terrors were often triggered by a slight noise.
2) Your brother could be sure to get to bed before he is overly tired, and have a relaxation time 30 minutes prior to going to bed.
3) Your brother could crack a window or have a fan blowing on him (this could also be his noise machine). Becoming overheated also can trigger night terrors.
Best of luck. I hope he is able to overcome this!
