Nerve stimulation for dry eye symptoms
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests a device that delivers gentle stimulation to a nerve near the ear to help improve dry eye disease. It may help reduce dryness and discomfort, if you meet the study’s health and safety requirements.

This trial tests if mild electrical pulses on the ear can reduce dry eye symptoms. If you have had dry eye for at least 6 months and meet certain eye test results, this non-drug treatment might help.
This trial tests a new way to treat dry eye disease using a device that stimulates tears. It may help if you still have dry eye symptoms despite using artificial tears.
This trial tests a gentle nerve stimulation device placed on the ear to see if it can improve dry eye symptoms caused by blocked oil glands. It may offer a new, drug-free option for relief.
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation around the eye can help relieve dry eye symptoms caused by chronic graft versus host disease (a complication after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant). It is for people with moderate to severe dry eye who have not had recent eye surgeries or certain other eye problems.
This trial tests a non-invasive device that stimulates a nerve in your ear to see if it can help with depression in people with Parkinson's. It does not involve surgery or medication.
This study tests whether gentle nerve stimulation on your ear can reduce both inflammation and depression after a spinal cord injury. It might help people with mild to moderate depression who are already on a stable depression medicine.
