Vagus nerve ear stimulation for endometriosis pelvic pain
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether stimulating a nerve through the ear (non-surgical, through the skin) can reduce chronic pelvic pain from endometriosis. It may help if standard care hasn’t fully controlled symptoms like painful periods or pain during sex.
