Vagus nerve stimulation for diabetic nerve pain
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive device to stimulate the vagus nerve can reduce nerve pain and improve function in people with diabetic neuropathy. It may be a good option if you have burning or electric-shock-like foot pain despite standard diabetes care.
DamiettaAges 45–60 - NCT07425756Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for arm movement after stroke
This trial tests whether combining two types of nerve stimulation (one on the ear, one on the arm) can improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It's for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have some but not full use of their affected arm.
KowloonAges 50–75 - NCT07480785Recruiting
Nerve stimulation plus 3 anti-nausea drugs for surgery nausea
This trial tests whether combining a gentle electrical nerve stimulation technique (called TEAS) with three standard anti-nausea medicines can better prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic surgery in women at high risk. If you qualify, you would receive the stimulation plus the medicines, or the medicines alone, to see which works best.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT07535047Recruiting
How Placebo and TENS Work Together for Lower Back Pain
This study tests whether the expectation of pain relief (the placebo effect) can make a device called TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) work better for acute lower back pain. TENS uses gentle electrical pulses on your skin to reduce pain.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07588490Recruiting
TENS for sudden severe lower back pain in the emergency room
This trial tests a pain-relief device called TENS (a small machine that sends mild electrical pulses through your skin) for people with sudden, severe lower back pain in the emergency department. Researchers want to see if TENS can help reduce your pain quickly without extra medications.

Effects of forehead nerve stimulation on brain and heart
This study tests how gentle electrical stimulation on your forehead (like a tiny healing patch) affects brain waves and heart rate in healthy people. You will have two MRI scans on different days—one with the device turned on and one with it off—to see if the tingling sensation changes your brain or body activity.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–35 - NCT07549243Enrolling by invitation
Ear Nerve Stimulation to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 93 recruiting transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
